Negotiating Space for Gender Studies - Frameworks and Applications

This collection of essays from different conceptual and methodological backgrounds brings disciplines together to discuss the category of gender. It connects various disciplines and negotiates the space for gender studies in and between the academic fields. This volume elaborates gender within two conceptual frameworks: The first touches upon the institutionalisation and acceptance of women’s and gender studies in different countries; the second framework comprises case examples for applying and incorporating the category of gender by and in the fields of literary studies, art history, linguistics, history, psychology, social and migration studies.
