  Queer Phenomenology: Orientations, Objects, Others , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min

  In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry.Ahmed proposes that a queer phenomenology might investigate not only how the concept of orientation is informed by phenomenology but also the orientation of phenomenology itself. Thus she reflects on the significance of the objects that appear - and those that do not - as signs of orientation in classic phenomenological texts such as Husserl’s Ideas. In developing a queer model of orientations, she combines readings of phenomenological texts - by Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon - with insights drawn from queer studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. Queer Phenomenology points queer theory in bold new directions. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Valliere.

• Intersektionaler Feminismus in Rumänien

  Im Mittelpunt des Buches steht der intersektionale Feminismus, der mit unterschiedlichsten Konzepten die soziale Diversität in Hinblick auf Geschlecht, Ethnie, Alter und Weltanschauung. Spiegelt. In Rumänien ist die Auseinandersetzung mit der feministischen Kunst bezüglich Gender und Sexualität in vollem Gange. Die Künstlerinnen beschäftigen sich mit der weiblichen Identität sowie mit den kollektiven Erfahrungen von Frauen und setzen sich mit konventionellen Geschlechterkonstruktionen und Kunstnormen auseinander. Die feministische, rumänische Gegenwartskunst fragt nach den sozialen, historischen, ökonomischen und vergeschlechtlichten Machtverhältnissen, Ungleichheiten und Diskriminierungen von Frauen im Kunstsystem. Die rumänischen queer-feministische Künstlerinnen behandeln eine große Bandbreite aktueller Themen: Ungleichheit, Macht und Gewalt, Vorstellungen von Weiblichkeit und Identität allgemein, von Intersektionalität oder Queerness. Dazu bedienen sie sich klassischer und traditioneller ästhetischer Formen und Strategien, aber vermehrt auch neuer (Kunst-)Formen: Genderperformances, etwa in Form von Geschlechter -Parodie, Maskerade oder Cross-Dressing, Reenactments, Inszenierungen von Körpern.

  Broke the Bread, Spilled the Tea (eBook, ePUB)

  What do you do when your identity directly contradicts your faith?The Christian Church has long been one of the most influential institutions in society. Self-proclaimed as God's representatives on earth, it is ironic to see how a faith of love and inclusion has been the source of wars, genocides, slavery, and oppression throughout the ages. In an era of misinformation and blind faith, maybe it's time to take a closer look at the Bible and "judge by the fruits" of what is real and what is not. Broke the Bread, Spilled the Tea aims to explore one of Christianity's most marginalized groups and breaks down exactly what the Bible says about queerness through a contextual, historical, and lexicological lens. Bridging the gap between identity and faith is possible when we conclude that perhaps the God preached on the Sunday pulpits isn't the fullness of who He actually is.From an author deep in the trenches,I've broken the bread,it's time to spill the tea.

  Swollening (eBook, ePUB)

  Jason Purcell's debut collection of poems rests at the intersection of queerness and illness, staking a place for the queer body that has been made sick through living in this world. Part poetic experiment and part memoir, Swollening attempts to diagnose what has been undiagnosable, tracing an uneven path from a lifetime of swallowing bad feelings-homophobia in its external and internalized manifestations, heteronormativity, anxiety surrounding desire, aversion to sex-to a body in revolt. In poems that speak using the grammar and logics of sickness, Purcell offers a dizzying collision of word and image that is the language of pain alongside the banality of living on. Beginning by reading his own life and body closely and slowly zooming out to read illness in the world, Purcell comes to ask: how might a sick, queer body forgive itself for a natural reaction to living in a sick world and go on toward hope? In Swollening, Purcell coughs up his own poetics of illness, his own aesthetics of pain, to form a tender collection that lands straight in the gut.

  The Routledge Handbook of Queer Rhetoric (eBook, ePUB)

  The Routledge Handbook of Queer Rhetoric maps the ongoing becoming of queer rhetoric in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, offering a dynamic overview of the history of and scholarly research in this field. The handbook features rhetorical scholarship that explicitly uses and extends insights from work in queer and trans theories to understand and critique intersections of rhetoric, gender, class, and sexuality. More important, chapters also attend to the intersections of constructs of queerness with race, class, ability, and neurodiversity. In so doing, the book acknowledges the many debts contemporary queer theory has to work by scholars of color, feminists, and activists, inside and outside the academy. The first book of its kind, the handbook traces and documents the emergence of this subfield within rhetorical studies while also pointing the way toward new lines of inquiry, new trajectories in scholarship, and new modalities and methods of analysis, critique, intervention, and speculation. This handbook is an invaluable resource for scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students studying rhetoric, communication, cultural studies, and queer studies.

  Thomas Meinecke

  Romancier, Musiker, DJ, Journalist, Radio-Moderator und Produzent von Hörspielen: Thomas Meinecke - zuletzt ausgezeichnet mit dem Berliner Literaturpreis (2020) - ist so vielseitig wie kaum ein Schriftsteller der Gegenwart.Romane wie "The Church of John F. Kennedy", "Tomboy", "Lookalikes" oder "Selbst" spannen ein dynamisches, diskursives Netz, das neue Welten aus disparaten Fragmenten aufscheinen lässt. Sie provozieren, weil sie konventionelle Gattungsmuster und Kulturtechniken, gesellschaftliche Normen und geläufige Dichotomien unterlaufen. Ihre 'ozeanische' Ästhetik erweitert das popkulturelle Universum, verbindet Sounds der Popmusik mit Theologie, Ethnografie, Psychoanalyse und Queerness, verwebt schöne Literatur mit 'schöner Theorie'. Meineckes so virtuose wie spielerische Bewegung zwischen High und Low macht ihn zum zentralen Autor der Gegenwartsliteratur, der einen produktiven Diskurs um die Frage von Autorschaft anregt, was sich nicht zuletzt in seinen Poetik-Dozenturen bisher u. a. in Frankfurt, Köln und Berlin niederschlägt.Die Beiträge des Heftes loten die poetologisch-theoretische Matrix und materielle Basis von Meineckes vielschichtigem Werk aus. Sie fragen nach dem Verhältnis von Intertextualität und Plagiat, widmen sich seiner Bibliomanie, Musikaffinität und Gegenwartsemphase, fokussieren die popkulturelle Oberflächenästhetik, erzählerische Ethik und mittelalterliche Mystik.
