Rebecca Endler’s Dimensions of Patriarchal Design

  • Saskia Ketz Fachhochschule Dortmund

Abstract

In which expressions does patriarchal language appear? What is the impact of gender-specific design for navigation in public space? Why do Wikipedia articles, algorithms, and speech activation systems encourage traditional stereotypical perspectives? When does the design of living and working environments act in a discriminatory manner? The freelance journalist Rebecca Endler focusses on these questions in her debut book Das Patriarchat der Dinge: Warum die Welt Frauen nicht passt. In nine chapters, she examines material and immaterial patriarchal design in the Western world.
