"Seit der Invasion der USA ist der Irak immer wieder von gewaltsamen Konflikten erschüttert worden. Feministische Autorinnen haben eindrücklich auf die schwierige Situation von Frauen in der irakischen Transformationsgesellschaft hingewiesen. Trotzdem sind Frauen zivilgesellschaftlich aktiv und setzten sich für gesellschaftlichen Wandel ein. Aus der Perspektive irakischer Informantinnen ist die schwierige Situation von Frauen im Irak eng mit problematischen Entwicklungen auf gesamtgesellschaftlicher Ebene verbunden. Strategien zur Veränderung ihrer Situation, auch im Hinblick auf Geschlechterverhältnisse, sind daher in breitere Konzepte von Wandel eingebettet. Daten aus eigener Feldforschung im Irak zeigen, dass Ideen von Wandel stark durch die soziale Positionierung von Frauen (insbesondere Geschlecht, Nationalität und Schicht) geprägt sind. In die Analyse der qualitativen Studie wird daher ein intersektionaler Ansatz nach Floya Anthias integriert." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"Since the US invasion in 2003, Iraq has faced multiple outbreaks of violent conflicts. In that context, feminist authors have stressed the extremely difficult situation of women in an Iraqi society that is undergoing transformation. Despite the difficulties that women are facing, they are actively engaging in change and the transformation of gender relations through NGO activism. As women feel that their situation is closely connected to issues that affect Iraqi society as a whole, strategies for changing gender relations are therefore embedded within broader concepts of social change. An empirical analysis of my own field research conducted in Iraq reveals that ideas about change are strongly influenced by the social positionality of women (in particular gender, nationality and class). Therefore, an intersectional approach (based on Floya Anthias) is incorporated into the qualitative analysis." (author's abstract)... view less
