      Tensions in the struggle for sexual minority rights in Europe

      Tensions in the struggle for sexual minority rights in Europe

      Que(e)rying political practices

      by Nico Beger

      Tensions in the struggle for sexual minority rights in Europe, newly available in paperback, is the first queer and poststructuralist reading of political rights concepts in the specific European transnational context. In the last thirty years Europe has seen the rise of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender movements fighting nationally and transnationally for participation rights in society. In addition academic theorists have increasingly paid attention to the epistemological and ontological roles gender and sexuality play in modern politics. However, in the political process of arguing for rights the centrality of those roles is mostly hidden from view in official institutional and movement discourses. This book investigates the conceptual themes of lesbian, gay and transgender rights and lobby politics in Europe and their open and hidden relations to binary and hierarchical orders of dominance. It contributes to an understanding of the conditions upon which politics of inclusion, participation, social justice and equality rest and why struggles for sexual minority rights have been so difficult and slow. It illuminates how the paradigms of political discourse constitute, consolidate and contest the meaning and cultural significance of gender and sexuality on modern, democratic, capitalist European societies. ;

      Rilkes Sternenfrauen

      by Ursula Voß

      Rainer Maria Rilke war äußerlich kein schöner Mann, doch suchten Frauen unterschiedlichen Standes, Alters und Lebensstils immer wieder seine Nähe. Faszinierend wirkten nicht nur sein seelenvoller Blick und seine androgyne Zartheit, sondern vor allem seine Fähigkeit, die Wirklichkeit auf eine unbekannte Art aufzunehmen und dem nicht allein in seiner Dichtung, sondern auch im persönlichen Umgang Ausdruck zu geben. Ursula Voß erkennt im Spiegel des weiblichen Blicks auf Rilke viele neue Facetten des Dichters und setzt zugleich den Frauen, die ihn inspiriert und gefördert haben und sich von ihm inspirieren ließen – seien es Freundinnen, Gefährtinnen, Geliebte und Gönnerinnen –, mit diesem Buch ein eindrucksvolles Denkmal.

      Straight nation

      Heteronormativity and other exigencies of postcolonial nationalism

      by Pavan Mano

      In Straight Nation, Pavan Mano reveals the logic of straightness that sits at the heart of postcolonial nationalism in Singapore. Mano rejects the romantic notion of the nation as a haven of belonging, showing it to be a relentless force that is allied with heteronormativity to create a host of minoritized and xenologized figures. Through meticulous exploration and close reading of a swathe of texts, Mano unveils the instrumental role of sexuality in structuring the national imaginary. The book adroitly demonstrates how queerness is rendered foreign in postcolonial Singapore and functions alongside technologies of "race", gender, and class. A provocative critique of narrow contemporary identity politics and its concomitant stymying of a more ambitious political critique, Straight Nation sets out an argument that moves beyond the negativity of traditional critique into a space of (re)thinking, (re)building and (re)imagining.
