Neues Special Issue erschienen: (Re)Writing Global Gender Norms – The Role of Southern Actors
12.02.2025Dr. Philipp Gieg hat zusammen mit Soumita Basu (South Asian University, New Delhi) und Peace Medie (University of Bristol) ein Special Issue der Zeitschrift Women's Studies International Forum herausgegeben. Unter dem Titel "(Re)Writing Global Gender Norms: The Role of Southern Actors" versammelt das Heft sechs Beiträge, die untersuchen, wie Akteure aus dem Globalen Südens globale Gendernormen beeinflussen.
Das Special Issue geht auf einen Workshop zurück, der im Rahmen des M.S. Merian – R. Tagore International Centre of Advanced Studies "Metamorphoses of the Political" (ICAS:MP) durchgeführt wurde, an dem der Lehrstuhl für Internationale Beziehungen und Europaforschung seit mehreren Jahren beteiligt ist. Dr. Philipp Gieg ist Komiteemitglied im ICAS:MP-Modul "The Challenge of Gender".
Abstract
Global gender norms are negotiated and written in international arenas, with the participation of state and non-state actors. However, these norms are often associated with intellectual traditions, historical and cultural processes, and policy interests of the Global North; practices and histories from the Global South are often side-lined. The Special Issue presents evidence-based critique of such power asymmetries, and demonstrates how Global South actors have informed globally negotiated gender norms. Contributions on/from Africa, Asia and Latin America spotlight insights for realizing progressive and more effective norms, that emerge from the contestations between the local and the global. The focus is not only on ‘vertical’ intersections, but also ‘horizontal’ ones whereby transformative gender politics in one part of the world can inspire efforts of the marginalized elsewhere.
