Parcours and Map. Postmigrant Explorations at Ballhaus Naunynstraße, departing from the theater parcours Kahvehane. Turkish Delight, German Fright? (2008)

The article deals with the theatre parcours Kahvehane – Turkish Delight, German Fright?, a walking performance that takes the audience to various Anatolian coffee houses in the Berlin districts Kreuzberg and Neukölln. Within these venues, international artists developed performative interventions trying to temporarily open these seemingly closed spaces to a new (theatre) audience. By leaving the theater building and entering the Kahvehane, however, the audience itself became an object of investigation. As the essay attempts to show, the parcours stages aesthetic as well as social tensions between self and other, between the known and the unknown by deploying different medial strategies, as it consists not only of the tour, but also of a catalog including a cartography and a typology of the Kahvehane. However, the documenting map and the ephemeral (theater) parcours are not presented as mutually exclusive strategies, but as media practices that necessarily complement each other in order to negotiate and historicize conf licts of the German migration society with performative means

Hochqualifiziert am Herd? Die berufliche Situation von promovierten Frauen und Männern innerhalb und außerhalb der Wissenschaft

Hochqualifizierte Frauen sind vielen Karriereanforderungen ausgesetzt und müssen gleichzeitig Sorgearbeit und Kinderwunsch in der Karriereplanung unterbringen. Männer sehen sich mit diesem Vereinbarkeitsproblem in geringerem Maße konfrontiert. In Deutschland werden Vereinbarkeitsprobleme insbesondere für Hochschullaufbahnen diskutiert, während für andere berufliche Sektoren empirische Befunde weitgehend fehlen. Deshalb geht dieser Beitrag der Frage nach, in welchem Maße promovierte Männer und Frauen in unterschiedlichen beruflichen Sektoren in Sorgearbeitskontexte eingebunden sind und wie diese sich auf ihre berufliche Situation auswirken. Grundlage für die Analyse sind Absolvent_innenstudien mit 994 Promovierten. Im Ergebnis stellen sich Geschlechterdifferenzen bei der beruflichen Situation in Hochschulen anders dar als in anderen Bereichen. Zweifelsohne sind erhebliche Vereinbarkeitsprobleme von Beruf und Familie ersichtlich, es ist aber zu diskutieren, ob diese im Hochschulsektor tatsächlich als schwieriger einzustufen sind als im privaten Sektor. Darüber hinaus zeigt sich, dass durch Elternschaft auch bei Hochqualifizierten eine retraditionalisierte Rollenverteilung hinsichtlich der Sorgearbeit repliziert wird.Highly qualified women - both within and outside of academia - are confronted with an array of career demands. Often they have to take both parenthood and care work into account when planning their careers. Men, on the other hand, are confronted with such considerations to a much lesser degree. While German research on reconciling work and family life focuses on careers in academia, empirical analyses of other sectors in which PhD holders pursue their careers is scarce. Consequently, we here examine to what extent highly qualified men and women inside and outside of academia are involved in care work and how this involvement affects their careers. The basis of this analysis is a graduate survey in which 994 PhD graduates were asked, inter alia, about parenthood, care work and occupational conditions. Our results show that gender differences in academia differ from those in other professional fields. Without a doubt, issues concerning work-life balance are similarly evident in the private and academic sector - it yet has to be discussed whether the challenges are indeed more intense in the academic sector, though. Further, parenthood leads to re-traditionalized role allocations in care work contexts, even for highly qualified

Gaydar

Gaydar, die Fähigkeit, die sexuelle Orientierung eines Gegenübers vermeintlich erkennen zu können, wird in dieser Dissertationsschrift wissenssoziologisch erörtert. Dabei wird Gaydar soziale Kompetenz, Strategie im Umgang mit Unsicherheit, sowie als Auslegungsleistung gefasst und letztendlich als Konstrukt und Konstrukteurin von Selbst- und Fremdidentitäten modelliert

P/Re/Enact!:Performing in Between Times

For quite some time the concept of reenactment has enjoyed popularity as an artistic practice used to visualize and contemporize the past. More recently the term preenactment has started to receive a great deal of attention. Preenactment as a performative practice does not deal with the revision or replication of a historic event, instead it sets out to experiment with fictitious time(s) and space(s). How can one conceptualize the temporality of preenactment when its vectors, intensities, and affects go beyond an allegedly fleeting moment? Similar to the way in which reenactment always provides a prospective dimension, preenactment always includes a retrospective dimension which is why the conference conceives of it as (P)reenactment. It thereby encourages the establishment of a new perspective on the notion of reenactment, whereby reoccurrence, repetition, or duration do not stand at the forefront, but rather as a beginning, as a means of relief, reorientation, and a process of transition. The interdisciplinary conference aims at examining Pre-, Re-, as well as En-actments that are not just based on artistic practices, but include social, medial, political, and activist phenomena. To what extent can artistic (P)reenactments influence – especially in terms of anticipation – political relationships and vice versa? To what extent is the theory of (P)reenactment capable of redefining the relationship between art and politics? Which role do cultural-historic preconditions play in particular courses of action and habits of perception? Moreover, the conference aims at conceptualizing (P)reenactments beyond their definition as live performances by drawing on the discourses of media studies.  (P)reenactments are to be understood as phenomena not only within artistic frameworks but are encountered in other social contexts as well. Along with the temporal and spatial dynamics of (P)reenactments, their different affective potential has to be addressed also: In (P)reenactments, the capacity to move and be moved takes place between the poles of memory/history and vision(s) of the future. Comprehending (P)reenactments as affective events allows for a focus on aspects that have until now been overlooked by the research into reenactment, but which have acquired great significance within the field of affect studies. The goal of this conference is to promote an interdisciplinary exchange on the various dimensions of (P)reenactment outlined above. Speakers are invited from various fields, including theater studies, media studies, literary studies, political science, and social sciences. In addition to promoting an interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars, the conference will incorporate artistic interventions and contributions from practitioners of (P)reenactment from various fields. P/Re/Enact!: Performing in Between Times, conference, ICI Berlin, 27–28 October 2017 <https://doi.org/10.25620/e171027
