Dress to express!

Women who slip into male identities in order to lead an economic and secure life have been known throughout history for centuries.
Drag kinging opens up the possibility of recognizing gender differences through women's experiences of discrimination, reflecting on them critically and working on them by making them visible. After all, appropriating stereotypical male role models also means maintaining privileges without having to do anything about it.

The European Day of Languages is held on the 26th of September every year. It aims to raise awareness about language learning and linguistic diversity. Thus we are dedicating the current 52 Radiominuten show to the gender inclusive language.

In society, gender inequality is perpetuated by several complex factors, and linguists are aware of those. Gender inclusive language alone won't dismantle structural gender oppression. Rather opposite, gender inclusive language is a key symbolic element in struggle for gender equality,

emphasized Slovenian linguist Branislava Vičar in our interview.

In June's radio show we broadcasted an interview with the author Jasmina Tumbas, an Assistant Professor Global Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University at Buffalo, about her new book "I am Jugoslovenka!" Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism (Manchester University Press, 2022).

According to a report by the United Nations Women, crises such as Covid-19 reinforce existing inequalities. This is why women* and girls* are particularly hard hit by the pandemic and its consequences.
Daniela Banglmayr, Susanne Baumann and Sandra Hochholzer wanted to explore these inequalities in the publication Female positions.

The editors were able to attract female authors from the fields of media, art, science and education for Female Positions. There is also a series of programs of the same name with audio portraits of the authors.

"All quota and then what?"
Austria lags far behind the European average when it comes to gender equality in the film industry. Even though there is currently a kind of "soft" quota for film funding, as the new, second gender report by the Austrian Film Institute shows, there is still no sign of major progress. Time to throw big ideas into the room once again. What tools are needed and for whom? Which stories? Which authors? And also: What kind of working world? What can this industry look like under different, reimagined conditions?
