Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2010Shaping a global women's agenda: women's NGOs and global governance, 1925–85
by Karen Garner
Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, Karen Garner documents international women's history through the lens of the long-established Western-led international organisations that defined and dominated women's involvement in global politics from the 1925 founding of the Joint Standing Committee of Women's International Organisations up through the UN Decade for Women (1976-85). Documenting specific global campaigns in episodes that span the twentieth century, Garner includes biographical information about lesser known international leaders as she discusses important historic debates regarding feminist goals and strategies among women from the East and West, North and South. This interdisciplinary study addresses questions of interest to historians, political scientists, international relations scholars, sociologists, and feminist scholars and activists whose work promotes women's and human rights. ;

Jahrhundertfrauen erzählen aus ihrem Leben
by Ute Karen Seggelke
Zwanzig »Jahrhundertfrauen« erzählen die Geschichte ihres Lebens: Was hat ihnen die Kraft gegeben, in schweren Zeiten durchzuhalten und immer wieder das Glück zu suchen? Ute Karen Seggelke stellt in Text- und Bildporträts charakterstarke Frauen und deren erstaunliche Lebensgeschichten vor. Ob prominent oder unbekannt, was uns die Bildhauerin, Gärtnerin, Schauspielerin, Dramaturgin, Übersetzerin, Kauffrau, Politikerin, Restauratorin, Karikaturistin oder Äbtissin in diesem Buch erzählen, lesen wir mit Bewunderung, denn die Lebenswege dieser »Jahrhundertfrauen« machen uns Mut, alt zu werden.

March 2012Agentieller Realismus
by Karen Barad, Jürgen Schröder
Mit ihrem Konzept des »Agentialen Realismus« findet Karen Barad seit einigen Jahren große Aufmerksamkeit, insbesondere unter Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, die sich mit Diskursanalyse, Techniksoziologie und Gender Studies beschäftigten. Barads Anliegen besteht darin, das Denken über Sprache, Diskurse und Dinge auf eine radikal neue Grundlage zu stellen. In ihrem vielbeachteten Essay, mit dem nun erstmals ein Text Barads auf Deutsch vorliegt, plädiert sie ausgehend von epistemologischen Überlegungen des dänischen Physikers Niels Bohr dafür, die Grenzen zwischen den Objekten, unseren Instrumenten, der Sprache und den menschlichen Beobachtern neu zu vermessen.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2023Love and revolution
A politics for the deep commons
by Matt York
Based on award-winning research, Love and revolution brings classical and contemporary anarchist thought into a mutually beneficial dialogue with a global cross-section of ecological, anti-capitalist, feminist and anti-racist activists - discussing real-life examples of the loving-caring relations that underpin many contemporary struggles. Such a (r)evolutionary love is discovered to be a common embodied experience among the activists contributing to this collective vision, manifested as a radical solidarity, as political direct action, as long-term processes of struggle, and as a deeply relational more-than-human ethics. This book provides an essential resource for all those interested in building a free society grounded in solidarity and care, and offers a timely contribution to contemporary movement discourse.
