Abstract

Alexandra Weiss’s monograph, which is unreservedly worth reading, deals with stability, change, and discrepancies of the order of sexes in the transformations of capitalism using the example of Austria. In doing so, she illustrates the masculism of the neoliberal notion and politics, analyzes the retraditionalization of the political in Post-Fordism, and reflects on perspectives of action of feminist politics under the conditions of the current statehood. At the center of emancipatory (gender-) politics, she sees the reestablishment of equality as a prerequisite for freedom in a democratic society. Lastly, the powerful social-analytical study convinces the reader with its compelling reasoning and pleasantly clear language.
