Can a Festschrift be feminist?

  • Andrea Zittlau Universität Rostock

Abstract

This essay collection of the genre of a Festschrift for Sabine Hark honors her achievement for the field of Queer Studies in Germany. All contributors write for the ambitious goal to rethink the world as a place of equity and justice with the help of queer-theory and feminist interventions (as the title of the book promises). Thus, the essays provide readers with the tools – theories – that can help to reveal power structures. However, almost unavoidably, this book follows academic conventions that are already embedded in power structures and shows therefore, how difficult it is to dismantle them.
