Men and masculinities provides an engaging, accessible and provocative introduction to histories of masculinity for all readers interested in contemporary gender politics. The book offers a critical overview of ongoing historiographical debates and the historical making of men’s lives and identities and ideas of masculinity between the 1890s and the present day. In setting out a new agenda for the field, it makes an ambitious argument for the importance of writing histories which are present-centred and politically engaged. This means that the book engages head-on with ferocious debates about men’s social position and the status of masculinity in contemporary public life. In establishing a critical genealogy for the proliferation of this crisis talk, it sets out new ways of understanding how men’s lives and ideas of masculinity have changed over time while patriarchy and male power have persisted.

"This cutting-edge and authoritative Handbook covers a broad spectrum of social movement research methodologies, offering expert analysis and detailed accounts of the ways in which research can effectively be carried out on social movements and popular protests. Addressing practice-oriented questions, this Handbook engages with both theoretical and political dimensions, unpacking the multidimensional nature of social movement research. Divided into three thematic sections, this stimulating Handbook dives deep into discussions relating to the methodological challenges raised by researching social movements, the technical question of how such research is conducted, and then to more practical considerations about the uses and applications of movement research. Expert contributors and established researchers utilise real-world examples to explore the methodological challenges from a range of perspectives including classical, engaged, feminist, Black, Indigenous and global Southern viewpoints. The Handbook of Research Methods and Applications for Social Movements will not only appeal to experienced researchers, but also to activists who have started to think about researching their own movements and to politically engaged students. It speaks to new and established scholars in relevant disciplines such as sociology, political science, anthropology, geography, development studies, gender studies, and race and ethnic studies, and particularly those looking to better appreciate the different research methods for understanding social movements"--

Mit der Dienstbotenfrage Ende des 19. Jh.s mehrten sich die Debatten und Konflikte um den häuslichen Dienst. Waren Hausbedienstete als ArbeiterInnen oder eher als Haushaltsangehörige zu sehen? Wie sollten ihre Dienste reguliert und bewertet werden? Die Arbeit untersucht die Auseinandersetzungen multiperspektivisch und diskutiert, wie sich der häusliche Dienst in Österreich bis zum Anschluss an das nationalsozialistische Dt. Reich verändert hat. The "servant question" in the late nineteenth century led to the proliferation of debates and conflicts regarding domestic work. Were household servants to be viewed as workers or as members of the household? How should their work be regulated and assessed? This volume examines these debates from multiple perspectives and discusses how domestic service had changed by the time Austria entered into Anschluss with the National Socialist German.

Die Historiographie der Sexualitäten erfährt vonseiten der akademischen Geschichtsschreibung aktuell eine nie gekannte Aufmerksamkeit: Nachdem sie jahrzehntelang eher nebensächlich behandelt wurde, sind inzwischen auch im deutschsprachigen Raum die Forschungsaktivitäten und die Vielfalt der Perspektiven deutlich gestiegen - nicht zuletzt dank eines neuartigen Dialogs zwischen der Geschichte der Sexualitäten und der Geschichte der Geschlechter, aber auch der Einbeziehung interdisziplinärer Ansätze aus der Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft sowie den Medical Humanities. Die Beiträger*innen geben anhand ausgewählter Beispiele Einblick in das breite Spektrum eines rasant expandierenden Feldes.

Comparisons affect various ways of perceiving and interpreting the world, characterized by distinct legitimization strategies and knowledge application routines by different actors. The contributors to this volume explore the link between change and practices of comparing, focusing on order, representation, and models. They delve into how comparing influences knowledge production, but also focus on persisting orders of knowledge. This collection centers on the role of models and modeling in relation to practices of comparing, thus highlighting the representational and operational force of comparing as a way to form and organize reality.
