Putting Feminism to Work

Theorising Sexual Violence, Trauma and Subjectivity

&lt;div&gt;1.Introduction.- 2. Rape: from ‘normal’ adult sexuality to gendered power and violence.- 3. Sexual assault as trauma: Producing trauma as a feminist knowledge/practice.- 4. From the incest taboo to the ‘adult survivor’: The production of child sexual assault as a feminist issue.- 5. Trauma and the adult survivor.- 6. Male victims, institutional abuse and ‘trauma informed care’.- 7. Conclusion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

In his new book, acclaimed science writer Matt Ridley looks to the peculiar mating rituals of birds to better understand the rich origins and ongoing significance of Darwin's sexual selection theory.'FASCINATING' The Times'Matt Ridley is one of our finest science writers ... A treat for bird lovers and evolutionary biologists alike' Richard DawkinsAnimals rarely treat sex as a simple or mutually beneficial transaction. Choosing a mate is often a transcendent event to be approached with reverence, suspicion, angst and quite a bit of violence. For Matt Ridley, nowhere is this more acute than in birds.From a freezing hide on the Pennine moors at dawn, Ridley closely studies the rare Black Grouse. He is there for the lek - an elaborate courtship ritual of squabbling and strutting males. They dance and sing for hours each day to attract a mate over several months. With most males leaving exhausted and unsuccessful, Ridley looks at how females make their choice to cast fresh light on how such rituals have evolved and why.His pursuit follows five generations of biologists from Darwin and Wallace to the present day, uncovering how they have grappled with the implications of sexual selection as an eccentric, gonzo form of evolution. While most Victorian scientists found it impossible to believe female birds could select mates, Darwin was obsessed with the idea of sexual as well as natural selection.Drawing on his own lifelong passion, Ridley eavesdrops on the elaborate displays of bird species around the world, from the complex art installations made by Bowerbirds in Australia to the bubbling calls of Curlews in the UK's declining moorlands. In a wonderful blend of nature writing and elegant exploration of recent evolutionary theory, Birds, Sex and Beauty shows not only how mate choice has shaped the natural world, including humans, but how the song and plumage of birds can be thrillingly, breathtakingly beautiful.'Clear and entertaining ... Ridley explains all this history with lucidity and wit'New Statesman'Most of this fascinating and accessible book is about birds ... Ridley, very clearly, loves birds - and the enthusiasm is infectious'The Times'This is a fascinating story told with wit, scholarship and the passion of a true conversationist. Lord Ridley writes in the best tradition of great British naturalists' Country Life'Birds, Sex &amp; Beauty is a good read. It is a compelling history of sexual selection, rather than a synthesis that moves the field forwards'Nature

The Extraordinary Implications of Charles Darwin’s Strangest Idea

Birds, Sex and Beauty

Die 80 Kurzbiografien rekonstruieren die Lebensgeschichten Wiener Fürsorgerinnen, ihre Herkunft, Ausbildung, beruflichen Tätigkeiten und Verfolgungserfahrungen. Die portraitierten Frauen wirkten in städtischen, konfessionellen und privaten Einrichtungen. Darunter finden sich Pionierinnen der Profession ebenso wie Grenzgängerinnen, die gesellschaftliche, disziplinäre oder geografische Grenzen überschritten. Sichtbar werden Brüche, wie sie politische Gewalt, Verfolgung, Vertreibung oder Ermordung hinterließen. Basierend auf erstmals ausgewerteten Quellen wie Personalakten, Zeitzeuginnen-interviews und privaten Nachlässen verorten die Biografien individuelle Erfahrungen im historischen Kontext - als Beitrag zur biografischen Grundlagenforschung und Wissensgeschichte Sozialer Arbeit.

Pionierinnen und Grenzgängerinnen der Sozialen Arbeit

Dieses Open-Access-Handbuch umfasst rechtswissenschaftliche und interdisziplinäre Beiträge zu einem Recht der Sorgetätigkeiten und -beziehungen (caring and the law). Bezahlte und unbezahlte Sorgearbeit, sei es Betreuung von Kindern, Pflege oder die Unterstützung von Menschen mit Care-Bedarfen, ist ein aktuelles und umstrittenes Thema auch der Rechts- und Sozialstaatsreform, im nationalen und globalen Kontext. Das Handbuch leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Debatte durch theoretische Grundlegung und Bestandsaufnahme des Status quo der rechtlichen Regulierung von Sorgetätigkeiten und -beziehungen in ausgewählten Rechtsgebieten und Sozialpolitikfeldern. Es eröffnet ein neues rechtswissenschaftliches und interdisziplinäres Forschungsfeld ‚Sorgebeziehungen und Recht‘ mit Bezügen zu Sozialethik, Rechtsphilosophie, den Sozialwissenschaften, Gender Studies und Law in Context-Ansätzen. Ziel ist eine rechtsbereichsübergreifende und interdisziplinäre Analyse im Hinblick auf die Überwindung der fragmentierten Perspektiven auf Care in Teilgebieten des Rechts und der Sozialpolitik.

Caring and the Law

Handbuch Sorgearbeit, Sorgebeziehungen und das Recht

Intergeschlechtlichkeit stellt Medizin, Recht und Bildung vor grundlegende ethische Fragen. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie normative Geschlechterordnungen die Lebenswelten intergeschlechtlicher Menschen prägen und welche Alternativen feministische und queere Ethik eröffnen.

Gender-Ethik und Intergeschlechtlichkeit

Explores how international law is used in public debates, with studies of Australian debates over World War I, the Vietnam War and the 2003 Iraq War. Grounded in international law and socio-legal studies, the argument for popular international law will appeal to audiences in international law, politics, and socio-legal studies.

International Law in Public Debate

'Facing Drag' brings together international experts from cultural studies - including history, media, theatre, dance, and performance studies - to explore how gender, race, and ethnicity are impersonated across time and cultures. Drawing on diverse case studies, the volume examines performative acts of crossing, appropriation, and re-signification, foregrounding their political, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions. Expanding the concept of drag beyond gender bending, it investigates the interrelations of drag, processes of racialization and colonial histories. The essays offer critical insights into both the subversive potential of drag and its entanglement with violent forms of Othering and exclusion.

Critical Criminological Perspectives

This book explores narratives and practices around gender and criminal justice, with a focus on women in Latin America. The chapters are written by academics, policy-making institutions, women with lived experience and activist actors in Latin America. They provide a distinctive analysis of gender and criminal justice in the region, along with the tensions between victimization and agency in women’s paths of criminalization. This book looks at women’s resistance and responses to States’ processes of gender stereotyping and punishment. Ultimately, it showcases women’s collective capacity to shape the security agenda.

Palgrave Advances in Sex Work Studies

This book explores ‘exiting’ programs for sex workers, which are behavioural change interventions that support people to stop selling sex. This book examines questions about how we should conceptualise and respond to ‘exiting’ and, by centring sex workers’ voices, it provides evidence of the impact of these programs. It examines sex work ‘exiting’, not as something sex workers need to stop doing, but as part of sex work careers. Drawing on interviews and a global program review to establish best practice, this book challenges the idea of sex work as something a person is ‘in’ or ‘out’ of. It also explores sex workers’ resistance to this area of programming to highlight the power and politics of ‘exiting’. Using a labour framing and seeing sex work as career, this book repositions ‘exiting’ as career development and sheds new light on everyday working circumstances, popular discourses, policies and programs and grassroots struggles for change. As a co-collaboration incorporating knowledge from researchers and lived experience experts, this book is a unique addition that challenges the dominant abolitionist, anti-sex work framings and is of interest to academics, policy makers, sex worker support organisations and non-government organisations globally.

Reconceptualizing Exiting and Career Development in Sex Work

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book showcases the work of Annapurna Pariwar, an NGO comprising six organizations, over the past 30 years and its impact on changing the lives of low-income working women with small businesses in the slums of Mumbai and Pune in the Indian state of Maharashtra. This group of six organizations together forms a social enterprise, established at a time of major changes in the Indian economy in the form of globalization and urbanization. The NGO set out to address issues of livelihood and poverty alleviation in slums. Adopting a path that was sustainable and did not depend upon grants, the journey is a fascinating account of learnings in organizational evolution and its impact on the lives of poor women.The book is divided into two parts. The first part has three chapters charting the journey of Annapurna Pariwar based on interviews with Medha Tai, the founder of Annapurna Pariwar. These chapters discuss milestones, organizational evolution, and challenges, especially demonetization and COVID-19. The lifecycle of the organization and of the women in the case studies are juxtaposed within the framework of financial, physical, sociocultural, and political spaces. The second part of the book contains analyses from well-known authors and academics who contextualize the relevance of Annapurna Pariwar’s work and future against microfinance, microinsurance, plus services, social entrepreneurship, digitization, and urban landscapes. The book thus contributes not only to the practice-field; it has several academic contributions as well for researchers studying social phenomena such as social entrepreneurship, microfinance, cooperatives, women empowerment, and women entrepreneurship. While doing so, it addresses SDGs such as SDG3, SDG5, SDG8, and SDG11. The book is for a wide audience, comprising social entrepreneurs in the field of social development, microfinance, and microinsurance. It is of relevance to business schools and educational institutions which offer courses on social entrepreneurship and development studies.

The Langham Afternoon Tea Book

"Queerness" steht im Zentrum erbitterter Kulturkämpfe. So hat es nach Jahrzehnten großer Erfolge manchmal den Anschein, als wären wir auf uns selbst zurückgeworfen. Was bedeutet unter diesen Bedingungen "Queerpolitik", was kann und sollte sie leisten? Wo findet sie statt? Und für wen und mit wem muss sie kämpfen? In diesem Essay schaut Klaus Lederer erst zurück, doch es geht auch darum, anhand des Wegs der vergangenen drei Jahrzehnte einen entschlossenen Blick nach vorne zu werfen.

Ein Blick zurück, ein Blick nach vorne

Queerpolitik im Handgemenge

A feminist utopia crumbles with one impossible birth. 
On an isolated mountaintop, a small feminist community is fracturing under the weight of ideological divides and dwindling numbers. Mila struggles to hold the women together, while deeper in the bush her aunt Frank - an ailing recluse - lives with only her dog, Chicken Midnight, for company. Nearby, an orchid endling approaches its own death, and the extinction of its entire species.
As Frank grows increasingly unwell and secretive about her condition, the community women begin mysteriously falling pregnant. When Mila gives birth to the only boy, their hardline separatist ideals face an impossible test. Vividly expressed, wildly funny, and wholly original, The Endling examines the volatile intersection of community and politics, exploring what happens when the borders we construct between species, between sexes, between self and world prove more porous than we imagine.
