In der sporthistorischen Literatur besteht Konsens, dass es sich beim „Spiel mit dem runden Leder” um eine Repräsentationsform „hegemonialer Männlichkeit” handelt. Wegweisend hierfür sind kulturelle Sinn-, Wert- und Funktionszuschreibungen des Fußballs als Kampf- und Mannschaftssport, für dessen Propagierung das Militär wichtige Schrittmacherdienste leistet.

Das seit dem 19. Jahrhundert am Leitbild des Soldaten modellierte Männlichkeitsideal (weiterlesen …)

Body and Textuality Research Group (Web)

Time: 30.11.-03.12.2010
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Event website

In the 21st century, the body is all but a certainty, and raises endless questions: How do we live in the body that we are / we have? How does it represent us, and to what extent?How does it become readable, understandable? What does it tell? What can it say and what can’t it say? Who or what does it say from? How can I get involved in what the body I am / I have says or represents ? Does my body belong to me or do I belong to it? Is this a relationship of belonging, or rather of participation without belonging? Which is the power of my body? What are the categories that hide or reveal it? What is the body?

These questions invite us to (weiterlesen …)

Revue Recherches féministes et des Cahiers du genre (Web); sous la direction d’Anne-Marie Devreux (Cahiers du genre) et Diane Lamoureux (Recherches féministes)

Le développement des féminismes s’est historiquement accompagné de celui des antiféminismes. Tout comme le féminisme prend plusieurs formes, l’antiféminisme se présente en effet sous divers aspects, d’où le titre provisoire «Les antiféminismes». Ce numéro commun de la revue québécoise Recherches féministes et de la revue française Cahiers du genre, nous souhaitons faire apparaître l’antiféminisme sous ses différentes facettes, les multiples niveaux où il opère dans les sociétés contemporaines ou passées, et voir s’il convient d’en parler comme discours et mouvement cohérents ou comme pratiques et idéologies parcellaires.

La sociologie des mouvements sociaux et celle des rapports sociaux de sexe s’intéressent de plus en plus aux contre-mouvements et aux réactions. (weiterlesen …)

Were there international exchanges of speakers or women’s groups organized around March 8?

In addition to the overarching international theme, what were the national dimensions (weiterlesen …)
