Case studies examine how language shapes identity in gender debates, suggesting deeper political implications.
The authors examine the link between identity and power in recent controversies over gender-inclusive language. Their analysis then focuses on two case-studies: the place of hermaphroditism in early modern Spanish medicine and gender sub-cultures in 1920s Berlin. These casestudies illuminate how struggles over language are central to broader political conflicts over identity, belonging, and the maintenance of the gender binary.
