Geschlecht und Emotion werden allzu oft in stereotypen Bildern gedacht. Vor einem solchen Hintergrund geht es in diesem Heft um Mehrdeutigkeiten und Abweichungen, das heißt um das dynamische Wechselspiel von Geschlecht und Emotion. Die Beiträge begreifen dabei weder Geschlecht noch Emotion als konsistente Kategorien, sondern als Phänomene in Bewegung, die immer wieder neu entstehen. Diese Fluidität kann zusätzlich Raum schaffen oder individuelles Handeln und Fühlen beschränken, was an Beispielen aus Zambia, der Türkei, Indien und Sowjetrussland sichtbar wird. Anhand von Archivquellen, Biografien, ethnografischem Material und Popkultur wird gezeigt, wie Emotionen Geschlechterkategorien verstärken oder in Frage stellen können, auf jeden Fall aber mehrdeutig, sprich fluide, machen.
Aus dem Inhalt: Sugar Relationships in Post-Independence Zambia / Contested Emotions of Masculinity in 20th Century India / Work and Women in 20th and Early 21st Century India / The Changing Landscape of Gendered Emotions in the Late Soviet Union / Faces of Shame in Contemporary Turkey / QWien - Wiens Archiv für queere Geschichte / Erforschung sexualisierter Gewalt im frühneuzeitlichen Europa / Corona und die Folgen für Frauen

The contributions of the issue examine the interplay between gender and emotion and trace the dynamics of rigidity, instability and fluidity within it. Fluidity, in these essays comes in several forms and registers: as ambivalence, circulation and divergence. Our essays explore the interface between the social and the individual as well as the points of tension or cohesion that appear in ways of feeling (out of) gender. In bringing fluidity to the centre of our analysis, this special issue advances an understanding of gender, emotions and their interactions as phenomena in motion and in the process of becoming, rather than fixed. With a geographical scope encompassing Zambia, Turkey, Soviet Russia and India, and drawing on archival histories, individual biographies, ethnographies and explorations of popular culture, we elaborate how gender categories are strengthened, disturbed or made ambivalent by emotions.
