Abstract

In her dissertation, Inga Nüthen presents a systematisation of "queer_feminist" conceptions of politics along five thematic axes. The particular strength of the analysis lies in its broad perspective, which on the one hand enables classical feminist critiques of political science's conception of politics to be placed in relation to explicitly queer-feminist approaches, and on the other to link these contestations back to debates in political science, for example concerning a radical democratic understanding of politics. Nüthen's work at the interface between gender studies and political science thus clearly contributes to further establishing a field that has so far been under-theorised, especially in the German-speaking research landscape.
