        by Thomas Meinecke

        Eine WG in Frankfurt am Main: Eva (Mode-Redakteurin, Kunsthistorikerin, »Prinzessin«), Genoveva (autodidaktische Sexualwissenschaftlerin, Forschungsschwerpunkte: Autogynophilie und Selfie Culture) und Venus (androgynes Model, Kulturwissenschaftlerin, Forschungsschwerpunkt: die Kolonien deutscher Vormärz-Auswanderer in Texas, insbesondere die Geschichte der nach Bettina von Arnim benannten libertären Kommune am Llano River). Sie schießen Modestrecken auf der Baustelle der EZB, werden Zeuge der polizeilichen Erstürmung des Instituts für Vergleichende Irrelevanz, gehen tanzen im »Robert Johnson« und suchen nach Zärtlichkeit jenseits einer von Freud, Foucault oder Butler als Gefängnis geschilderten Sexualität. Sie sind die Hauptfiguren in einem mal platonischen, mal erotischen Postgender-Liebesreigen, inszeniert von Thomas Meinecke, feministischer Autor, Anhänger weiblichen Schreibens und Schriftsteller-Darsteller im eigenen Roman. »Studieren wir also: die feinen Verästelungen, die sich zwischen Subkultur und Höhenkammartistik, kanonisierter Geschichte und historischer Kolportage ergeben.« Daniel Haas, FAZ

        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
        September 2023

        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.

        Die vielen Leben der Ruth Landshoff-Yorck

        by Thomas Blubacher

        Die erste Biographie der Ruth Landshoff-Yorck Sie spielte Krocket mit Thomas Mann, wurde von Oskar Kokoschka porträtiert, verhalf Marlene Dietrich zu ihrer Rolle im Blauen Engel, verkehrte mit Andy Warhol, Patricia Highsmith und Salvador Dalí … Ruth Landshoff-Yorck war Glitzergirl und androgyne Stil-Ikone, vor allem aber eine vielseitige Literatin, die die Presse der Weimarer Republik mit flotten Feuilletons versorgte und mehrere Romane publizierte. Ihre Kurzgeschichten und Gedichte wurden weltweit veröffentlicht. Das Leben der Ruth Landshoff schlägt eine Brücke von der Bohème der Weimarer Republik zur amerikanischen New Bohemia der 60er Jahre, vom expressionistischen Stummfilm zur Entstehung des experimentellen Off-Off-Broadways und nicht zuletzt von der schwulen Subkultur der „goldenen“ Zwanziger zur alternativen Szene New Yorks. In jahrelanger Arbeit hat Thomas Blubacher unbekannte Dokumente aufgespürt und Zeitzeugen befragt. Erstmals liegt nun eine Biographie der verkannten Avantgarde-Literatin und engagierten Antifaschistin vor, deren viele Leben in Berlin, Paris und Venedig, London und New York die Zeitläufte eines halben Jahrhunderts spiegeln.

        Why headless males are better lovers

        Why headless males are better lovers

        Sex and reproduction in the animal kingdom

        by Monika Niehaus / Michael Wink

        "Sex sells" also applies to evolution. Without sex, there is no genetic variation, and without genetic variation, there is no natural selection and evolution. When it comes to sex and reproduction, all animals have things in common, but there are also many variations. In this game of the sexes, everything revolves around the conflicts of interest between females and males, the diversity of mating systems, matriarchal and patriarchal communities and the securing of paternity, whether through beauty, song and dance or violence.

        A Vision of Battlements

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Andrew Biswell, Paul Wake

        A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.

        Vivien Leigh

        Actress and icon

        by Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale

        This edited volume provides new readings of the life and career of iconic actress Vivien Leigh (1913-67), written by experts from theatre and film studies and curators from the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The collection uses newly accessible family archives to explore the intensely complex relationship between Vivien Leigh's approach to the craft of acting for stage and screen, and how she shaped, developed and projected her public persona as one of the most talked about and photographed actresses of her era. With key contributors from the UK, France and the US, chapters range from analyses of her work on stage and screen to her collaborations with designers and photographers, an analysis of her fan base, her interior designs and the 'public ownership' of Leigh's celebrity status during her lifetime and beyond.

        "I am Jugoslovenka!"

        Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism

        by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon

        "I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

        From Dream to Trauma: Mental abuse in partnerships

        From Dream to Trauma: Mental abuse in partnerships

        by Caroline Wenzel

        The level of domestic abuse has been increasing for years, but often only cases of physical abuse hit the headlines. Hardly anyone talks about the mental, or psychological, abuse that usually precedes a physical or sexual assault. Those affected do not usually recognise the destructive dynamic in their relationship until far too late. In this book, three case histories illustrate the typical forms of mental abuse in relationships. In addition, experts explain the topic from psychological, therapeutic, political and legal perspectives, and the head of a counselling centre for male victims of mental abuse also has his say. An important and startling book.
