Becoming an ‘almost normal family’
The Cambridge Handbook for the Anthropology of Gender and Sexuality
The tense but enduring engagement between anthropology and gender and sexuality studies has had profound effects upon anthropological theory and practice. Bringing together contributions from an international team of authors, this Handbook shows that anthropological work has taken inspiration from feminist and LGBTQI movements to create a transformative body of research. It provides an accessible, state-of-the-art overview of the anthropology of …
Männlichkeit und Flucht zusammendenken – eine Einleitung
Zugänge der Flucht- und der Männlichkeitsforschung werden im deutschsprachigen Raum noch selten miteinander in Verbindung gebracht. In dieser Einleitung zum Themenheft Flucht und Männlichkeiten geben wir einen Überblick über die historische Genese der beiden Forschungsfelder, bevor wir diskutieren, wie in den letzten zwanzig Jahren zunehmend ein Zusammendenken von Migration, Flucht und Männlichkeit stattgefunden hat. Davon ausgehend werden die ve…
Feeling Strange. The Role of Emotion in Maintaining and Overcoming Borders and Boundaries
This article argues that a focus on emotion and affect helps to understand the processes of constructing and negotiating borders and boundaries critically. To do so, the article analyses two distinct yet connected cases in Austria: On the one hand, it discusses political discourse after the so-called “refugee crisis” of 2015 and shows, how a “politics of fear” was employed to regain control after a brief moment of relative freedom of movement. Th…
It won't work without ugly pictures
In summer 2015, the Austrian migration regime was temporarily disrupted when refugees for a brief moment managed to assert freedom of movement across the country’s border. This article discusses how negative images of foreign masculinity allowed Austrian politicians to regain control and legitimise new restrictive asylum laws. The analysis shows that politicians took up and reframed existing notions about foreign masculinity to create gendered, r…
From Health Check to Muslim Test
Racialised notions of ‘foreign masculinity’ play a crucial role in migration discourses. This paper argues that such constructs are firmly embedded in political rationalities of migration control. Analysing Austrian post-war migration policies, the paper shows that shifting constructs of ‘foreign masculinity’ were used to legitimate restrictive migration laws. The early ‘guest worker’ regime was mainly interested in questions of bodily health, st…
Unravelling the New Politics of Racialised Sexualities
Intersektionalität, Männlichkeit und Migration - Wege zur Analyse eines komplizierten Verhältnisses
Provincialising Multiculturalism
This article builds on a postcolonial critique of contemporary discourses and politics of diversity management in Germany. It traces the colonial legacy of this form of governing migration and analyses it as a new articulation of racism. Upon critically discussing liberal theories of multiculturalism as well as concrete discourses and policies in Germany the article ends with claims to alternative academic as well as political practices that buil…
His-stories of Belonging
Public discourses about the children of migrants tend to focus on various difficulties that they encounter in adjusting to host society environments. More specifically, discourses that focus on the sons of Muslim migrants are further infused with ideas about “the Muslim man” who is thought to be the antipode of the enlightened “Western man”. This paper moves beyond such Orientalist descriptions in presenting three case studies of young men of mig…
