Abstract

The question how to conceptualize gender’s relation to other social categories is being hotly discussed in today’s German-language Gender Studies. The volume at hand represents an intervention into these debates and manages two noteworthy achievements: For one, the essays provide an interesting summary of the course of the discussion and the concepts arising from this; second, the authors provide their own sketch of the manner in which categories of social disparity, marginalization, and normalization can be comprehended and analyzed, in that namely gender itself can be understood as an interdependent category.
