Cassils 2020 Cassils 2020 Short Bio CASSILS 2020 CASSILS 2020 SHORT BIO CASSILS is a gender nonconforming visual artist working in live performance, sculpture, photography, installation, sound design and film. Contemplating the history(s) of LGBTQI+ violence, representation, struggle and survival, Cassils makes their own body the material and protagonist of their performances.

Getsy on Cassils - Artforum International 2020 PRESS the artist’s urine surrounded by the containers used to collect and carry it, PISSED addressed a transgender political struggle via a formal language at once confrontational and uncompromisingly austere.The work was sparked by the Trump administration’s spiteful, reactionary decision to rescindan Obama-era executive order that endorsed the rights of transgender students to use the bathroom of the gender they know themselves to be. In response, Cassils began collecting all the urine they passed since that date. Refusing to keep out of sight, the artist undertook this months-long lifework as a confrontational transgression of the conventional lines between public and private, and the resulting installation offered a defiant material presence that resists the ways in which “privacy” has been weaponized against transgender lives. The fearmongering about bathrooms hinges on compelling trans people to make themselves visible as a means of surveilling and targeting them. This motive is masked as a defense of privacy, the terms of which are defined, narrowly, through the presumption that gender is merely (and strictly) binary, and through the belief that those binary genders need to be segregated because of the dangers of heterosexual lust. Any “right to privacy,” however, excludes anyone who does not fit binary preconceptions, and this exclusion is enforced by institutions that defend the myth that there are only two static genders. Bathrooms have become one of the most visible symbols and sites of the structural disenfranchisement of transgender people. PISSED makes the case that bodily processes are already public and political. Cassils speaks to the politics affecting transgender lives while striving to convey those politics without

Kickstarted with the formation of UFA, the rise of German cinema as a modern form of artistic expression paved the way for film to become an outlet for the reflection, discussion, and criticism of German society. The films’ thematic content included focusing on the lives of those marginalized in society, and within that small subset, the topic of homosexuality had already started to be directly addressed nearly a hundred years ago. Male homosexuality became criminalized in 1871 under Paragraph 175 of the criminal code following the formation of the German Reich, but the trends of attitudes towards homosexuality were both still followed and reflected in German films produced in the periods spanning the Weimar Republic, to the divide of the two Berlins, until right up to the night the Berlin Wall fell.

Mit dieser Schriftenreihe veröffentlichen wir Arbeitsergebnisse und Analysen, die im Kontext des Instituts entstanden sind. Das Institut konzentriert sich auf drei Kernbereiche: 1. die sozialwissenschaftliche Zukunftsfor- schung, 2. das Lern- und Handlungsfeld Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) und 3. die Forschung zu Transfer von Wissen und Innovationen. Das Institut Futur hat 2010 außerdem den ersten Studiengang zur Zukunftsforschung im deutsch- sprachigen Raum eingerichtet. Der weiterbildende Masterstudiengang Zukunftsforschung ver- mittelt – anknüpfend an einen ersten Hochschulabschluss und die qualifizierten Berufserfah- rungen der Studentinnen und Studenten – die Techniken wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens in der 2 Zukunftsforschung und stellt gleichzeitig einen starken Bezug zur Praxis her. Die überzeugenden Abschlussarbeiten von Studierenden aus dem Studienzyklus 2012 sind auch ein Anlass, diese Schriftenreihe zur sozialwissenschaftlichen Zukunftsforschung zu starten. Die Palette der Themen ist entsprechend breit gehalten. Vieles hat explorativen Charakter. Das hat zwei Gründe: Erstens basiert die Zukunftsforschung bisher kaum auf einem konsolidierten wissenschaftlichen Fundament. Ihre Qualitäts- und Gütekriterien sind ebenso in der Diskussion wie ihre wissenschafts- und erkenntnistheoretischen Implikationen. Zweitens ist ihr Gegenstand so allumfassend, dass sich das Feld kaum sortieren, geschweige denn kategorisieren lässt.

    Representations of Same-Sex Love in Public History By Claire Louise HAYWARD A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Kingston University November 2015 2 Contents Page Abstract 3 Acknowledgements 4 List of abbreviations 6 Introduction 7 Chapter One ‘Truffle-hounding’ for Same-Sex Love in Archives 40 Chapter Two Corridors of Fear and Social Justice: Representations of Same-Sex Love in Museums 90 Chapter Three Echoes of the Past in Historic Houses 150 Chapter Four Monuments as les lieux de mémoire of Same-Sex Love 194 Chapter Five #LGBTQHistory: Digital Public Histories of Same-Sex Love 252 Conclusion 302 Appendix One 315 Questionnaire Appendix Two 320 Questionnaire Respondents Bibliography 323 3 Abstract This thesis analyses the ways in which histories of same-sex love are presented to the public. It provides an original overview of the themes, strengths and limitations encountered in representations of same-sex love across multiple institutions and examples of public history. This thesis argues that positively, there have been many developments in archives, museums, historic houses, monuments and digital public history that make histories of same-sex love more accessible to the public, and that these forms of public history have evolved to be participatory and inclusive of margnialised communities and histories. It highlights ways that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*, Queer (LGBTQ) communities have contributed to public histories of same-sex love and thus argues that public history can play a significant role in the formation of personal and group identities. It also argues that despite this progression, there are many ways in which histories of same-sex love remain excluded from, or are represented with significant limitations, in public history.

  • Diaspora, Islam, and Belonging: Conceptualising Queer Muslim Subjectivities in Berlin
    Diaspora, Islam, and belonging: Conceptualising queer Muslim subjectivities in Berlin By Arnold Kovács Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Critical Gender Studies Supervisor: Dr. Nadia Jones-Gailani CEU eTD Collection Second Supervisor: Dr. Vlad Naumescu Budapest, Hungary 2020 Abstract In this thesis, I explore the formation of queer Muslim subjectivities by attending to the multi- faceted ways in which queer people of Muslim backgrounds respond to the temporal and material realities of the matrix of oppression experienced in Berlin, Germany. The project adopts a postcolonial feminist ethnographic approach in order to centre the voices of people constructed as ‘others’ and address the implications of power and positionality on representation in ethnographic knowledge production by foregrounding reflexivity. My analysis is based upon two months of extensive participant observation, as well as eight semi-structured ethnographic interviews, and an interdisciplinary theoretical framework building on scholarship from Religious Studies, Gender and Queer Studies, and Migration Studies. The thesis argues that queer people of Muslim backgrounds cultivate their selves through the articulation of their sense of belonging as they navigate the historically contingent understandings of Islam and sexuality within the context of migration and diaspora. As I further demonstrate, the differing modes of belonging carved out by queer Muslims in Berlin constitute unique ways of reacting to the material realities experienced within the German secular liberal regime. CEU eTD Collection ii Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis is the result of original research; it contains no materials accepted for any other degree in any other institution and no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference.

  • Schwules Museum [Gay Museum] by Andrew Leblanc
    Schwules Museum [Gay Museum] by Andrew Leblanc Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Berlin's Schwules Museum, established in the late 1980s, is a private institution dedicated to preserving, exhibiting, and discovering homosexual history, art, and culture. Located in the Kreuzberg district of former West Berlin, long the center of gay life in the city, the museum is composed of three main divisions: archives, library, and exhibitions. The Mission The Schwules Museum was founded as a "living collection" to present to the public exhibitions, catalogues, essays, lectures, and film screenings. Its targeted audience includes everyone--gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals, and heterosexuals--who would like to inform and be informed, in a professional and scientific manner, on all topics relating to homosexuality, both historically and contemporarily. The museum is a repository for diverse collections--including records of self-help groups, public institutions, and churches, as well as memoirs, oral histories, and literary and artistic works. It is the mission of the museum to build from such diverse sources a continually expanding chronicle of gay social history and to document the history and development of gay liberation movements. Although the museum is interested in all aspects of homosexual history and culture, it has a particular concern with the persecution of gay men and lesbians under fascism. The treatment of gay men and lesbians by the Third Reich is a topic of specialization and continuing research. This topic is dealt with extensively in museum publications and exhibitions, including the famous 1997 exhibit entitled "Goodbye To Berlin? 100 Jahre Schwulenbewegung" [Goodbye to Berlin? 100 Years of the Gay Movement].
