SINOFZIK, Anna (ed.)
Texte Zur Kunst 36/142 (März 2026) Misogyny

“The current boom in misogynistic dynamics and topoi builds on a long tradition of gender discrimination against women while also – as this issue argues – exploiting recent technological and political developments. Rather than examining individual sexist practices or remarks in isolation, our current issue addresses misogyny as a cross-cultural phenomenon that expresses a deep-seated, albeit often unconscious, derogatory attitude toward women. In doing so, the focus is on how this attitude is manifested in literature, art, and pop culture, as well in prevailing media and sociopolitical conditions.”
—from the editorial
