The article "Critique of Class Formation: On Division, Inequality, and Class Theories" deals with the increasing social inequality in society. The author argues that various crises such as the financial crisis, the climate crisis, and the COVID-19 crisis exacerbate these inequalities. Using the example of the COVID-19 pandemic, it becomes clear that these inequalities begin with the possibility of isolation and continue globally through the distribution of vaccines and higher death rates along the gap between the rich and the poor. The text discusses various tendencies and developments in research on social inequality and emphasizes the necessity of critical political education to analyze and discuss these issues.

In diesem Artikel diskutiere ich zwei Herausforderungen für Serene J. Khaders Vorschlag einer transnationalen anti-imperialistischen feministischen Ethik. Die erste Herausforderung ist methodologischer Art und wirft die Frage auf, welche epistemischen und politischen Faktoren für Khaders nicht-idealer Theoriebildung eine Rolle spielen. Die zweite Herausforderung stellt sich mit Blick auf die Frage, wie stark Widerstand gegen sexistische Unterdrückung als Grundlage für transnationalen Feminismus tatsächlich ist. In diesem Zusammenhang diskutiere ich außerdem die Frage nach der Beziehung zwischen sexistischer Unterdrückung und Kapitalismus.

Zehn Jahre sub\urban sind ein Grund zum Feiern. Die kritische interdisziplinäre Stadtforschung in deutscher Sprache hat dank sub\urban einen Ort, an dem wir die mannigfaltigen Prozesse diskutieren und theoretisieren können, die Städte auf allen räumlichen Maßstabsebenen prägen. Kein Grund zum Feiern ist hingegen, dass viele dieser Prozesse dazu beitragen, dass wir in Verhältnissen leben, „in denen der Mensch ein erniedrigtes, ein geknechtetes, ein verlassenes, ein verächtliches Wesen ist“ (Marx 1976: 385). Noch immer gilt, dass es radikaler Kritik bedarf, um diese „Verhältnisse umzuwerfen“ (ebd.). Noch immer bedarf es dafür eines Verständnisses des Kapitalismus in seiner je konkreten Ausprägung und in seiner Verwobenheit mit sich wandelnden Herrschaftsformen von Patriarchat, Rassismus und Nationalismus, Homo-, Queer- und Transfeindlichkeit sowie all den anderen Formen des hierarchisierenden Ausschlusses, die für so viele Menschen das Leben zur Hölle machen (Arruzza/Bhattacharya/Fraser 2020; Brown 2018; Federici 2012; Harvey 2017). Radikale Kritik hinterfragt diese im Zeitverlauf sich wandelnden und zwischen Räumen sich unterscheidenden herrschenden Verhältnisse, betreibt mithin Aufklärung über sie, um sie in emanzipatorischer Weise zu verändern, ja zu überwinden.

In many countries of the Global South, the social reproduction of the majority of the population to a large extent takes place outside the capitalist sector. This leads to particular class relations, social relations to nature, and dynamics of conflict. This article asks how we can understand societies in the Global South in terms of a critical theory of capitalism without imposing the categories of the centre economies on them. For this purpose, the analytical concept of structural heterogeneity is proposed, as well as the empirical concept of the need economy. These terms encourage an understanding of structural heterogeneities that goes beyond economics and enables the analysis of current socioecological distribution conflicts. In conclusion, I argue that to understand societies in the Global South, concepts other than those that were developed for the analysis of capitalism in the early industrialised centre economies are needed.

The study focuses on the topic of architecture media representation from a gender perspective. It brings a discursive analysis of professional architectural magazines published in the Czech environment in the 1980s and 1990s, namely Architektura ČSR, Československý architekt and Architekt. The aim is to provide a reflection on the principles of the formation of architectural discourse from the perspective of feminist criticism. The main parameter of our analysis is to evaluate the representation of women architects. We look at how women in architecture are written about, what qualities and characteristics are emphasised, and which of their works are published. We put the findings in the context of the formation of the image of the „successful architect“ and try to trace whether and how this image is gendered or stereotyped. We also focus on whether in this regard there had been any changes in the researched period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Im Jahr 2020 führte die Coronavirus-Krise zu einem Bruch in den Gesellschaften der Welt und deren Alltagsleben. Dieser Artikel ist ein Beitrag zur kritischen Theoretisierung der Veränderungen, die die Gesellschaften im Kontext der Coronavirus-Krise durchmachen. Er stellt die folgenden zwei Frage: Wie haben sich Alltagsleben und Alltagskommunikation in der Coronavirus-Krise verändert? Wie beeinflusst der Kapitalismus das Alltagsleben und die Alltagskommunikation in dieser Krise? Abschnitt 2 beschäftigt sich damit, wie sich der soziale Raum, das Alltagsleben und die Alltagskommunikation durch die Coronavirus-Krise verändert haben. Abschnitt 3 setzt sich mit der Kommunikation von Ideologie im Kontext des Coronavirus auseinander, indem die Kommunikation von Verschwörungstheorien und Falschnachrichten über das Coronavirus analysiert wird. Die Coronavirus-Krise ist eine Existenzkrise der Menschheit und der Gesellschaft. Sie konfrontiert die Menschen in radikaler Weise mit dem Tod und der Angst vor dem Tod. Diese kollektive Erfahrung kann einerseits zu neuen Formen der Solidarität und des Sozialismus führen. Wenn Ideologie und die extreme Rechte sich durchsetzt, so kann es andererseits aber zum Fortschreiten von Krieg und Faschismus kommen. Politisches Handeln und politische Ökonomie sind in einer derartigen tiefen Krise, die die Gesellschaft und das Alltagsleben erschüttert, entscheidende Faktoren.
