institute for queer theory<\/h1>\n

The Institute for Queer Theory (iQt) is a center of research, theorizing and international exchange in the field of gender and sexuality studies as well as queer theory. Commited to social transformation the institute aims at transforming a normative order, which relies on the sex\/gender binary and on dominant heterosexuality. It critically investigates how sex_gender and sexuality are organized in ways that not only privilege heterosexuality and enforce a rigid gender binary, but also secure relations of power inequality and injustice through its entanglement with other social and geopolitical differences. The Institute for Queer Theory is a site where academic debate meets up with political activism and artistic\/cultural practices, and where different forms of knowledge production and articulation form productive coalitions. It has been founded in 2006 by Antke Engel (Dr. phil.). It is situated in Berlin with an additional office in Hamburg. > concept<\/a>

institut f\u00fcr queer theory<\/h1>\n

Das Institut f\u00fcr Queer Theory (iQt) ist ein Zentrum der Forschung, der Theoriebildung und des internationalen Austauschs im Feld der Queer Theory. Es widmet sich der Geschlechter- und Sexualit\u00e4tenforschung sowie ihrer Vermittlung in \u00d6ffentlichkeit und Praxis. Anliegen des Instituts ist es, rigide zweigeschlechtliche und normativ heterosexuelle Geschlechterverh\u00e4ltnisse kritisch zu hinterfragen und zu ver\u00e4ndern. \u00dcber den Fokus auf Geschlecht und Sexualit\u00e4t hinaus, hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, nicht-hierarchische Formen sozialer Differenz zu st\u00e4rken. Das Institut ist ein Knotenpunkt wissenschaftlicher, politischer und k\u00fcnstlerisch-kultureller Auseinandersetzungen. Es wurde 2006 von Dr. Antke Engel gegr\u00fcndet und befindet sich mittlerweile in Berlin, mit einer “Zweigstelle” in Hamburg.
