Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2018The politics of identity
Place, space and discourse
by Christine Agius, Dean Keep
In what ways can we think through the complexities of identity? Identity is a contested concept, but it is more than a thing possessed by agents. Identity is contingent and dynamic, constituting and reconstituting subjects with political effects. In this edited book, identity is explored through a range of unique interdisciplinary case studies from around the world. Questions of citizenship, belonging, migration, conflict, security, peace and subjectivity are examined through social construction, post-colonialism, and gendered lenses from an interdisciplinary perspective. This combination showcases in particular the political implications of identity, how it is constituted, and the effects it produces. This edited collection will be of particular interest to students of international relations theory, migration studies, gender and sexuality, post-colonialism and policy-making at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Feministische psychosoziale Beratung bei Beziehungskonflikten, Gewalterfahrung, Trennung und im Umgang mit Arbeit, Geld und Körper
by Bettina Zehetner
Dr.in Bettina Zehetner ist Mitbegründerin der Beratungsplattform FRAUEN* BERATEN FRAUEN*, Wien. Konkrete Beispiele aus der Praxis zeigen, wie eine feministische Haltung die Therapie verändert und wie aus dem frischen Blick auf traditionelle Konzepte eine psychosoziale Beratung erwächst, die Hilfesuchende befähigt, mit kritischem Bewusstsein geschlechtsspezifische Bewertungen von Verhalten und Eigenschaften zu hinterfragen. Die Erkenntnis, dass es ein physisches und psychisches Leiden an Geschlechternormen gibt, setzt dem Gefühl persönlichen Versagens etwas entgegen und verleiht den Mut, eigene tiefgreifende Problemlösungen zu wagen. Feministische Beratung
