Geschlechtliche Ambiguität in der Medienberichterstattung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland von den 1970er Jahren bis zur Jahrtausendwende

该项目审查了媒体如何看待联邦共和国德国从1970年代到千年之交的性别模糊性。这种模糊性可以分为两性变异、易装癖和变性。两性人之间的差异通常被视为与自然有关，而易装癖和变性则被归因于有关人的自由意志：这种分类正在引发一种比较的视角。媒体分析包括重要和流行的印刷媒体以及无线电广播和电视。该分项目侧重于关于医学（包括精神病学和心理学）、法律和体育领域的公共辩论。这是因为性别区分在每一种情况下都起着至关重要的作用：在医学领域，性别归属来自身体和精神类别，而医学科学家甚至能够进行性别重新分类。法律领域关注的是婚姻状况、其变化和后果。在体育竞赛领域，男女之间的差别很大。此外，性别归属突出表现在对运动员身体/身体的关注上。在历时的角度来看，分项目审查的问题是否有一个“美国化”的德国辩论，并在强度和时间间隔发生。在这样做的时候，该项目打算将1980年变性法之前的讨论与即将到来的美国-美国性别研究联系起来，该研究强调对性别归属的更具建构主义的看法，

The project examines how media perceived gender ambiguity in the Federal Republic of Germany from the 1970s till the turn of the millennium. This ambiguity can be divided into intersex variations, transvestism and transsexuality. Intersex variations are usually seen as linked to nature, while transvestism and transsexuality are attributed to the free will of the concerned persons: this classification is provoking a comparative perspective. Media analysis includes significant and popular printed media as well as radio broadcasting and television. The subproject focuses on public debates about the fields of medicine (including psychiatry and psychology), law and sports. That is because gender distinction plays an essential role in each case: in the field of medicine gender affiliation is derived from physical and mental categories while medical scientists are even able to conduct gender reassignments. The field of law is concerned with marital status, its changings and consequences. In the field of sports competitions are divided by gender distinctions. In addition gender affiliation is highlighted by an expressive focus on the body/physicalness of the athletes. In a diachronic perspective the subproject examines the question whether there was an "americanization" of the German debate and in which intensity and temporal intervals it occured. In doing so the project intends to connect discussions before the transsexual-law of 1980 with the upcoming of the US-American Gender Studies which emphasize a more constructivist perception of gender affiliation since the
