Einleitung
Gender and Migration
From its beginnings in the 1970s and 1980s, interest towards the topic of gender and migration has grown. Gender and Migration seeks to introduce the most relevant sociological theories of gender relations and migration that consider ongoing transnationalization processes, at the beginning of the third millennium. These include intersectionality, queer studies, social inequality theory and the theory of transnational migration and citizenship; al…

Masculinity, Care and Stay-Behind Fathers
Over the last two decades many studies have focused on female migrants' transnational care practices, while those of stay-behind fathers have hardly been investigated. This chapter deals with masculinity, childcare and fatherhood of stay-behind male partners of female migrants from former socialist countries in Europe. A discussion of the particularities of gender regimes in socialist and postsocialist Europe will be followed by a presentation of…
Introduction
Although care and care work have always formed a theme of fundamental social significance, neither has had much social recognition nor sociological attention commensurate with this importance. In this Current Sociology monograph we want to move the discussion forward towards a global sociology of care and care work. The contributions focus on both theoretical and empirical studies about care relations and their global interrelations. To shed ligh…
Care migration
One of the features of the global commodification of care is the outsourcing of care work to migrants. The aim of this article is to investigate theoretical responses to the incorporation of migrant care workers in transnational care arrangements. After a description of the scope of migrant care labour and the global care economy, the article summarizes the challenges posed by this empirical phenomenon and asks to what extent care migrations on a…

The three co-authors are scholars whose age, gender and nationality differ, but who are united by one characteristic that brings their experiences together: researching and teaching Canadian studies (abroad). Employed at the English Department of Szczecin University in Poland, the three met in 2011 to officially form the Szczecin Canadian Studies Group (SCSG). The aim of this article is to present this mutual experience in greater detail, but als…

Sitting at a crossroads - rekonstruktive und systematische Überlegungen zum wissenschaftlichen Umgang mit Differenzen
Mit dem Titel des Beitrags wird der Bogen sehr weit gespannt, und es werden mehr Fragen aufgeworfen, als wir vermutlich auch im Rahmen dieser Tagung beantworten können. Uns geht es um Ungleichheitsforschung, eine Forschungsperspektive, die unter verschiedenen Bezeichnungen und Akzentsetzungen in den letzten Jahren auch in der Erziehungswissenschaft wieder stärkere Aufmerksamkeit erfährt. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Ungleichheit im Bildungswesen un…
Gender in the Migratory Process
This paper argues for treating gender as a key category in the understanding of migratory processes. Starting with an illustration of the absence of women in mainstream migration research, it presents the debate on this phenomenon and its development from a focus on women to one on gender. Through discussion of the debate on current migration phenomena it is demonstrated how gender can be used in a conceptual framework which includes various leve…
Care Work Migration in Germany
In this article, we deal with contradictions and paradoxes of the German policies on migration and domestic care work. Although the demand for care workers in private homes is increasing, the German government has turned a blind eye to the topic of migrant care workers. As a result of the mismatch between demand and restrictive policies, a large sector of undeclared care work has come into being. This veritable ‘twilight zone’ can be coined an ‘o…
Care, Gender and Migration
In this article the authors discuss their analytical concept, developed through and for the exploration of forms and dynamics of transnational labour and care arrangements in domestic work migration. Firstly, on the institutional level they highlight the interplay between three national regimes (of migration, gender and welfare/care) to clarify the specific dynamic of transnational care migration. Secondly, based on intersectionality analysis, th…
The Limits of European-Ness
This article is intended to contribute to the ongoing debate on the ideological, social and political formation of a New Europe. By focusing on the position of immigrant women it examines the gendered nature of the changing configurations of cultural and social European landscapes. Two features of immigrant women's positioning are the key issues of this analysis: regulations through national and European law and ideological representation. It is …
Intersectionality as Method
Introduction
Research over the last decade and more, has documented a resurgence of paid domestic and care labour (that is, work performed for pay in private households, such as household cleaning and maintenance and care for elders/disabled/children) across the Global North. 1 Much of the research has revealed the increasing reliance on migrant , as opposed to home-state, domestic workers, and it has been suggested (Lutz, 2007: 4) that domestic and care work…

Hard Labour
Immigrant women to Western Europe, especially those originating from Islamic countries, have been turned into icons of cultural difference by the general discourse on immigration. They are not recognized as actors in a changing society, just as society's changes through immigrants tend to be denied. This obscures the work and the accomplishments of women in the course of their immigration. Focusing on a biographical interview with a Turkish woman…

These are women involved in working with and for their compatriots in various sectors of social work. The term mediator refers to their professional task of mediating between the migrant community on the one hand and the indigenous society's institutions on the other. Their ethnicity turns out to be crucial for their professi…

Lost in translation? The role of language in migrants’ biographies
In her famous memoir Lost in Translation (1989), the journalist and psychoanalyst Eva Hoffman describes her childhood metamorphosis from a Polish into a North American girl by reconstructing her experience with learning a new language. She equates this with loss and acquisition of identities. This article focuses on Hoffman’s interest in language as an identity issue since this is a highly relevant theme for migration researchers, particularly fo…

"Indians" and native Americans in the movies
Knowledge about Indian cultures and history among non‐native children is extremely limited and stereotyped due to a continued process of distortions and displacements in literature and particularly in Hollywood movies. The dual Indian stereotype was functionalized according to the colonizers’ interests. Hollywood movies depicted Indians first as noble or blood‐thirsty savages, then, in the fifties, as cyphers in melodramatic racial conflicts, and…

Differenz als Rechenaufgabe
Die Amerikanerin Donna Haraway stellt in ihrem Buch „Symians, Cyborgs and Women“ Folgendes fest: „It has seemed very rare for feminist theory to hold race, sex/gender, and class analytically together — all the best intentions, hues of authors, and remarks in prefaces notwithstanding. In addition, there is as much reason for feminists to argue for a race/gender system as for a sex/gender system, and the two are not the same kind of analytical move…

In fremden Diensten. Die neue Dienstmädchenfrage als Herausforderung für die Migrations- und Genderforschung
Auf den ersten Blick erinnert diese Geschichte an längst vergangene Zeiten — es könnte sich um die Lebensgeschichte eines Dienstmädchens aus der ländlichen Umgebung Frankfurts handeln, einer jungen Frau aus einer kinderreichen, armen Familie, die gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in die große Stadt zog, um dort ihr Brot zu verdienen und noch einen Teil ihres Einkommens nach Hause zu schicken. Zu jener Zeit waren 1/5 aller Frauen im Deutschen Kaiser…
Informal Empire
Informal Empire? is not exactly what one might surmise from the title. It is a collection of essays from a conference at the University of Greifswald, on Germany's Baltic coast, in 1996. All but four of the twenty-six essays deal with critical theory or literary criticism, and only the keynote address, Hans Hauge's “Con-tinentalism versus Nationalism,” explicitly deals with the trilateral cultural relations implied in the book's subtitle. The int…

Geschlechterforschung und Biographieforschung
Die Frauen- oder Geschlechterforschung hat sich in der Bundesrepublik, ähnlich wie in anderen Ländern, in den vergangenen zwanzig Jahren in rasantem Tempo entwickelt. Die ursprünglich gängige Unterdrückungs- oder Patriarchatsthese stand schnell zur Debatte, da an ihr zurecht kritisiert wurde, dass sie (1.) ontolo-gisiert, also bestimmte Eigenschaften als männlich und weiblich festschreibt und dass sie (2.) dichotomisiert, also eine Zweigeteilthei…

Vor einigen Jahren las ich den Roman „Tea-Bag“ des schwedischen Autors Henning Mankell, in dem er das Leben einer Gruppe junger illegaler Migrantinnen in Schweden beschreibt; offiziell existieren diese Menschen nicht, den einheimischen SchwedInnen sind sie unbekannt. Der Roman wurde in viele Sprachen ubersetzt und erhielt Preise fur die literarische Thematisierung der Lebenswelt illegaler MigrantInnen. 1 Obgleich das Buch gut geschrieben ist, war…
