Forschungsplattform GAIN - Gender: Ambivalent In_Visibilities Overview

The interdisciplinary research platform “GAIN - Gender: Ambivalent In_Visibilities” deals with complex processes of intersectional gendered invisibilities. It was established at the University of Vienna in May 2020 and will be active for four years. GAIN is truly interdisciplinary, as six faculties are involved: the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Philological and Cultural Studies, the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Faculty of Philosophy and Educational Science, the Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies and the Faculty of Catholic Theology. The different perspectives brought to bear on questions of in_visibility and in_visibilisation thus inform, question and supplement each other. In particular, the platform is dedicated to researching ambivalence in connection with processes that produce intersectionally gendered in_visibilities: For although being visible is a prerequisite for being perceived politically, it is not to be equated with political agency. On the contrary, visibility determined by others can also have a disempowering effect and thus reinforce inequality(s). Accordingly, GAIN analyses how invisibility is connected to intersectional gendered power constellations, but also produces resistance against them.
