Abstract

The editors of this anthology introduce influential theories, key terms, and texts of the field of gender studies. In doing so, they explicitly want to illustrate tendencies of canonization as they have developed at German universities and complement these with significant texts from the USA. This approach leads to an exciting choice of texts. Theories and terms are explained comprehensibly. Unfortunately however, the anthology does not ask critical questions regarding the exclusion of approaches or texts through canonization as well as critical questions regarding the structural relevance of inter- and transdisciplinarity for gender studies.
