In den letzten Jahren haben nicht nur Mobilisierungen gegen Feminismus und 'Gender', sondern auch die Kommerzialisierung und der inflationäre Gebrauch des Wortes "que er" in Alltag und Wissenschaft stark zugenommen. Dazu kommen alarmierende Aneignungsbestrebungen sozialer Bewegungen wie die Querdenker_Innen im Zuge der COVID-19-Pandemie. Mehr denn je sind Gender Studies und que erende Theorien daher auf die Entwicklung emanzipatorischer Gegenstrategien angewiesen. Mit "Querulieren" leihen sich die Autor_Innen einen Begriff mit eigener Geschichte im deutschsprachigen Raum, den sie aufgreifen, durchbrechen, verschieben und umfunktionieren. Es geht um eine interdisziplinäre und mehrdimensionale Erkundungstour que erulierender, d.h. normativitäts-, binarismus- und neoliberalismuskritischer Störmomente in Kunst, Medien und Wissenschaft. Statt für ein Entweder-Oder machen sich die Autor_Innen für ein Sowohl-als-Auch, Weder-Noch und Dazwischen stark. Die Beiträge nehmen vor allem die mikropolitische, intentionale, künstlerisch-mediale, rezeptive und epistemologische Dimension des Störens in den Blick und verdeutlichen ihre Formen und Effekte etwa an Arbeiten von Cindy Sherman, Hannah Höch, Akasegawa Genpei und Maria Eichhorn, anhand politisch-karnevalesker Räume oder des indigenen Nordamerikas. Die Beitragsvielfalt, die von wissenschaftlichen Artikeln, Essays, Duetten und Projektdokumentationen bis hin zu einer mehrstimmigen Text-Bild-Collage, einer Gedicht- und Bildstrecke, einem Zine und einem partizipativen Kunstprojekt reicht, lässt an einem Umstand keinen Zweifel: Der Mehrwert des Que erulierens liegt in der Dekonstruktion, Destabilisierung und Hinterfragung machtvoller und normierender Strukturen, im Anstoßen notwendiger Veränderungs- und Transformationsprozesse und nicht zuletzt in der Freude am beharrlichen Infrage-Stellen und Spaß-Verderben.

Star Trek the Three-Minute Universe

A freelance hit man takes a unique approach: the client doesn't know he's hired the killer until after the murder. "Taut, well-paced, full of surprises and sparky New York dialogue." — The Times (London).

Kill Fee

New York police officer Marian Larch must find the murderer of a thief who had been stealing personal items from backstage at a Broadway theater. By the author of You Have the Right to Remain Silent.

A Mystery with Marian Larch

The Apostrophe Thief

Pillars of Salt

A playwright searches the theater for a crazed saboteur Sylvia Markey sits in her dressing room, holding her cat’s head in her hands. Just the head—the body is nowhere to be found. This gruesome act of violence was committed just a few minutes before curtain, and Sylvia has no time to grieve. She collects herself, and gets ready to perform. She makes it halfway through the second act before her nerves get the best of her, and she vomits onstage. As the run continues, so does the sabotage, and the unknown troublemaker attacks actors, vandalizes the set, and hurls acid at one of the designers. To playwright Abigail James, the meaning is clear: Someone is trying to murder her play. The police do all they can, but it will take someone who understands theater to unravel the mystery. This is a matter of revenge—and Abigail will settle it backstage.

Menschen, Dinge und Konzepte sind weltweit in Bewegung geraten. Welche Effekte haben diese vielfältigen Wanderungsbewegungen zwischen Kulturen und Disziplinen auf politisches Handeln und auf die wissenschaftliche Praxis? Wie lassen sich die unterschiedlichen Migrations- und Transformationsprozesse in Bezug auf Geschlechterverhältnisse analysieren? Die inter- und transdiziplinären Beiträge dieses Bandes (aus Kultur-, Sozial-, Politik- und Rechtswissenschaften) nehmen nicht nur die Migration von Menschen, sondern auch die von kulturellen Artefakten sowie von Ideen und Konzepten in den geschlechterwissenschaftlichen Blick.

A clumsy robotics researcher scrambles to cover up a double homicide Despite his name, King Sarcowicz is hardly regal. A rumpled scientist, he spends every waking minute in his lab, tinkering with the robots he thinks will make human soldiers obsolete. It seems impossible that this gentle soul could create a killing machine, and in fact, he never will. Long before his robot is operational, King himself will become a killer. Working late in his lab, King commits a pair of clumsy blunders that lead to the deaths of two of his fellow scientists. In shock, he disappears into the streets of New York. When he’s finally confronted by NYPD detective Marian Larch, he lies to save his own skin. To discover what caused the tragedy in King’s lab, Larch will have to do more than outsmart this brilliant scientist—she’ll have to think like him too. Good King Sauerkraut is the 3rd book in the Marian Larch Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

A madman points a gun at the NYPD's Marian Larch, and prepares to pull the trigger. She charges, disarming him before he can fire the shot.

To save Holland's career, Larch testifies that she was the one who fired the final shot. She doesn't care what happens; she doesn't want to be a cop anymore. Even when Internal Affairs rules the shooting a righteous kill, Larch plans to quit at the end of the week. But a lot can happen in seven days. When an actress friend asks Larch for help after her Broadway theater is robbed, NYPD's toughest female detective stakes out the Great White Way – and discovers a highly theatrical murder.

»Queer Studies« erforschen vielfältige Identitäten jenseits heteronormativer Diskurse und plädieren zugleich für eine grundsätzliche Identitätskritik, bei der der Fokus auf den machtpolitisch wichtigen Kategorien der Geschlechter und Sexualitäten liegt. Dieser Sammelband lotet das Verhältnis von queerem Alltagswissen und queeren Alltagspraktiken sowie akademischem Wissen neu aus und verzahnt die Analyse der Produktion, Distribution und Konsumption von solchem Wissen miteinander. Die Beiträge gehen den Un-/Möglichkeiten queerer Politiken aus verschiedenen disziplinären und inter-/transdisziplinären Blickwinkeln sowie individuellen Selbstverortungen nach.

Singe si rude de singe

Virgil is a businessman, and his product is murder. With operatives scattered across New York, he needs only a few thousand dollars and a photo to erase an unsuspecting citizen from the earth. Virgil's business is boutique, exclusive, and highly confidential. None of his killers know his face. None of them even know his last name. The system is perfect, unbreakable – until Virgil crosses Marian Larch, the toughest detective in the New York Police Department. A retired businessman is shot with a silencer while riding a crosstown bus, and no one sees the gunman escape. A similar murder occurs on a packed subway car, but this time a witness gets a glimpse of the shooter. Larch doesn't know it, but she's just stumbled onto the strangest cases of her career. And while the invisible hitman will lead her to Virgil, the kingpin of murder won't go down without a fight. Fare Play is the 6th book in the Marian Larch Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

When four well-dressed men are found there, handcuffed together and shot through their eyes, it’s up to Larch to find their killer.
