Das Denken der Transdifferenz in Bezug auf Gender als grundlegende soziale Kategorie
Thinking transdifference related to gender as a basic social category

The socio-critical impact of German language literature in Austro-Hungary

Summary/Abstract: The paper demonstrates how the basic social category gender can be analysed in literary texts of the late 19th century in order to track down historical gender discourse and its manifold positions, to trace it back to its early latent phase and show its diachronic development. The application of the sociological concept of intersectionality and the cultural-hermeneutic concept of transdifference to Austro-Hungarian German language texts aims at identifying the underlying socio-critical potential with an emphasis on gender as a category of analysis.
