Feminismen leben

Den Feminismus gibt es nicht. So vielfältig wie die Lebensrealitäten von Frauen sind auch feministische Strömungen.
Feminismen sind nicht nur theoretische Konzepte – sie sind Ausgangspunkte für politische Bewegungen und werden von Feminist*innen im Alltag gelebt.

Transnational Queer Underground (Blog, Network)

Statement:

The “transnational queer underground” emerged as a reference to the “international pop underground”, a convention initiated by Calvin Johnston (K Records/Portland/USA) in 1991 to take a stand against the sell-out of the music industry and also laid the foundation for the riot grrrl movement. In 2009 I was doing a lot of research on issues related to queer music for an article I was writing at that time and thought that the information I collected might be useful to some other people as well.
