Geschlechterverhältnisse jenseits der Norm

How is something 'other' possible in relation to patriarchal gender relations and hegemonic masculinity? How can gender relations be captured sociologically in order to analyse the persistence of domination and other aspects? Situated in the triangle of women's and gender studies, sociology of masculinity and queer-feminist perspectives, the author develops a sociological modelling that differentiates various gender relations and their structures. In doing so, she analyses gender sociological concepts in terms of power and substantiates them with a diverse concept of gender.
