Feminist Circulations between East and West/Feministische Zirkulationen zwischen Ost und West

Feminist ideas, theories, and people move. In this volume, scholars in cultural and literary studies discuss circulations of feminist and queer positions between East and West. Working on activism in Eastern Europe, on East European literatures, and on literature in German written by authors coming from Eastern Europe, the contributors discuss how parameters of heterogeneity such as gender, sexuality, and origin are treated in different literary, social, and political contexts. Hence, research on queer activism in Ukraine and feminism in Russia are put in conversation with readings of Olga Grjasnowa, Sasha Marianna Salzmann, and Olga Tokarczuk.
