        Lust

        Fuckability, orgasm gap and #metoo

        by Henriette Hell

        Lust, a mortal sin? These times are over. In today's public perception, it is more likely for a boring sex life to be categorised as that. In statistical terms, people have never had as little sex with each other as they do today. And yet tips for a good sex life are to be found on every (digital) corner. Sex has mutated into a lifestyle product, and terms like 'fuckability' and 'MILF' trip lightly off our tongues. Henriette Hell takes a closer look at the thing about sex. She traces the history and genesis of 'sexual liberation', and sheds light on the 'cheating gene' and the #metoo debate. The author asks (and answers) the question of whether sex is becoming more and more antisocial and what actually still turns us on today. In doing so, she focuses on the former mortal sin of lust, which is inseparably linked to the systematic suppression of female lust (and its liberation).

        Das Gespräch der Geschlechter

        Eine Philosophie der Zustimmung

        by Manon Garcia, Andrea Hemminger

        Seit der #MeToo-Bewegung steht die Frage der sexuellen Gewalt im Zentrum der Debatten über Geschlechtergerechtigkeit. Sexuelle Zustimmung gilt vielen als Zauberformel für die Gleichberechtigung von Frauen und Männern. Zugleich ist sie notorisch schwer zu definieren und wirft zahlreiche Probleme auf, wie die Philosophin Manon Garcia in ihrer meisterhaften Analyse zeigt. Sie taucht tief ein in unser philosophisches Erbe sowie die liberale Tradition und legt deren Grenzen offen. Drei Probleme der Philosophie der Zustimmung macht Garcia aus: ein rechtliches, ein moralisches und ein politisches. Was muss getan werden, damit sexuelle Übergriffe und sexuelle Belästigung wirksam bestraft werden? Wie kann man sich Liebes- und Sexualbeziehungen vorstellen, die nicht auf sexistischen sozialen Normen beruhen? Und wie können wir verhindern, dass die geschlechtsspezifischen Ungerechtigkeiten, die sich in Liebes- und Sexualbeziehungen manifestieren, fortgeschrieben werden? Von John Locke und John Stuart Mill über feministische Theoretikerinnen bis hin zu Michel Foucault und den Praktiken des BDSM zeichnet dieses Buch eine neue politische Kartografie unserer privaten Leben. Fazit für das zukünftige Gespräch der Geschlechter: Wir müssen lernen, die »Gleichheit zu erotisieren«, nicht die Herrschaft.

        Today Is a Good Day to Abolish the Patriarchy

        by Bettina Schulte (ed.)

        Do we still need feminism in Europe? Equality or difference feminism? A new generation of feminists has now broken away from the feminism of the 1960s. The old white Cis man has been discredited, by the "#MeToo" movement at the latest. Sexualised violence against women has been outlawed, perpetrators taken to court. So everything’s good? No, of course not. Men still dominate public discourse; men are unchallenged in leadership positions in politics, society and business; male power still prevails in the domestic environment as well. The extent to which men fight back when they feel threatened by feminism is also evident in the revival of authoritarian nationalist politicians in Europe and around the world. The seven authors shed light on feminist struggles in different areas of life, and illustrate the range of feminism today.

        SEX CULTURE

        What is sex? Or: why don't we just let it be?

        by Bettina Stangneth

        Above all else, and despite all the enlightenment of the age, sex in the 21st century seems to be a problem. Abuse, MeToo, human trafficking, circumcision, role-playing, body cult... But if sex is a mere abyss for modern humans, then why not just let it be? We are the first generation that could actually do it without endangering the survival of the species. And voices are getting louder that once again call for abstinence in a supposedly over-sexualised society. Artificial insemination and artificially intelligent technology for the safe removal of instincts should finally pacify what humans cannot control: instinctive nature. Sex is not the epitome of our animal nature. Every attempt to control the animal in us, either by taming it or by freeing it from tamers in a sexual revolution, inevitably misses the point. Bettina Stangneth asks the quite simple question: what is sex? If every culture of prohibition has failed so far, clearer ideas are obviously needed. Even if we prefer to ignore it, attempts to establish a culture through desire instead of the cultivation of desire have been around for a long time. After all, if you don't want to learn to talk positively about sex, you can't talk meaningfully about coercion and violence.

        52 wahre Heldinnen

        by Mackenzi Lee, Jenny Merling

        Die Weltgeschichte kennt kaum Heldinnen, meint man(n). Ist aber Quatsch. Denn das, was als Weltgeschichte gilt, wird von alten, weißen Männern entschieden. Und die haben ein Faible für ihresgleichen. Oder schon mal von der mächtigsten Verbrecherkönigin New Yorks gehört? Oder der russischen self-made Panzerkommandeurin auf Nazi-Jagd? Von der Jiu-Jitsu-Suffragette, der gefährlichsten Piratin der Weltmeere, der … nein? Komisch. Dieses Buch versammelt 52 sagenhafte Heldinnen und ihre wahren Geschichten – actionreich, informativ und ein schillernder Appell an alle Frauen, nie an der eigenen Großartigkeit zu zweifeln.

        Cancel Culture Transfer

        Wie eine moralische Panik die Welt erfasst | Das Phänomen »Cancel Culture« verstehen

        by Adrian Daub

        Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa, ja in der ganzen Welt – das Gespenst der Cancel Culture. Glaubt man diversen Zeitungen, dürfen insbesondere weiße Männer jenseits der vierzig praktisch nichts mehr sagen, wenn sie nicht ihren guten Ruf oder gar ihren Job riskieren wollen. Ist da etwas dran? Oder handelt es sich häufig um Panikmache, bei der Aktivist:innen zu einer Gefahr für die moralische Ordnung stilisiert werden, um ihre berechtigten Anliegen zu diskreditieren? Der Ursprung der Cancel Culture wird üblicherweise an US-Universitäten verortet. Adrian Daub lehrt im kalifornischen Stanford Literaturwissenschaft. Er zeigt, wie während der Reagan-Jahre entwickelte Deutungsmuster über Campus-Romane verbreitet und auf die Gesellschaft insgesamt übertragen wurden. Man pickt einige wenige Anekdoten heraus und reicht sie herum, was auch hierzulande zu einer verzerrten Wahrnehmung führt. Anhand quantitativer Analysen zeichnet Daub nach, wie diese Diagnosen immer weitere Kreise zogen, bis sie auch die Twitter-Kanäle deutscher Politiker erfassten.

        Wie frei ist die Kunst?

        Der neue Kulturkampf und die Krise des Liberalismus

        by Hanno Rauterberg

        Gemälde werden abgehängt, Skulpturen vernichtet, Filmhelden ausradiert: Ein heftiger Kulturkampf durchzieht die Museen, Kinos und Theater. Sogar ein Gedicht wird übermalt. Droht das Ende der Kunstfreiheit, wie manche sagen? Eine Zensur von unten? Oder ist es höchste Zeit, wie andere meinen, dass die Kulturwelt der Metoo-Bewegung folgt und mehr Gleichheit einklagt? Hanno Rauterberg zeigt, was sich hinter der Debatte um Moral und Ästhetik verbirgt: Warum wirken Bilder so bedrohlich? Gefährdet politische Korrektheit die Autonomie der Künstler? Und wieso streiten wir gerade heute über diese Fragen? Ein Essay über die wichtigste Kunstdebatte seit Langem, die viel verrät über die Krise des Liberalismus und die neuen Tabus einer sich wandelnden Gesellschaft.

        Fired Up about Consent

        by Sarah Ratchford

        Fired Up about Consent is a practical, survivor-informed primer for young people who want to learn how to build joyful, mutually satisfying sex lives and relationships. Sarah Ratchford defines rape and sexual assault, busts the myths behind toothless messaging and outdated advice, and provides sex-positive scripts on how to ask for and offer a clear, enthusiastic, and freely given “Yes!” Along the way, Ratchford touches on topics such as #MeToo, gender identity, masturbation, virginity, porn, sex work, reporting assault, and more, all through a radically inclusive and intersectional lens. The message is loud and clear: not only is consent sexy, it’s mandatory—and everyone deserves frank and empowering literacy around it. Only with empathy, compassion, and resistance can we move forward into a new culture of consent.

        Jesus and Women

        Beyond Feminism

        by Niamh Middleton

        In Jesus and Women, Niamh Middleton combines insights from evolutionary biology, feminism and the #MeToo movement to highlight the revolutionary attitude of Jesus towards women. Her careful exegesis, comparing the treatment and depiction of women in the Old and New Testaments, illuminates the way forward for the treatment of women by Church and society. More importantly, however, it holds the potential to greatly enrich our understanding of Jesus’ divinity. Middleton’s bold approach encourages Christian women to reclaim their religion as a tool for empowerment, correcting the regressive course that Christianity has taken in this regard since Roman times. She also cites the remarkable life and untimely death of Western heroine Diana, Princess of Wales as an archetypal example of why Christianity must be reclaimed by its female members. Above all, she powerfully argues that while political feminism can tackle the symptoms of the perennial ‘battle of the sexes’, only a revolution of grace can bring about a full restoration of the harmony between the sexes described in Genesis.

        Losing Skin

        Novella

        by Regina Dürig

        A special recommendation of the editors of New Books in German: Over the last few years, the once niche genre of the verse novel has gained exponentially in popularity, from the success of Max Porter’s Grief is the Thing with Feathers and Sarah Crossan’s One to Robin Robertson’s Booker win with The Long Take. Regina Dürig’s Losing Skin is a valuable addition to this growing genre, exploring themes closely connected with the Everyday Sexism and #metoo movements.  Each chapter in Losing Skin dips into a different scene from the life of a woman growing up in the present day, with the book spanning her life from the ages of four to thirty-eight. The reader never discovers the woman’s name; the book is narrated in the second person and she is only ever »you«. In the early chapters of the book, »you« manipulate or are manipulated by your parents, who want you to play with a child you do not know, to eat things you do not like and hold you responsible for things that are not your fault. As a teenager, you are often embarrassed – for example when your mother suggests you show your father your new bra. When a boy jokingly tips you into a dustbin at school you are mortified, but think that perhaps you deserve it: you once corrected his love-letters and sent them back to him. The humiliations are familiar and uncomfortable. A doctor’s suggestion, when you are fourteen, that you join a sports team to learn to »withstand a little pain« anticipates the darker events that are to come. As you grow older, you find yourself in situations where men repeatedly sideline or take advantage of you. Your boss tells you that women cannot write about football; a male colleague is questioned by friends about a topic on which you are the expert. There is unwanted sex with a friend’s friend, a rape in your parents’ holiday villa and an implied gang rape on the way home from a friend’s birthday party; these events seem avoidable, yet nonetheless outwith your control. They are accompanied by more subtle unkindnesses. In the final climactic scene, in a discussion between friends about sex and consent, a girlfriend points at each woman in turn, asking whether they have ever been raped. Nobody admits it, not even »you« and the reader cannot help but feel let down. Despite the sometimes harrowing subject matter, this is a deeply satisfying read, told with great economy of language. At a time when casual violence against women and minorities is very much in the news, Losing Ground is a necessary contribution to a timely debate.

        Right Guy, Wrong Time

        A #MeToo Love Story

        by Louise MacGregor

        Edie has what seems like an almost-perfect life: awesome friends, a comfortable apartment she shares with the world’s greatest cat, and a dream job as a record label talent scout. But all is not what it seems. Conflicts are heating up in her life and at work, and things take a serious turn for the worse when she is raped while on a date. Navigating pleasure, work, friends, and her forever-changed mental state after her assault is hard enough. But when the perfect guy turns up at the worst possible time, Edie has to figure out what romance and sex mean to her in the aftermath of rape. This offbeat feminist romance moves beyond “girl meets guy,” dealing empathetically with sexual dysfunction, the ubiquity of rape culture, and what recovery can look like in the #MeToo era.Although it tackles a difficult subject, Right Guy, Wrong Time does so in a way that empowers the reader. The protagonist of this New Adult novel is a relatable character who in many ways provides a good role model for others.​Categories: New Adult, Chick Lit, Women's Fiction, Romance

        Digital Technology and Democratic Theory

        by Bernholz, Landemore

        One of the most far-reaching transformations in our era is the wave of digital technologies rolling over—and upending—nearly every aspect of life. Work and leisure, family and friendship, community and citizenship—all transformed by now-ubiquitous digital tools and platforms. Digital Technology and Democratic Theory explores a particularly unsettling and rapidly evolving facet of our new digital lives: transformations that affect our lives as citizens and participants in democratic governments. To understand these transformations, scholars from multiple disciplines (computer science, philosophy, political science, economics, history, and media and communications/journalism) wrestle with the question of how digital technologies shape, reshape, and affect fundamental questions about democracy and democratic theory. The contributors consider what democratic theory—broadly defined as normative theorizing about the values and institutional design of democracy—can bring to the practice of digital technologies. From the connectivity and transmission of information that has inspired positive change through movements such as the Arab Spring and #MeToo to the nefarious spread of distrust and outright disruption in democratic processes, this volume broaches the most pressing technological changes and issues facing not just individual states, but democracy as a philosophy and institution.
