Gender Studies

Gender Studies has developed as an academic discipline in the last few decades. As a rule, gender studies is an interdisciplinary field of research, which involves knowledge of philosophy, psychoanalysis, history, anthropology, sociology, political sciences, literary theory and media studies. The basic research topics are the roots of gender knowledge and gender differences. It involves questioning and reviewing of some “mainstream” and “malestream” theories and theorisations of gender in social and humanistic academic production but also a review of some early feminist approaches to gender. In this respect, the methodology and epistemology of gender studies are of crucial importance, as well as gender determination in all key phases of the research procedure (formulation of research questions, selection of methods, sampling information, interpretation or data analysis, writing research papers). Furthermore, particular attention is paid to the gender dimensions of globalisation processes, intercultural comparisons and interculturality, to relations between (new) technologies and gender, to cultural representations of gender and to the analysis of attempts to transform social and political institutions based on specific patterns of power relations between the genders.
