AbstractThis article explores the juncture between historical time and space in the context of socialist feminism, primarily through the memoir of an Indian woman activist who spent four years in East Berlin as the Asian Secretary at the Women's International Democratic Federation. This primary source material is drawn from a longer history of Indian leftist women's participation in political mobilizations and organizational work, the literary tradition of travel writing, found especially in Bengal, and academic histories of socialist feminism.

After the Congress of Berlin in 1878, in Bosnia and Hercegovina we saw big changes. The Austrian government was building roads, and railroad tracks. In the Austro-Hungarian period, also they changed their architectural style; from the prevailing ottoman one to more like in Vienna or Prague. This situation was a short time, in live only one generation. These changes affected to life and behavior of Bosnia and Hercegovinas’ citizens. Was changed several people, because after the Austrian arrive, a lot of Muslims Bosniacs, and Turks, were left this part. There were elites in this place. Their positions, how “new elites” take people which they came from different part of the Habsburg Monarchy; Hungarians, Germans, Poles, Czechs, etc. They were taking new ideas, how feminism. The emancipation of women was something new in these places. The first woman, which was proclaiming the slogans, as teachers. On the article we can show two examples; Jelica Belović-Bernadzikowska, and Jagoda Truhelka. They were born in Osijek, from giving Bosnian part ideas, that girl needs to will independent and need to have good graduated. These modern ideas, supported, in a way, the government because in the country was a school program for girls. Austro-Hungarian politics was building a school for girls, and take some scholarship went girl studied in University, how Marija Bergman, born in Bosnia, daughter of some Jews officials. However teachers not only modern women, similar roles had women-doctors. Girls who graduated Faculty of Medicine, arrive in Bosnia and Hercegovina and help Muslim women. Poles Teodora Krajewska and Czechs Anna Bayerova also take ideas of feminism, but, most important that she was great respect between patience. Propagating the feministic ideas was thinking which affect all women. Most important was not only slogans but also changes in everyday life normal family in Bosnia and Hercegovina. The other day only men can work on the farmland or work. After the Congress of Berlin situations was changed. On the consequences, women must be going to work, often how a worker in fabric. Work was hard, but women first time have their cash. Automatically her position in society was better. These situations have consequences for the city, as like villages. We sow this situation in the book Vere Ehrlich, which researched this topic in the interwar period. In the article, we went to show, that this changing was things also women, which life to margin, how prostitutes. Naturally, their life was always difficult, but the new government also got assistance. Habsburg's administration knew, that better control of specific profession, because this is the way how deal with the epidemic of syphilis, and something like this. In this work, we use scientific literature and documents from archives, mainly the Archive of Federation Bosnia and Hercegovina, and Historical Archive from city Sarajevo, when was document fo Jelica Belović-Bernadzikowska. How method we use case study and analyzing to literature and historical sources.

Full textAbstract:
Health concerns by migrants have been neglected in the German healthcare system, and they are impacted by discriminating discourses of othering. By analysing two autobiographical illness narratives by immigrants in contemporary Germany, this article exposes limitations in existing discourses of migration health and argues for more relational and affirmative theories of illness and care. Evelyn Leandro’s diary The Living Death: The Struggle with a Long-Forgotten Illness (2017) describes her own drawn-out therapy against leprosy as a Brazilian in Berlin. In Mr Kiyak Thought That the Best Part of His Life Will Start Now (2013), the Turkish-German journalist Mely Kiyak narrates her father’s experience with advanced lung cancer in a German hospital. Drawing on medical anthropology, postcolonial theory and material (eco)feminism, I argue that these narratives establish migrant health and agency in transnational assemblages that include chemotherapy, lungs and skin, family networks, healthcare providers, food cultures and health policies. These assemblages of illness are connected with the narratives’ hybrid and relational aesthetics and politics: similar to Gloria Anzaldúa’s practice of autohistoria-teoría, I show how Kiyak’s and Leandro’s life writing combines personal and communal storytelling with critical theorising to include diverse voices, languages, histories and identities. By transgressing identities of self and other, German and foreign, patient and physician, human and non-human, the narratives inspire a greater sense of the extent to which (all) bodies, histories, cultures, technology and medicine are entangled in a dense network of relations. This article envisions a relational and hybrid ontology and aesthetics of migration health and thereby intervenes into the growing field of transcultural medicine and medical humanities.

Na produção bibliográfica existente, constata-se uma lacuna no que diz respeito à participação feminina nas (sub)culturas juvenis. Será que jovens-adolescentes do sexo feminino constituem uma minoria no movimento hip hop ou em outras manifestações culturais como as galeras ou gangues? O presente artigo questiona a ausência de estudos sobre jovens-adolescentes do sexo feminino, tanto nos trabalhos sobre juventude como nos estudos feministas, destacando a necessidade de pesquisas voltadas para a compreensão das ações juvenis em seus contextos específicos. Com base em dados empíricos sobre jovens-adolescentes negras e jovens de origem turca pertencentes ao movimento hip hop nas cidades de São Paulo e Berlim, discute ainda a luta pela conquista de espaço e de reconhecimento nesse movimento cultural de predominância masculina.

Full textAbstract:
So heftig und kontrovers wie der von Patsy L’Amour LaLove, einer an der HU Berlin promovierten Geschlechterforscherin, herausgegebene Essayband (Beißreflexe, 2017) wurde seit langer Zeit kein (wissenschaftliches) Buch mehr diskutiert. Es drängt sich der Eindruck auf, dass die sich selbst als aktivistische »Polittunte « verstehende Herausgeberin offensichtlich den Zeitgeist eines mit sich selbst strauchelnden Queerfeminismus getroffen habe: Solch eine Vielzahl an mehr als nur leidenschaftlichen Reaktionen allerlei Couleur konnte eine in erster Linie akademische Anthologie mit Texten zur aktuellen Verfassung der LGBTIQ*-Kultur und -Szene sowie zum Stand der akademisch geführten und im Zweifelsfall auch gelebten Queer Studies seit geraumer Zeit nicht verzeichnen – was sich unter anderem in der mittlerweile nun vierten Auflage des Titels innerhalb eines Jahres seit Veröffentlichung niederschlägt. Im Zuge der Debatte, welche in den letzten Wochen und Monaten in verschiedensten Medien (Zeit, Tagesspiegel, NZZ, FAZ, Süddeutsche) um die Publikation entbrannte, haben sich sowohl die darin versammelten AutorInnen als auch Judith Butler, Sabine Hark, Paula-Irene Billa, Alice Schwarzer und andere zu Wort gemeldet. Der selbst als Autor in besagtem Band vertretene freie Journalist und Redakteur Dirk Ludigs beanstandet seinerseits, dass die queeren akademischen Diskurse unserer Tage einem toten Rennen gleichen. Der Stellungskrieg der Kulturtheorien verändere nicht nur nichts mehr in den Köpfen aller Teilnehmenden, seine Debatten gehen zudem noch praktisch spurlos an all jenen vorbei, zu deren Verbesserung der Verhältnisse sie angeblich geführt werden würden. Es sei, so die Position des selber seit den 80er Jahren in der queeraktivistischen Szene Berlins sozialisierten Autors, an der Zeit, die (zu) weitgehende Akademisierung queeren Denkens und Handelns kritisch zu hinterfragen und nach fruchtbaren Quellen für einen anderen queeren Aktivismus zu suchen. Eine entgegengesetzte Position vertritt Andrea Geier. Auch sie räumt ein, dass die Identitätspolitik in eine Krise geraten sei –der Vorwurf, dass mehr um die Anerkennung von Identitäten statt für deren Überwindung gekämpft werde, würde darüber hinaus von Neudeutungen postmoderner Theorien begleiten werden sowie von der Frage, ob sich aus akademischen Theoriediskursen überhaupt noch emanzipatorisches Potential gewinnen ließe. Ihr Beitrag erörtert aus akademisch geschulter und kritischer Perspektive diese Entwicklungen und plädiert mit Nachdruck für eine Debattenkultur, welche sich mit intersektional geschärftem Blick notwendig komplexen Aushandlungsprozessen der uns heute in all ihren komplexen Facetten und Problematiken begegnenden Identitätskultur und -politik auseinandersetzt. It has been a long time since a (scientific) anthology has been discussed so intensely and controversially as it has been the case with the volume of Patsy L’Amour LaLove (Beißreflexe, 2017), who achieved her PhD in Gender studies at the HU Berlin. It is not easy to shake off the impression that the editor, who thinks of herself as an activist »Polittunte« (political pansy) has captured the Zeitgeist of a queer-feminism that is at war with itself: a fact which is reflected in the multitude of rather passionate responses from all kinds of social backgrounds; no other first and foremost academic anthology composed of texts concerning the current constitution of the LGBTIQ*-culture and –scene as well as discussing the current status of academically argued and sometimes lived queer-studies has been able to garner so much attention. The huge success of this work is also reflected in this being the fourth edition within one year since its original publication. Referring to the debate kindled by the anthology which has been present in different newspapers over the past weeks and months (Zeit, Tagesspiegel, NZZ, FAZ, Süddeutsche), some of the authors have made a public statement as well as other public figures such as Judith Butler, Sabine Hark, Paula-Irene Billa and Alice Schwarzer. Free journalist and editor, Dirk Ludigs, who is an author of one of the articles from the anthology has since stated that today’s academic discussion concerning queer subjects resembles a dead heat. The practice of positional warfare in culture theories not only fails to evoke a change in the minds of its participants but rather passes by the very people whose circumstances it originally helped to alleviate. Being an author of the Berlin queer-activist scene since the 1980s he states that it is time to challenge the (too) extensive academisation of queer thinking and action and to be on the outlook for other sources of queer activism. Andrea Geier supports a contradicting position; she, too, acknowledges the crisis of identity politics – the accusation that the fight is mainly about recognition of identity and less about the triumph over it is backed up by new interpretations of postmodern theories as well as the question of whether it is possible to gain emancipatory potential out of academic theory-driven discussions. Her article discussed these developments from an academically educated and critical perspective and expressively supports the call for a culture of debate that, with a keen eye for intersectional themes, discusses the necessarily complex negotiation processes of identity culture and politics in all their facets and inherent problems

Full textAbstract:
The World War II diary A Woman in Berlin: Eight Weeks in the Conquered City (2005) documents one woman’s story of survival in the spring of 1945 in Berlin, during which upward of 130,000 women were raped by soldiers of the Red Army. First, this essay introduces the politics of recuperating the English translation of the diary within the context of the scant supporting historical documentation and memorialization of Berliner women’s experience during the occupation. Second, it demonstrates how the diary produces a feminist account of survival and a narrative for collective trauma by examining the diarist’s representations of the effects of rape and rubblestrewn Berlin. Third, the essay details the complicated publication history of the diary through a consideration of the relationship between the trauma sustained by the survivors of mass rape and the blows to German national identity that it documents.

Este trabalho tem como foco a emergência de uma geração de psicanalistas mulhe-res, nos anos 1920, cuja autoria foi reconhecida e que encontrou um lugar na his-tória do movimento psicanalítico. A partir de um breve contraste com a geração de psicanalistas mulheres dos anos 1910, o artigo interroga: o que tornou possível às analistas dos anos 1920 ocuparem um novo lugar? Nesse sentido, realçamos dois processos: o avanço das lutas feministas, encarnadas no movimento sufragista, e a abertura de um tempo em que as controvérsias, no movimento psicanalítico, não implicam, necessariamente, rupturas. A partir do Congresso de Berlim, em 1922, três temas dominaram os debates: a formalização da prática clínica, a análise de crianças e a sexualidade feminina. Nossa hipótese é de que o problema do feminino perpassa esses três temas como efeito de uma marca instaurada pela geração de 1910, que a de 1920 ativa, retrospectivamente.

Full textAbstract:
Diese Dissertation forscht in der Philosophie und in der Theorie des Sozialraumes, und kommt zu einer theoretischen Betrachtung des Sozialraumes, die helfen kann, Sozialprozesse in Berlin zu erklären. Bezug nehmend auf Lefebvres, Theorien der Unterschiedlichkeit und der Vielfältigkeit wird spatialisiert. Im Gegenzug werden anhand von Theorien, der Unterschiedlichkeit und Vielfältigkeit, die auf transnationalem Urbanismus, und der feministischen Geographie basieren, die Grenzen der lefebvreschen Theorie des Sozialunterschiedes herausgestellt. Während die Theorien von Lefebvre schwerpunktmäßig auf Marx basieren, basieren die feministischen poststructural Theorien des Unterschiedes in der Darlegung auf endloser Flexibilität, Zerteilung und radikaler Vielfältigkeit. Es gibt folglich eine unüberwindbare Kluft zwei theoretischen Perspektiven. Um die Beschränkungen und die Möglichkeiten dieser Perspektiven zu veranschaulichen, werden zwei soziale Phänomene beschrieben Das erste ist die Entwickelung der Hausbesetzerszene in Berlin nach dem Mauerfall. Das zweite sind die Erfahrungen, der Newcomers in Berlin. Einige Grenzen der Hausbesetzer und der Newcomers werden durch die Anwendung der Theorien des produzierten Raumes von Lefebvre, der flexiblen Vielfältigkeit von Doreen Massey, der übernationalen feministischen Geographie von Geraldine Pratt, und der radikalen Flexibilität und Fragmentation von Zygmunt Bauman deutlich. Die Geographie der Hausbesetzerbewegungs- und die Geschichte der Newcomers decken nicht nur einen Mangel an Zentralität, sondern auch ein umfangreiches überterritoriales Netz auf. Sie zeigen auch, dass Unterschiedlichkeit sich im Raum materialisiert. Eine Brücke zwischen Lefebvre und poststruktureller Unterschiedlichkeit konnte durch das Überdenken der für Lefebvre notwendigen Zentralität des Sozialraumes, so wie des ökonomische Reduktionismus gefunden werden. Gleichzeitig, kann der Diskurs der Unterschiedlichkeit einen Nutzen aus einer tieferen Analyse der materiellen Form des Raumes. Diese Abhandlung ist folglich ein Zugang zum allgemeinen Überdenken der räumlichen Sozialtheorie.This ideational dissertation delves into the philosophy and theory of social space, and arrives at a theoretical vision of social space which can help explain social processes in Berlin. Drawing on Lefebvre, theories of difference and multiplicity are spatialised. Conversely, drawing on theories of difference and multiplicity from transnational urbanism and feminist geography, the limits of Lefebvre’s theory of social difference are exposed. While the theories of Lefebvre are heavily based on Marx, the feminist poststructural theories of difference are based in the discourse on infinite flexibility, fragmentation, and radical multiplicity. There is thus a gaping cleft between the two theoretical perspectives. To illustrate the limitations and possibilities of these perspectives, two social phenomena are described. The first involves the post-Wall squatter scene in Berlin. The second involves experiences of newcomers in Berlin. By examining the theory of produced space from Lefebvre, the theories of coeval and flexible multiplicity from Doreen Massey, the theories transnational feminist geographies of Geraldine Pratt, and the imagery of flexible everything from Zygmunt Bauman, some theoretical borders of squatters and newcomers come into focus. The geographies of squatter movements and newcomers’ history reveal not only a profound lack of centrality, rather an extensive trans-territorial network. They also show that difference is deeply spatialised and material. A bridge between Lefebvre and poststructuralist difference might be found in the rethinking Lefebvre’s necessary centrality of social space, as the economic reductionism his Marxism requires. At the same time, the discourse on difference might benefit from a deeper analysis of the materiality of space. This dissertation is therefore an entry point into the general rethinking of social space.

La presse feministe fleurit en r. F. A. Et a berlin-ouest dans les annees 70 parallelement a la presse feminine traditionnelle dont elle se distingue tant par la forme que par le fond. La revue courage et le mensuel emmarevue feministe la plus importante d'europe - symbolisent le succes de cette presse ecrite faite par des femmes pour des femmes, qui par certaines caracteristiques journalistiques, s'apparente a la "presse alternative" emergeant a la meme periode, mais dont l'eclosion est etroitement liee au mouvement feminin. L'histoire de la presse feminine engagee est de fait bien anterieure, ses sources remontant en 1848 avant que l'importance numerique des supports d'associations feminines ne reflete, entre 1890 et la premiere guerre mondiale, l'ampleur d'un mouvement feminin plus jamais egale dont la chronique et les debats sont illustres et determines par les organes de presses de ses courants majeurs, die frau, die frauenbewegung et die gleichheit. L'etude de la presse feministe allemande rend compte du contexte et des conditions qui ont favorise l'emergence de ce phenomene, des objectifs et des repercussions de cette forme et pratique de la contestation feminine, temoigne de l'evolution des mentalites et montre que la discontinuite n'exclut pas toute continuite phenomenologiqueThe feminist press flourished in the frg ans west-berlin during the 70s; so did the traditional women's press from which it differed in its aspect as well as in its contents. The magazine courage and the monthly emma the feminist publication with the hargest circulation in europe - symbolise the success of the press written by women for women. Through some of its characteristics, the feminist press can be related to the "alternative presse" emerging in the same period, but its birth is closely linked to the women's movement. The militant women's press, nevertheless, can be traced much further back in history, namely, early than 1848, long before the emergence of a large number of women's associations outlets in the period from 1890 to world war one. The latter tendency reflects a never equaled bloosoming of the women's movement, whose chronicle and issues are forwarded by the publications of its largest tendencies, die frau, die frauenbewegung and die gleichheit. This survey of the german feminist press acknowledges the context and the conditions which favoured the emergence of the phenomenon, as well as the objectives and repercussions of this pressaspect and implement of the constestation of women. The evolution of mentalities can thus be witnessed and it appears that historical lapses do not exclude phenomenological continuty

Although beginning from the more general question 'What has happened to the women’s movement?', the more precise research questions this thesis addresses are: 'how and why do feminist organisations style their organisations in the way they do?', and 'what are the dynamics that guide organisational transformation and change?'. In order to answer these questions, the thesis relies on the theoretical tools provided by social movement research. More specifically, it refers to the emerging branch of literature called the 'cognate area', in which concepts borrowed from traditional approaches to social movements are revisited and combined in order to take into account the effects of cultural and structural, interpretative and material factors in triggering, shaping and transforming mobilization. Such an approach was chosen because it allows the researcher to better consider the great variety of organisational forms which marks women’s movement organisations which has in turn, in some respects, made it an 'awkward' movement to study for scholars of social movements. Methodologically, the thesis takes a comparative approach to investigating the trajectory of the women’s movement in two countries: Germany and Italy. Considering that feminist activism is traditionally rooted at the local level, the empirical research focuses, through the triangulation of interviews, participant observation and document analysis, on two urban contexts: Berlin and Milan. The thesis recognizes the great importance of past organisational experiences for WMOs. Accordingly, following two chapters dedicated respectively to theoretical approaches and the definition of the women’s movement and WMOs, as well as methodology, the third chapter of the thesis describes in detail the path of WMOs in the two cities - from the 1960s until 2000. The final part of the chapter highlights historical similarities and differences. Finally, the last two chapters and the conclusions focus on the empirical research, showing how different political opportunity structures, traditions of mobilization, organizational repertoires, material opportunities and ideological legacies all concurred in shaping different 'multiorganisational fields' on women's issues and thus different organisational choices for single WMOs. The greater dependence of Berlin WMOs on public funding, their greater degree of professionalization and formalization, as well as their greater isolation from potential political allies are all factors that largely influence their goals and functioning. In Milan organizations are conditioned by a lower level of professionalization, relative financial independence, the presence of double militants who act as bridges with other political organisations in the broader area of the Left, and by a greater reliance on (different) feminist theoretical approaches in choosing and organizing goals and activities.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines “autonomy” as a political goal of the West German women’s movement from its beginning in 1968 to 1978. As the central concept of the movement, autonomy was interpreted and applied in women’s groups and projects through a variety of organizational principles. The thesis takes case studies of different feminist projects. Successive chapters examine the Berlin Women’s Centre; Verena Stefan’s novel Shedding, the women’s press Frauenoffensive, and the women’s bookstore Labrys; and the periodicals Frauenzeitung, Courage, and Emma. These studies show that autonomously organized projects were characterized by the expression of an anti-hierarchical ethos. The Berlin Women’s Centre organized itself around collective decision making and self sustainability. Women’s writing and publishing projects established an alternative literary space. National feminist periodicals created journalistic spaces capable of coordinating the movement while subverting a dominant viewpoint. These examples illustrate how networks of autonomous projects established an autonomous cultural counter-sphere both separate and different from the established public sphere.

Full textAbstract:
Anti-racist and queer politics have tentatively converged in the activist agendas, organizing strategies and political discourses of the radical left all over the world. Pejoratively dismissed as »identity politics«, the significance of this cross-pollination of theorizing and political solidarities has yet to be fully countenanced. Even less well understood, coalitions of anti-racist and queer activisms in western Europe have fashioned durable organizations and creative interventions to combat regnant anti-Muslim and anti-migrant racism within mainstream gay and lesbian culture and institutions, just as the latter consolidates and capitalizes on their uneven inclusions into national and international orders. The essays in this volume represent a small snapshot of writers working at this point of convergence between anti-racist and queer politics and scholarship from the context of Germany. Translated for the first time into English, these four writers and texts provide a compelling introduction to what the introductory essay calls »a Berlin chapter of the Queer Intersectional«, that is, an international justice movement conducted in the key of academic analysis and political speech which takes inspiration from and seeks to synthesize the fruitful concoction of anti-racist, queer, feminist and anti-capitalist traditions, movements and theories. With contributions by Judith Butler, Zülfukar Çetin, Sabine Hark, Daniel Hendrickson, Heinz-Jürgen-Voß, Salih Alexander Wolter and Koray Yılmaz-Günay

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines feminism and activism against gender-based violence in East Germany, and asks what it shows about the development and practice of feminism in Germany. It explores how East German activists thought and spoke about violence against women and how they sought to address it in ways distinct from feminist practices in the West. In doing so, it shows how East German activists shaped feminism to speak to life under socialism and assist women living with violence. While there was little time for these activists to create change before the collapse of socialism in 1989, this work took on renewed importance after reunification. At that time, the delegitimization of socialism and the integration of the German Democratic Republic into the Federal Republic paved new avenues for activists tackling violence against women. Indeed, domestic violence projects in the former East Germany quickly received financial and political support from the new authorities, revealing how feminism, and feminists, had successfully transformed the political landscape of Germany.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction outlines the main themes and arguments of Feminist Transformations. It situates the book's findings within existing literatures on feminism and the history of divided Germany. It provides an historical and historiographical overview of feminism in Germany, showing both how the history of feminism has thus far been written and how women's rights and gender roles have featured in Germany in the long-twentieth century. Additionally, it reflects on contemporary studies on processes of co-optation, feminist mainstreaming, and social change. In doing so, it lays out the central claim of the book that feminist domestic violence activism has been one of the most successful campaigns of the women's movement in Germany, but one that has come at a price. It further asserts the importance of including East Germany in the history and historiography of feminism in Germany.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines feminist activism across Berlin from 1989 to 2002. It specifically compares the experiences of abortion rights activists with those working to address domestic violence. Abortion was an important flashpoint for women's rights during reunification as East German women fought to save the more expansive socialist abortion law. Although this ultimately failed, gender-based and domestic violence activism were in contrast revitalized after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Comparing these two key issues of women's rights, the chapter's aims are twofold. Firstly, by decentring abortion from the history of women's activism in reunified Germany, this chapter reveals the legacies—if not successes—of East German approaches to feminism and domestic violence activism. Secondly, it asks why some women's issues, like domestic violence, found political traction, where others, in this case reproductive rights, did not. Ultimately, this chapter argues that only those rights that fit most closely with gendered ideals and norms, like protecting women from domestic violence, have made inroads in the Federal Republic.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter offers an overview of positive and negative liberty and how that debate relates to feminism. In this interview Nancy Hirschman argues against Isaiah Berlin: There are many ‘positive’ aspects of choice making that we must take into account when thinking about freedom, she argues, including the resources we have to pursue that choice, possible conflicting desires about it, and an understanding of why we perceive the choice that way in the first place. Not only that, but failing to take into account these positive dimensions to liberty will lead to us ignoring, or perhaps simply not perceiving, how freedom may be limited for groups who have not historically been in power such as women or people of color. The interview gives examples of how a broader conception of freedom may be more able to take into account feminist concerns. The interview ends with Hirschman giving a vision of what a feminist theory of freedom could look like.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter summarizes the main findings of the book. It reflects on what domestic violence reveals about the trajectory of Germany after 1945 and 1990, and about the changing nature of feminism and women's rights during German division. It argues that women, especially feminists, have been important agents of change contributing to the liberalization and democratization of Germany after Nazi defeat. It further queries the co-optation of feminism in Germany, showing it to be essential to the protection of women from domestic violence. But it also shows that popular support for women's rights has racialized and gendered boundaries. Specifically, it reflects critically on the ways feminists have both contested and complied with normative structures of power in the fight for gender equality.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the formation and politics of the new women's movement in West Germany from its emergence out of 1968 and the student movement to the rise of feminist domestic violence activism in the mid-1970s. It explores how the public, politicians, and the media responded to feminist critiques about women's roles and bodies. It particularly focuses on the feminist campaign to decriminalize abortion in the early 1970s. In doing so, it shows that reproductive rights activism had important consequences for later feminist projects, such as the emerging women's shelter campaign. It argues that popular anxieties surrounding feminism and the perceived gender transgressions of women activists, set the stage for the later institutionalization of domestic violence activism.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines what happened after the first women's shelter in West Berlin opened. In particular, it looks at how feminists sought to realize their political aims in the shelter, and how women responded to them. Everyday interactions within the shelter and between activists often served as a reality-check for feminists, as they discovered that ‘battered women’ had their own ideas and opinions about how best to respond to domestic violence. This was both a productive and transformative experience for shelter activists and led to more responsive and differentiated support for survivors of gender-based violence. Focusing on the role of class and race in these interactions and domestic violence work more broadly, this chapter shows how shelter work and feminism evolved in response to challenges from within the women's movement.

Cruz Fuerte, Almudena. "El valor discursivo del vestuario y su plasticidad concomitante en la filmografía de Ulrike Ottiger: Ticket of No Return." In IV Congreso Internacional de Investigación en Artes Visuales. ANIAV 2019. Imagen [N] Visible. Valencia: Universitat Politècnica de València, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/aniav.2019.8987.
Full textAbstract:
La presente propuesta de comunicación gira entorno al indumento como generador de polisemias en la obra de Ulrike Ottinger. A través del vestuario de su obra Ticket of No Return (1979)queremos defender la siguiente hipótesis: la relevancia del vestido como elemento analítico y constructor en las plasticidades contemporáneas. La extensa filmografía de esta cineasta feminista y experimental así lo ejemplifica y da fiel muestra de cómo la vestimenta aporta un lenguaje capaz de simbolizar la metonimia del discurso audiovisual. En Ticket of No Return Ottinger transita, como lo volverá a hacer en otras de sus obras, por la idea del estado capitalista (como entelequia controladora-paternalista), por el culto al alcohol (como la embriaguez narcótica implícita en la sociedad de consumo) y por la noción del viaje (como el origen de la procesión). Y estos tres pilares se construyen ampliamente gracias al vestuario ideado y confeccionado por Tabea Blumenshein, protagonista a su vez de la cinta y que da vida a She, una alcohólica transeúnte del Berlín proto-neoliberal. La suntuosa artificialidad del vestuario de Blumenshein contrapone la silueta onto-capistalista que Dior acuñara en la década de los 50 como New Look, decálogo del sometimiento femenino a unas formas patriarcales y moralizantes, frente a un mordaz decadentismo propulsado por el exceso y la autodestrucción de una advenediza época de sensacionalistas, moralistas, depravad@s y ególatras desquiciad@s. En conclusión, Ticket of No Returnsupone un excelente ejemplo para despejar la [n] propuesta por el congreso, es decir, para visibilizar la capacidad semiótica del traje, su locuacidad visual y su capacidad constructora. Con ello pretendemos dignificar al vestuario, integrándolo en el discurso crítico, académico y artístico, revindicando a su vez su lugar en las producciones audiovisuales, las artes escénicas y el arte performativo.
