Revisualising Intersectionality offers transdisciplinary interrogations of the supposed visual evidentiality of categories of human similarity and difference. This open-access book incorporates insights from social and cognitive science as well as psychology and philosophy to explain how we visually perceive physical differences and how cognition is fallible, processual, and dependent on who is looking in a specific context. Revisualising Intersectionality also puts into conversation visual culture studies and artistic research with approaches such as gender, queer, and trans studies as well as postcolonial and decolonial theory to complicate simplified notions of identity politics and cultural representation. The book proposes a revision of intersectionality research to challenge the predominance of categories of visible difference such as race and gender as analytical lenses.

This book explores the intersection of gender and disability in the context of tourism. In part, the book foregrounds feminist theorising of intersectionality by examining how gender can overlap with other social identities to contribute to more systemic oppression, domination, discrimination, and marginalisation of certain categories of people. Our point of departure is that disability does not operate in isolation as it is constituted and experienced within an already gendered social and tourism environment. With substantial research on the intersection of gender and tourism on the one hand, and the intersection of disability and tourism on the other hand, the interconnectedness of gender and disability and the implications this has on tourism policy and practice remains understudied. Thus, the book provides a critical lens that helps unpack underlying assumptions about gender and disability while questioning the dominant ideas about gender and disability reproduced through tourism policies and institutional practices in an African context. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in Gender Studies, Disability Studies, and Tourism Studies, particularly those with a research interest in Africa.

How can we hope to understand social inequality without considering race, class, and gender in tandem? How do they interact with other categories such as sexuality, citizenship, and ableism? How does an inclusive analysis of domination and privilege move us closer to solutions touching the lives of diverse populations? In this updated edition of her popular introduction, Mary Romero presents intersectionality as a core facet of the sociological imagination. One-dimensional approaches are no longer acceptable: we must examine all systems of oppression simultaneously, and how they integrate and work with or against each other to shape life experiences. Recognizing the dynamics of patriarchy, capitalism, and white supremacy, Romero shows how social inequality is maintained or minimized in various social settings and interactions. The new edition is updated with the latest literature and theoretical insights, as well as addressing contemporary political issues and conservative backlash, from immigrant detention and abortion restrictions to attacks on Critical Race Theory. Offering an overview of scholarly and activist tradition in the development of intersectionality as a lens to enrich our understandings of social life, this introductory text will be an invaluable and welcome resource for all students of sociology.

These papers, from the annual Summer/Spring School of the IRTG, revolve around the theme of “troubling the social”, exploring the complex relationships between religion, social worlds and transformation from the vantage point of the postcolony—not so much as a geographical location, but rather as a way to understand the world. The contributions examine the coloniality inherent within the academic enterprises related to religion, but also what, how, and why religious experiences, worldviews and engagements count as knowledge and the implications this has for understanding, examining, and activating social transformation processes. Processes of transformation have been prominent within the continent in the last decade and still animate crucial debates and knowledge production. In these, religion has figured paradoxically as the “blind spot” or occupied a default and marginal position. However, religion participates, through a complex assemblage of practices, subjectivities and meaning-making processes, in the creation of social worlds, social imagination and social transformations. They also explore how the decolonial renaissance is troubling the social and epistemic origins of religion and the social sciences, as well as its imagined relation to social transformation. Contributors are from Southern Africa and Germany, societies with histories of colonialism and segregation, both of which have experienced postcolonial transformations to the social fabric of their societies, and both have increasingly seen calls also for critical research on coloniality, religion and social transformation.

The Routledge International Handbook of Transnational Studies offers a comprehensive overview of the dynamic evolution and the most recent debates in this interdisciplinary field. The collection assembles scholarship from the social sciences and the humanities that share a critical perspective extending beyond the nation-state. The contributions investigate sustained connections, events, and activities across state borders and acknowledge prevailing global power asymmetries. The handbook examines the dynamics of transnational processes across seven main themes: epistemological and methodological principles; transnational migrant practices and family remittances; mobilities and (self-)identities; social protection; organizations and social movements; culture, religion, and the arts; and architecture and urban planning. The contributors engage with theoretical developments and analyze empirical cases involving a wide array of critical contemporary topics such as expatriate voting, first- and second-generation return migration, state-sponsored cross-border marriages, access to health care, transnational social work, global religious aesthetics, transnational art corridors, literary translation, remittance-financed architecture, and transnational processes of real estate development and gentrification, among others. They display a series of cross-cutting approaches including postcolonial theory, racism, and gender, and a focus on agency, state policies and macro-structures, and transnational inequalities. This book features multidisciplinary scholars in transnational studies from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This handbook will be of interest to scholars interested in global and transnational perspectives across a wide range of disciplines. It will serve as a key resource for academics, students, and other interested audiences seeking to familiarize themselves with the study of contemporary issues that cross state borders.

This important reference work maps the terrain of disability across the world by providing an overview of issues, concerns and developments in the domains of society, culture, medicine, law, policy, justice, education, economics, and science and technology. It is a truly inclusive volume bringing together perspectives from researchers, activists, professionals, service providers, international development experts and policymakers based in the global North and South, and it particularly focuses on the voices of the principal stakeholders---disabled persons themselves. Working from an interdisciplinary matrix, this book reviews historical developments, contemporary practices and policies . It addresses hitherto unchartered areas in the disability discourse that will be significant in the years to come. In the modern world, the social and medical responses to disability have been separation, segregation and incarceration of disabled people. These responses are reflected in practices of special education, building of asylums, medical classifications and sheltered employment. Current thinking on disability is based on the need to overcome such segregation through the enactment of human rights and socially just programmes, policies and laws such as inclusive education, affirmative action, reasonable accommodation, and supported decision-making. This book explores: · The evolution of the concept of disability over space and time and identifies approaches to disability, debility, equality and equity; · Broad trends in research on disability across the world; · New directions in work on disability; · The emergence of a global disability movement and its etiology; · Intersections of disability with other demographic variables like gender, race, caste, and age; and · Historical and socio-economic interfaces with colonialism, globalization, and social development. Spread over14 sections and spanning more than 80 chapters, this volume is the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference work available on the subject.

Text trifft Theorie – vor allem in wissenschaftlichen Qualifikationsschriften, Bachelor-, Master- und PhD-Theses wird ein harmonisches Design von theoretisch-methodischer Forschungsfrage auf der einen und literarischem Textkorpus auf der anderen Seite erwartet. Doch wie findet man eine passende Theorie zu einem interessanten Text? Und wie geeignete Texte zu einer attraktiven Theorie? Der Band vermittelt auf anschauliche Weise, mit welchen unterschiedlichen Erkenntniszielen, Verfahrensweisen und Bezugstheorien Literaturwissenschaftler:innen Texte analysieren und interpretieren können. Um erstens die Orientierung in der germanistischen Methodenwerkstatt für deutsche wie nicht-deutsche Studierende und Lehrende zu erleichtern, zweitens Theorie und Praxis wieder enger zu verknüpfen und drittens sowohl das Potenzial literaturwissenschaftlicher Methodenkompetenz als auch die gesellschaftliche Aktualität und Relevanz der deutschsprachigen Literatur unter Beweis zu stellen, versammelt der Band einige zeitgenössisch intensiv bearbeitete literaturwissenschaftliche Ansätze, die jeweils praxisorientiert – und das heißt: in Verbindung mit aktuellen oder aktuell diskutierten literarischen Textbeispielen – vorgestellt und erläutert werden. Zur Sprache kommen dabei unter anderem Fragestellungen der Interkulturalität, des Kulturtransfers und der Kulturvermittlung, des Klassismus und der Intersektionalität, der Fiktionstheorie, der Wissenspoetologie, der Lach- und Populärkulturen, des Ecocriticism und der Digital Humanities – Fragestellungen, die wir unter anderem am Beispiel gegenwärtig boomender Genres wie Autofiktionen, Autosoziobiographien und Dystopien, aber auch an Texten mit mehrkultureller Genese, an Texten ökologischer Literatur sowie an Texten diskutieren, in denen Verschwörungsnarrative aktualisiert und wissenschaftliche Wissensbestände vermittelt werden.
