Grüner‘ Wasserstoff zur Bewältigung der Klimakrise? Auf der Suche nach alternativen feministischen Energiezukünften
‚Grüner‘ Wasserstoff (GH2) wird von den EUMitgliedstaaten als „Schlüsseltechnologie“ der Energiewende gehandelt, wobei jedoch erhebliche Effizienzverluste dessen großflächigen Einsatz infrage stellen. Zugleich reproduzieren europäische GH2-Strategien (neo-)koloniale Machtverhältnisse und blockieren sozial-ökologische Transformation. Feministische Kritik hebt androzentrische Verkürzungen in der Klimakrisenpolitik hervor, welche komplexe sozial-öko…
Künstliche Intelligenz in der Medizin? Intersektionale queerfeministische Kritik und Orientierung
Algorithmen werden als zentrale Akteure der digitalen Transformation gehandelt. Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) wird als Lösung für dringende aktuelle und zukünftige Probleme in der Medizin gerahmt. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie – oft unbewusst – faktisch diskriminierende Werte sozialer Ordnung in Algorithmen eingeschrieben werden und der weithin beklagte Gender Bias sowie rassistische Diskriminierung fortgeschrieben oder sogar verstärkt wird.…

Phänomene des Werdens
Feminist new materialisms
For the editors of this collection, new materialisms have always been the entanglement of epistemology, ontology, ethics, and politics. Looking back to the notion of “situated knowledges” (Haraway, 1988) that – among others – “planted the seed for feminist new materialism” (van der Tuin, 2015, 26) – one sees how those (at least) four planes are entangled (Rogowska-Stangret, 2018) in order to bring forth “response-able” (Haraway, 2008) research. N…
Feminist New Materialisms
The idea to create a Special Issue journal around the topic of feminist new materialisms emerged out of the editors' collaboration in the frames of European project New Materialism: Networking European Scholarship on 'How Matter Comes to Matter' (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), and more specifically it was born at the 9th Annual Conference on the New Materialisms, held at Utrecht University in June 2018
Histories of madness in South Asia
The majority of publications by historians on madness in South Asia have been written since the 1990s. Despite certain scholarly lacunae, the history of madness in South Asia in its manifold guises seems to be in good health. Alongside its African twin, it occupies a prominent niche in the wider field of history of psychiatry. One concerns a critical conceptual approach that acknowledges connections and crossovers rather than merely dissemination…
Mixed voices
This article aims at showing the relevance of family biographies to a social history of transnational identities. It focuses on individuals from four generations of an extended family of South Asian descent – all of them outstanding in their chosen fields. The path of an Indian psychiatrist working in early twentieth-century colonial India crosses with that of an eminent Indian philologist and language instructor based in Berlin when he marries t…
Activism by Other Means
In her new book, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene, Donna Haraway turns on both “apocalyptic or salvific futures.” She departs with a declared anti-utopian project, “a practic
In Connection
The paper offers a historical outline of the main positions and protagonists of feminist epistemology as a specific field in philosophy at the end of the twentieth century, in the context of a feminist critique of knowledge in academia in general as part of international feminist movements. The main question discussed is whether there is a specific feminist concept of philosophical and scientific knowledge. If so, what is its innovative aspect? W…
Feministische Technikphilosophie
Feministische Technikphilosophie untersucht die Verwobenheit von Geschlechterverhältnissen mit technologischer Forschung und Entwicklung. ›Technik‹ wird dabei grundsätzlich als kulturelles Projekt und Produkt verstanden, das in soziokulturellen Prozessen von Personen in ihren jeweiligen soziokulturellen Positionierungen mit vielfältigen politischen und ökonomischen Interessen hergestellt wird. ›Geschlecht‹ wird dabei als Kategorie verstanden, die…
The limits of comparison
This article presents a case study of institutional trends in a psychiatric institution in British India during the early twentieth century. It focuses on mortality statistics and long-term confinement rates as well as causes of death. The intention is two-fold: first, to provide new material that potentially lends itself to comparison with the few existing institutional case studies that have explored this particular period; second, to highlight…
Crossing the Boundaries of ‘Colonial Psychiatry’. Reflections on the Development of Psychiatry in British India, c. 1870–1940
Psychiatry and Empire
Crossing colonial historiographies
This book offers an innovative engagement with the diverse histories of colonial and indigenous medicines. Engagement with different kinds of colonialism and varied indigenous socio-political cultures has led to a wide range of approaches and increasingly distinct traditions of historical writing about colonial and indigenous modes of healing have emerged in the various regions formerly ruled by different colonial powers. The volume offers a much…

Colonial Psychiatry, Magic and Religion. The Case of Mesmerism in British India
This article is concerned with the development of early nineteenth-century Western medicine and psychiatry in relation to religion and magic during British colonial rule in India. The case of mesmerism is taken to illustrate that ‘colonial medicine/psychiatry in India’ itself was plural in nature, being made up of a variety of different, at times competing, strands. Religious connotations and references to spiritual enlightenment increasingly pos…
Madness, Cannabis, and Colonialism
James Mills suggests in his introduction that while colonial asylums in India were meant to control and regulate itinerant and dangerous Indians, they became in reality arenas for contestation and resistance to alien rule. This is developed into a more sophisticated discussion of the interplay of knowledge, power, and agency in the final sections. Here Mills concurs with the important point raised in recent debates about postcolonial histories th…

European Madness and Gender in Nineteenth-century Birtish India
The aim of this article is to explore whether gender was a linchpin in the construction of Europeans' mental health in nineteenth-century British India. A relational model of gender will be employed which places emphasis on the complementarity of men's and women's mental problems within the socio-economic, political and cultural confines of nineteenth-century colonialism. The postulate of a 'female malady' which has been promulgated in recent acc…
