Abstract

Der dunkle Herrenanzug ist mehr als ein gängiges Kleidungsstück im beruflichen Alltag. Eine soziologische Viskursanalyse macht deutlich, wie vermeintlich „oberflächliche“ Aspekte von Kleidung tief verankerte Praxen von gesellschaftlicher Inklusion/Exklusion und symbolischer Gewalt zwischen den Geschlechtern darstellen. Das Dilemma zwischen Imitation und Kontrast macht grundsätzliche Positionierungen zu Geschlechtertheorien und Gesellschaftspraxis sichtbar. In der globalisierten Medienkultur werden mit Bildern von internationalen politischen Events emotional aufgeladene Narrative über Geschlechterverhältnisse erstellt und perpetuiert. Der Beitrag wirft einen Blick auf das Verhältnis von Körper, Geschlecht, Mode, Macht, Politik und Medien. In diesem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen historischen, kulturellen und globalisierten Kontexten werden Bilder und Inszenierungen von Politiker_innen in Medien beleuchtet und hinterfragt.

abstract = "The paper is placing an exemplary focus on fashion and the body and examines the visible part of gendered relations within the contested field of politics. What is new about the perspective here is that it starts from a common, historically established piece of clothing − the dark suit − in order to relate to macro-structural principles of the gender order and the repetitive practice of exclusion in politics. On the basis of a visual discourse analysis − a vis-course analysis, so to say − of group photos taken at political events like summits, the text traces fashion practices marking the field of masculinity and power. The global visual political communication sends clear signals: nothing changes. Women are (still) the exception, the other. No matter how women devise their roles, they remain imprisoned in a Double bind. And this fact of a lose-lose situation is conceived as symbolical violence here. ",
