- Die Angst aus den 1970ern vor einer „Überbevölkerung” oder dem dystopischen Narrativ einer „Bevölkerungsbombe” scheint heute vergessen zu sein. Bevölkerungsreduktion und Bevölkerungskontrolle sind in aktuellen Klima- und Entwicklungspolitiken zu Tabuwörtern deklariert worden – es geht vielmehr um reproduktive Rechte, Familienplanung und sexuelle Aufklärung. Gleichzeitig erstarken im Globalen Norden Initiativen und...

Gleichzeitig warnen marxistische Kritiker*innen vor einer verkürzten Diskussion, die Klasse...

Er durchdrang auch intime Beziehungen, beförderte ein Wissen über begehrenswerte und deviante Körper und Lebensweisen und legitimierte staatliche Eingriffe und Regulierungen. Mit dem formalen Ende des Kolonialismus sind diese Mechanismen...
