Abstract

Der Band enthält die Beiträge eines bislang einmaligen Dialoges zwischen Neuro- und Biowissenschaften auf der einen, Theologie und Kirche auf der anderen Seite. Während sich in den letzten 20 Jahren durch neurobiologische Forschung ein Paradigmenwechsel vollzogen hat, der mit der Entpsychiatrisierung und Entpsychopathologisierung von Transsexualität verbunden ist, so bleibt eine systematische Reflexion von Transsexualität im Kontext von Theologie und Kirche nach wie vor ein Desiderat. Hier setzen die Beiträge des Sammelbandes an: Bereits vorliegende Forschungsergebnisse aus Sicht der beteiligten Disziplinen werden dokumentiert, kontroverse Standpunkte miteinander ins Gespräch gebracht und Perspektiven für einen ethisch, politisch und rechtlich angemessenen Umgang mit Transsexualität als einer paradigmatischen Herausforderung zur gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz geschlechtlicher Vielfalt eröffnet. Ausgewählte, stark überarbeitete und zum Teil übersetzte Beiträge aus dem Sammelband "Transsexualität in Theologie und Neurowissenschaften. Ergebnisse, Kontroversen, Perspektiven" Hg. Gerhard Schreiber (Berlin: De Gruyter, 2016) In an unprecedented dialogue between neuroscience and biology as one partner and theology and church as the other, this book documents current research findings, engages opposing positions in dialogue, and opens a perspective for appropriate ethical, political, and legal engagement with transsexuality as a paradigmatic challenge in societal acceptance of sexual diversity.

Abstract

Sexuality, Society and Pedagogy problematises some of the prevailing assumptions that frame this area of study. In doing so, it aims to make visible the challenges of teaching sexuality education in South African schools, while demonstrating its potential for reshaping our conceptions of the social and cultural representations thereof. Although the book is largely situated in experiences and perspectives within the South African context, it is hoped that the questions raised, reflections, analyses and arguments will contribute to thinking about sexuality education in diverse contexts, in particular more developing contexts.

Abstract

This volume, like its companion, Voices of Our Times, collects essays drawn from a series of public conferences held in autumn 2011 entitled “More than a Monologue.” The series was the fruit of collaboration among four institutions of higher learning: two Catholic universities and two nondenominational divinity schools. The conferences aimed to raise awareness of and advance informed, compassionate, and dialogical conversation about issues of sexual diversity within the Catholic community, as well as in the broader civic worlds that the Catholic Church and Catholic people inhabit. They generated fresh, rich sets of scholarly and reflective contributions that promise to take forward the delicate work of theological-ethical and ecclesial development. Along with Voices of Our Times, this volume captures insights from the conferences and aims to foster what the Jesuit Superior General, Fr. Adolfo Nicolas, has called the “depth of thought and imagination” needed to engage effectively with complex realities, especially in areas marked by brokenness, pain, and the need for healing. The volumes will serve as vital resources for understanding and addressing better the too often fraught relations between LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) persons, their loved ones and allies, and the Catholic community. Inquiry, Thought, and Expression explores dimensions of ministry, ethics, theology, and law related to a range of LGBTQ concerns, including Catholic teaching, its reception among the faithful, and the Roman Catholic Church’s significant role in world societies. Within the volume, a series of essays on ministry explores various perspectives not frequently heard within the church. Marriage equality and the treatment of LGBTQ individuals by and within the Roman Catholic Church are considered from the vantage points of law, ethics, and theology. Themes of language and discourse are explored in analyses of the place of sexual diversity in church history, thought, and authority. The two volumes of More than a Monologue, like the conferences from which they developed, actively move beyond the monologic voice of the institutional church on the subject of LGBTQ issues, inviting and promoting open conversations about sexual diversity and the church. Those who read Inquiry, Thought, and Expression will encounter not just an excellent resource for research and teaching in the area of moral theology but also an opportunity to actively listen to and engage in groundbreaking discussions about faith and sexuality within and outside the Catholic Church.

Abstract

This two-volume open-access book offers a theoretically and empirically-grounded portrayal of the experiences of people claiming international protection in Europe on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI). It shows how European asylum systems might and should treat asylum claims based on people’s SOGI in a fairer, more humane way. Through a combined comparative, interdisciplinary (socio-legal), human rights, feminist, queer and intersectional approach, this book examines not only the legal experiences of people claiming asylum on grounds of their SOGI, but also their social experiences outside the asylum decision-making framework. The authors analyse how SOGI-related claims are adjudicated in different European frameworks (European Union, Council of Europe, Germany, Italy and UK) and offer detailed recommendations to adequately address the intersectional experiences of individuals seeking asylum. This unique approach ensures that the book is of interest not only to researchers in migration and refugee studies, law and wider academic communities, but also to policy makers and practitioners in the field of SOGI asylum.

Abstract

Der Umgang mit geschlechtlicher und sexueller Vielfalt gewinnt in bildungspolitischen und wissenschaftlichen Debatten zunehmend an Bedeutung. Noch immer werden nicht-heteronormative Lebensweisen abgewertet - mit weitreichenden Folgen für die individuelle Identitätsentwicklung der Jugendlichen. Einen wertschätzenden Umgang mit vielfältigen Identitäten und Lebensweisen zu ermöglichen stellt pädagogisch Agierende jedoch vor besondere Herausforderungen (Diversity-Kompetenz). Mit diesem Band wird ein Verständnis für die Entstehung, Wirkung und Bedeutung von Diskriminierungen auf der Basis sozialer Kategorien wie Geschlecht, sexuelle Orientierung, sozialer Status, Migration u.a. und für deren Zusammenwirken in pädagogischen Kontexten geweckt. Neben Theorieansätzen geben Expert_innen aus pädagogischen Handlungsfeldern und den Didaktiken der Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften erstmalig fachspezifische Impulse für Bildungsprozesse zum Umgang mit sexueller Vielfalt und Diversity. »Ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Diskussion über den Umgang mit geschlechtlicher und sexueller Vielfalt im Schulunterricht und in der Lehramtsausbildung.« Frauke Grenz, Jahrbuch Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung (2017) »[Der Band] eröffnet nicht nur Einblicke in den Forschungsstand und Handhabungen sexueller Vielfalt, sondern sensibilisiert auch für Lücken und noch zu bearbeitende Fragen und eröffnet neue Forschungsperspektiven. Dabei richtet sich der Band nicht nur an Wissenschaftler*innen, sondern auch an Praktiker*innen, da die theoretischen Grundlagen weitreichend und nachvollziehbar dargestellt werden.« Andrea Bossen, Zeitschrift für Sexualforschung, 29 (2016) »Das Buch stellt eine gelungene Mischung zwischen theoretischen Grundlagen und Praxisorientierung dar und gibt Anregungen zum Denken und Handeln. Es wäre sehr wünschenswert, dass dieses Buch bzw. das Thema sexuelle Vielfalt vermehrt Eingang in die Schule findet.« Renate Tanzberger, www.efeu.or.at, 12 (2015)
