India Studies in Business and Economics

This book consisting of 24 chapters provides a comprehensive analysis of the complexities of women’s work in India. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary data sources it offers fresh perspectives on long-term patterns and emerging trends. It sheds light on trends in gender equality in employment, the stubbornly low Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR), the continued invisibility of women’s work, and the shortcomings of official labour force surveys in capturing women’s economic contributions. It also explores gendered labour market barriers linked to caregiving responsibilities, social group identities, and the high unemployment rates among educated women. Several chapters address persistent issues of discrimination and inequality, including how rising educational attainment among women has shaped labour market outcomes.
It critically assesses the growing sectors of childcare and gig work, often viewed as potential pathways to better-paid employment for women, highlighting both their opportunities and limitations. Further, the book provides the policy measures required to enhance women’s labour participation; challenges specific to urban contexts and key policies related to public employment and social protection for women.
This volume is a valuable resource for researchers, civil society organisations, development practitioners, and policymakers working on women’s employment. It is equally relevant for educators and students in gender studies, labour economics, employment research, and development studies.

Women and Work in India: Challenges, Opportunities and Perspectives for Policy

'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.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book examines the long-term dynamics of urban labour market behaviour of women and men over three and a half decades, spanning the period from 1987-88 to 2023-24. It provides a detailed understanding of the topic by incorporating data and information that cover both the supply and demand sides of the labour market. The book distinguishes itself from similar studies by adopting a life-cycle approach for women so as to enable a holistic coverage of various dimensions that hamper or facilitate their economic participation at every stage of life. It examines the gender differences in labour market behaviour and outcomes of young graduate women, married working age women, as well as elderly women. It also undertakes a time-use analysis for understanding the impact of education on gender differences in the distribution of unpaid domestic responsibilities among adolescent girls and boys. Likewise, among the married women fully engaged in household work, the book explores the potential for their integration into the labour force if employment opportunities are accessible at their household. Combining quantitative analysis of secondary datasets with qualitative analysis of primary survey interviews, this study provides an evidence-based depiction of gendered labour market realities and the policy approach to address them. The qualitative approach uses narrative-building to capture the lived experiences of women and men employed in the public transport and sanitation sectors. This book will serve as an important resource for understanding of female labour market by researchers, scholars, policymakers, practitioners, NGOs, and students of gender and labour studies.

Real Dolls versprechen intime Körperlichkeit ohne lebendige Gegenüber und oszillieren zwischen technikethischen Fantasien und realem Begehren. Mark Bibbert vergleicht die Antizipation künftiger Sexroboter mit empirisch begründeten Nutzungsgefügen hyperrealistischer Sexpuppen. Intimitäts¿, Hobby¿ und Lust-Gefüge verknüpfen materielle, affektive, diskursive und biografische Elemente zu je eigenen Formen anthropomorpher Echtheit, Sex und Intimität. Eine durch den Nonhuman Turn reformulierte Situationsanalyse erschließt diese Gefüge, macht sichtbar, wo gängige Kritikmuster aktuelle Nutzungsweisen verfehlen, und formuliert eine Kritik jenseits technikethischer Determinismen.

Methoden in den Gender Studies

This volume tackles the pressing issue of online violence against academics, considering the diverse forms that cyberbullying and harassment can take, as well as their likely targets. Offering both theorizations of the phenomenon and a series of empirical case studies, it maps out possible countermeasures for creating a more resilient academic environment.The collection not only identifies the types of attacks and likely targets but also offers practical, evidence-based countermeasures to mitigate online violence. It fills a crucial gap in scholarship by exploring the intersections of online violence, gender, and minority experiences within the academic realm. Its unique contribution lies in its synthesis of empirical research, personal narratives, and practical recommendations, providing readers with a holistic understanding of the issue and moving beyond mere documentation to actively engage with the pressing question of how academia can foster a more inclusive and resilient environment.It will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in the sociology of work, scholarly careers, the challenges facing social researchers and issues of academic freedom.

New Perspectives on Global Gender-Based Violence

Following the Asian economic crisis of the 1990s, this is the first book to examine the structure and transformation of the labor markets and social stratification of contemporary East Asia, namely Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China, focusing in particular on gender inequality. It deals with social mobility and gender differences in unemployment, temporary employment and self-employment. Additionally, gender segregation, social identity and suicide rates are also addressed. Taken together, the issues raised in this volume reinforce the advantage of a comparative approach to East Asian Studies. The findings, supported by strong statistical analysis, clearly call into question a longstanding view that East Asian gender regimes and class structure are homogeneous. Indeed, this is demonstrably not the case, as Labor Markets, Gender and Social Stratification in East Asia shows, revealing as it does considerable diversities in labor markets, gender regimes, and social mobility within East Asian societies due to historical and institutional differences. Contributors include: Chang Chin-Fen, Kim Young-Mi, Oda Akiko, Phang Hanam, Sakaguchi Yusuke, Shibata Haruka, Takamatsu Rie, Takenoshita Hirohisa, Tarohmaru Hiroshi, Xie Guihua, and Yamato Reiko.

Transidentitas e.V. zählt zu den frühen Organisationsformen transpolitischer Selbsthilfe in der Bundesrepublik. Dieses wissenschaftliche Fachbuch untersucht Entstehung, Strukturen und Handlungsspielräume des Vereins und rekonstruiert seine Rolle innerhalb regionaler und überregionaler Netzwerke. Im Zentrum stehen Akteurinnen, Kommunikationswege und Medienpraktiken - von internen Rundbriefen und Vereinsheften bis zur Beziehung zu zeitgenössischen Initiativen und Verbänden. Die Analyse verbindet mikrohistorische Vereinsgeschichte mit zeithistorischer Kontextualisierung: Entwicklungen im Transsexuellengesetz, medizinische Begutachtungspraxen, AIDS-Krise, neue soziale Bewegungen und mediale Repräsentationen werden als Bedingungen von Mobilisierung und Sichtbarkeit diskutiert. Methodisch basiert das Buch auf Quellenkritik, Archivrecherche und oral history; sie macht zugleich die Grenzen der Überlieferung transparent. So entsteht eine fundierte Darstellung, die Transidentitas nicht als isoliertes Phänomen, sondern als Knotenpunkt eines sich wandelnden Feldes von Selbstorganisation, Wissensproduktion und Politik begreift

Sophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures

In this book, researchers of and representatives from various world religions contribute to the scholarship on the moral justification and future orientation of today’s capitalism. The book is inspired by the sociologist Max Weber, who initiated an impressive research project on the ‘Economic Ethics of the World Religions’, discussing Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam. In this volume, the authors ask what from within the perspective of these religions themselves would be said today about capitalism in free markets. This text appeals to students and researchers working and interested in questions related to culture &amp; economy, comparative religion and the economics of religion.

Gender, Justice and Legal Feminism

The edited volume aims at presenting the various forms of stereotyping. As a matter of fact, such logical inclination is not only perpetrated through common sense and public discourse, but also through regulation and various ethical practices. Law and politics, indeed, can have a relevant function in preventing the diffusion of bad and wrong gender stereotypes.

The edited volume aims at presenting the various forms of stereotyping. As a matter of fact, such logical inclination is not only perpetrated through common sense and public discourse, but also through regulation and various ethical practices. Law and politics, indeed, can have a relevant function in preventing the diffusion of bad and wrong gender stereotypes.&nbsp;"Stereotypes have been and remain a notion central to feminist/ gender inquiry. This edited volume brings forth original perspectives from a wide range of scholars from multiple and diverse angles. The editors, Condello and Wagner, distinguish between the frameworks of mythos, logos and nomos to show how stereotypes are entrenched in cultural narratives, normative systems and language. Authors in the volume explore how stereotypes influence policy, cultural norms and personal identity causing discrimination and exclusion. The volume aptly underscores the importance of recognizing how race, class, ethnicity, religion amongst other identities intersect with power and play out in areas like the media, education and law.&nbsp; The various chapters reflect on the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to make sense of the persistence of stereotypes. The focus falls for example on gender stereotypes in the city; in textbooks, in criminal law, in the Bildungsroman and in various religious settings.The volume will be an essential read for anyone concerned about the world as it is trying to make sense of the pervasiveness and endurance of gender injustice. Judith Butler, in her latest work invokes the idea of ‘phantasm’ to illustrate how conservatives and reactionaries from various places have created fears to justify censorship, discrimination and injustice. The various takes on stereotypes in the volume highlights the role they play in putting this ‘phantasm’ to work.The chapters included here not only expose gender stereotypes and their entanglement with suffering and injustice but it also challenges us to think about and work towards alternatives. It beckons us to put our imaginaries to work, in the words of the editors, to ‘reimagine the world not as it is, but as it could be’."Karin van Marle, Research Chair Gender, Transformation, Worldmaking, University of the Western Cape

Gender Stereotypes

Dirty Dragging ist dem unberechenbaren, nomadischen Mitschleppen gewidmet und reformuliert queertheoretische Fragen aus transozeanischer Perspektive. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Ambivalenz ¿dreckiger¿ Auftrittsformen von Drag über Karneval bis zur Propaganda in politischen Gewaltzusammenhängen: unter Apartheid, NS und Jim Crow-Segregation. Evelyn Annuß erweitert die Lektüre von Gender Bending um Perspektiven auf Blackface und ¿racialized Drag¿. Entsprechend fragt Dirty Dragging sowohl nach gewaltförmigen, lokal spezifischen Mobilisierungen des Transgressiven als auch danach, wie wie sich queere und kreolisierte Formen performativen Widerstreits gegen identitäre Trennungen verschränken. So erinnert das Buch vor dem Hintergrund gegenwärtigen rechtsautoritären Abdriftens zugleich an das potenzielle Glück, die Verhältnisse kollektiv zum Tanzen zu bringen.
