Theresa Heyd @theresaheyd.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Wir haben uns das Motto dieser Jahrestagung - Classics, Standards and Values in English Studies - zu Herzen genommen und sagen: wenn es ein Feld der Anglistik gibt, das interdisziplinär wirkt, radikal Neues hervorbringt und doch strukturell bedroht ist, dann ist es die Erforschung von Geschlecht. 180 8
![Gender and queer studies are, in short, a disciplinary pillar or in the words of the CfP of this year's Anglistiktag one of the standards of Anglophone Studies. The understanding of "sex as a result of gender ideology as opposed to sex giving us a foundation for gender" (Halberstam in conversation with Judith Butler) remains revolutionary, even as bodily materialities and affects have come into focus recently. "Revers[ing] the order of the relationship between the body and ideology" (ibid.), the fundamental insight into the fluidity of our gendered practices, aesthetics, bodies and tastes informs scholarship from Shakespeare to sociophonetics. At a historical moment where gendered and queer practices are under attack both at the level of lived lives and institutional structures, Anglophone Studies should defend, celebrate and champion its longstanding tradition in this epistemological tradition.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f5bms7o7g322jceaacbelwbn/bafkreicmipqg4ni5ngitr2toswwme3lqcaerbnawc5jbifcrba2vjzolrm)
