'… To keep up the illusion of two clearly separated genders our (German) language only knows the two articles “she” and “he”, as well as the related two endings [...]. Everything that is located outside this system is constantly being denied, In contrast to this I want to position a different space for sexuality, a space that is to be explored and that we should fight for, the space looks like this: _ This is certainly not only about opening up spaces for intersexual

Contra-Diction (Magazine, c.1982-?)

Location

Birmingham
United Kingdom
52° 28' 58.6596" N, 1° 53' 36.9312" W

" Contra-Diction has developed out of a couple of Birmingham magazines that have bitten the dust. It is run as a collective, in the loosest sense of the word. Articles and visuals have been contributed mainly by women. Contra-Diction aims to be feminist based magazine covering 'culture'; that is organised culture (music, film, theatre etc) but also using a wider definition of the term culture, about the way we communicate with one another and the way we live our lives and what happens around us.

Feminist Media Production in Europe (funded by FWF 2008-2011)

Women have always played an important role in movements for social justice. Using media to transport their messages, to disrupt social orders and to spin novel social processes, feminists have long recognized the importance of self-managed media. In the past two decades an increasing number of women have taken the tools of media production into their hands; a vital social phenomenon that has gone largely undetected by members of the public, academia, and even sometimes the feminist movement.
