For now… the way we do life is a method
What provisions does it take to live in temporal and spatial in-betweenness, never quite knowing when, or if, return is possible – or even where to? How do we make homes from what can be carried on a migratory road: objects ready to move at any moment, yet still holding the weight of memory and …

Queer Survival, Organizing, and Worldmaking: Report on the Inaugural Summer School of the LGBTQ+ Music Study Group
What does it mean to survive, to resist, to care and connect through music, sound, and queer practice and how can scholarly work engage with this? These questions formed the heart of the inaugural Summer School of the LGBTQ+ Music Study Group, held at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin from 22 to 25 July 2025. Nearly …

Computer Nudes – Körper als Algorithmus, Bildschirm als Leinwand
Ob in den militärischen Rechenzentren Virginias oder in den High-Tech-Labors von Bell: Die Anfänge der Computernutzung waren von männlichen Denk- und Handlungslogiken dominiert. Aus der strukturellen Unsichtbarkeit von Frauen entstand ein Vakuum, das sich in ihrer Bildwerdung kompensierte: Computergenerierte Darstellungen weiblicher Aktmodelle markieren einen Schlüsselmoment der ‚Humanisierung als Sexualisierung‘ digitaler Bildproduktion. Sie überführten den (Geschlechts-)Körper …

Auf dem Weg zur Normalität? LGBTQ+-Familien und ihre Kämpfe um Anerkennung
Im Sommer 2025 konnten viele Christopher-Street-Day-Paraden nur unter massivem Polizeischutz stattfinden. Bereits im Vorfeld wurden sie von rechten, gewaltbereiten Gruppierungen bedroht. Damit wird gezielt versucht, die Sichtbarkeit der LGBTQ+-Community zu unterdrücken. Laut Verfassungsschutz besteht sogar Gefahr für Leib und Leben. Zugleich nimmt die Pluralität an Lebensformen zu: Ob in Schulen, in Kitas oder auf Spielplätzen – …

A blood test can reveal important information about your risk of breast cancer — but the law hasn’t fully caught up with its consequences. BRCA1 and BRCA2 – short for BReast CAncer gene – are the two genes associated with an elevated risk of especially breast and ovarian cancer. People assigned female at birth with …

The “Encounter” is not Important: Living with My Transfeminine Beard
Many people assume that queer rights movements are primarily about acceptance or visibility. But this perspective risks reducing queerness to a plea for recognition within the boundaries of a cisnormative world. I want to suggest something else: that trans materialism – as a theory, a framework, and a lived practice – is not merely an …

Frankenstein’s Monsters Finding Home
This dreamy poem of trans~formation was written in an attempt to envision a trans materialist utopia. In these verses, we find ourselves at the beginning of this emergence; a post-gender and post-capitalist era in which inherited prejudice and discrimination is fading as collective responsibility is taken and we’re learning to inter~be. Where borders have vanished …

Right to the City – Trans Materialism and Third Spaces in Berlin
Public spaces are shaped by us and, in turn, they shape us. Too often, however, they are commodified, reduced to grids and coordinates designed for control, measurement, and consumption (Lefebvre 1996). Such commodification results in spaces that can feel sterile and soulless, affecting those who enter them and imposing certain behavioral rules. Examples range from …
