In Cultures, Citizenship and Human Rights the combined analytical efforts of the fields of human rights law, conflict studies, anthropology, history, media studies, gender studies, and critical race and postcolonial studies raise a comprehensive understanding of the discursive and visual mediation of migration and manifestations of belonging and citizenship. More insight into the convergence – but also the tensions – between the cultural and the legal foundations of citizenship, has proven to be vital to the understanding of societies past and present, especially to assess processes of inclusion and exclusion. Citizenship is more than a collection of rights and privileges held by the individual members of a state but involves cultural and historical interpretations, legal contestation and regulation, as well as an active engagement with national, regional, and local state and other institutions about the boundaries of those (implicitly gendered and raced) rights and privileges. Highlighting and assessing the transformations of what citizenship entails today is crucially important to the future of Europe, which both as an idea and as a practical project faces challenges that range from the crisis of legitimacy to the problems posed by mass migration. Many of the issues addressed in this book, however, also play out in other parts of the world, as several of the chapters reflect.

This volume centers on theories and methodologies for postgraduate feminist researchers engaged in interdisciplinary research. In the context of globalization, this book gives special attention to cutting-edge approaches at the borders between humanities and social sciences and specific discipline-transgressing fields, such as feminist technoscience studies.

Doing Gender in Media, Art, and Culture provides a critical introduction to recent developments in cultural gender studies. Focussing primarily on the fields of art, culture, and media, it encompasses literary, historical, film, performance, and indigenous studies, as well as the digital humanities.Gender studies currently find themselves at the heart of a deeply troubling socio-political landscape. The 18 chapters in this volume aim to provide knowledge on how to understand the current backlash against feminism and how to navigate the increasingly polarised debates surrounding systemic racism and sexism, anti-trans violence, and non-binary gender identifications. It teaches its readers how to address epistemic inequalities in knowledge production and how to make sense of the role of gender in thinking about racism, climate change, and armed conflict. Analysing the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion is a core task of feminist scholarship and, consequently, motivates the intersectional and gender-sensitive research methods that are brought to the fore in this book.This vibrant and wide-ranging collection of essays is essential reading for anyone seeking an accessible yet sophisticated guide to the foundational issues, concepts, and debates within gender studies.

Centered around the relationship between art and political transformation. From Charlottë Bronte and Virginia Woolf, to Marlene van Niekerk and William Kentridge, artists and intellectuals have tried to address the question: How to deal with the legacy of exclusion and oppression? Via substantive works of art, this book examines some of the answers that have emerged to this question, to show how art can put into motion something new and how it can transform social and cultural relations in a sustainable way. In this way, art can function as an effective form of cultural critique. In the course of this book, a range of artworks are examined, through a postcolonial and feminist lens, in which revolt—both as a theme and as a medium-specific technique or/as critique —is made visible. Time and time again, revolt takes the form of a slow and thorough working through of the position of the individual in relation to her history and her contemporary geopolitical circumstances. It thus becomes evident that renewal and transformation in art and society are most successful when they proceed according to the method of self-reflexive cultural critique; when they do not present themselves as revolution, radical breaks with the past, but rather as processes of revolt in which knowledge of the past is investigated, complemented, corrected, and bent to a new collective will.
