Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Junge queere Menschen im Übergang von Schule in Ausbildung und Beruf: Eine qualitativ-rekonstruktive Studie zu (un)doing queer im beruflichen Ausbildungssystem
Book SynopsisDie Situation von queeren Menschen in Deutschland ist bereits in verschiedenen Studien erforscht worden. Diese belegen, dass Menschen mit nicht-heterosexuellen Orientierungen und/oder nicht cisgeschlechtlichen Zugehörigkeiten unterschiedliche Erfahrungen machen, die von Anerkennung bis hin zu Ausgrenzungen, Benachteiligungen und unterschiedlichen Gewaltformen reichen. Dieses Buch greift diese Ausgangslage auf und spezifiziert eine Perspektive auf junge queere Menschen, die nicht nur aufgrund ihres Queerseins, sondern auch aufgrund verzögerter Bildungszugänge und -abschlüsse sowie prekären Beschäftigungsaussichten eine marginalisierte Position innerhalb einer normativ geprägten Gesellschaft einnehmen.Zentral hierbei ist eine subjektorientierte Perspektive auf die Lebenssituation von jungen queeren Menschen im Schulberufssystem und Übergangssystem. Hierbei werden Diskriminierungsverhältnisse hinsichtlich geschlechtlicher und sexueller Vielfalt sowie klassenbezogener Benachteiligung analysiert und diskutiert. In diesem Zusammenhang werden zentrale Diskurse zu Queerness und sozialer (Un)Gerechtigkeit sowie damit verbundene Anerkennungsordnungen in den Blick genommen.

JOVIS Verlag Schwarzer Rolli, Hornbrille: Plädoyer für einen
Book SynopsisAccording to a recent American study, sexism and racism are so widespread in architecture that there is a distaste for these topics within the branch itself. What are the reasons for this exclusionary working culture? Even in Germany, most architecture graduates since the turn of the millennium have been female—but a large number of conventions and assumptions within the discipline make it difficult for women to remain in the profession. As a result, a great deal of highly trained talent is lost. Schwarzer Rolli, Hornbrille uses an intersectional feminist perspective to examine the structural causes that push women—and anyone else who isn’t a white cis man—out of the field. How can architectural teaching and discourse, as well as the industry’s self-image, become more diverse? Where are the experiences of a pluralistic society missing from the built environment? How can we bring about cultural change in planning and architecture? Featuring an interview with the Dutch architect Afaina de Jong

Editon Synapse Foundations of Japanese Feminism (ES 4-vol. set)
Book SynopsisThe influence of Western ideas and know-how on the modernization of Japan remains one of the most important subjects in Japanese Studies; indeed, today’s Japan cannot be understood without a comprehension of the impact of thought and practice from the West. With regard to the history of women in Japan, Western ideas were especially central since the women’s movement in Japan was founded on the translation of Western books into Japanese, a process that began in Meiji times and continued into the early Showa era. During this period, along with classical texts by such authors as J. S. Mill and Herbert Spencer, some lesser books on the subject were also translated and published in Japanese. This new series from Edition Synapse—now available outside Japan from Routledge—collects some of those texts, many of which have been forgotten, but which nonetheless played important roles in the foundation of Japanese feminism. The second and the final collection includes facsimile reprints of the first editions of the English works which influenced the Japanese women’s movement in the early Showa era by authors, including, among others, Jessica Smith, Bernard Shaw, and Sylvia Pankhurst.

Editon Synapse Japan as Seen by British Women (ES 5-vol. set)
Book SynopsisSince its foundation, Edition Synapse has specialized in the publication of primary-source materials relating to the history of the Anglo-Japanese relationship and has provided the academic market with nineteenth-century English books on Japan, reprinted in facsimile and including many visual sources, such as illustrations and photographs. Continuing the tradition, this new Edition Synapse series—now available outside Japan from Routledge—collects publications by Christian missionary women, both missionary wives and female missionaries, who worked in Japan from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century.Many Christian missionaries came to Japan after the Meiji restoration in 1868. Although they were not able to convert many Japanese, they played a significant role in the rapid Westernization of Japan. In particular, women missionaries took leading roles in activities relating to local women and children in Japan, and they left an important and indelible mark in the history of education of Japanese women and children.This first collection of the series includes twelve works on Japan by British women in the missions. Authors of those books observed rapid changes in Japanese society and not only reported the facts, but also gave detailed analyses of the background to them. Their observations illustrate these British women’s great curiosity, genuine concern for the local society, and their positive attitude in trying to comprehend a very different culture. The contents covered by each book are broad, most of them refer not only to the missionary activities, but try to introduce Japan in general, as well as the historical and religious background, and the daily life of ordinary people and the situation of Japanese women.

Editon Synapse Women and Employment in Nineteenth- to Early
Book SynopsisThe Industrial Revolution in Britain from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century had profound effects on social and economic conditions; the working conditions of women were not an exception. Trade for women which had been rather confined to a small area such as nurses or governesses changed and British society began to permit more opportunities for women to take jobs in trades which used to be dominated by male workers. They included not only the manual labour, but also the professions, such as medicine. We often see those women workers in Victorian novels, and authors like Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell and others treated the issue of the working conditions or vocational education of women as important topics for their works, and the subject is now being widely studied by literary scholars as well as historian on Victorian society.This set of facsimile reprints includes eleven key contemporary publications which cover a wide range of the issues of women and trade in nineteenth-century England from various different perspectives. A pamphlet by Josephine Butler and a collection of essays by Frances Cobb, James Stuart, and George Butler, handbooks and educational books for women looking for jobs, official reports and statistics etc. are collected here, as well as a rare guidebook for young women and men published by The Apprenticeship and Skilled Employment Association in the early twentieth century. All together, it represents a very useful primary source of information for scholars on Victorian social history, culture, and literature.
