The latter can be traced back not least to the city’s British colonial past. Whi­le trans* persons were visible in pre-colonial India as well as its mythology and literature, they have been criminalised and discriminated against ever since. Numerous projects are now up and running in an ef­fort to‘queer’ Kolkata. Libor Den k ’s contribution(Palacký University Olo­mouc) takes us to a small town in Czechoslovakia du­ring the interwar period. In Nové Mesto na Morave, the town chosen for the case study, urbanisation and industrialisation went hand in hand with the expan­sion of the infrastructure from the mid-19th century onwards. Even though women’s suffrage had been introduced in 1918, with a few exceptions men remai­ned the sole decision-makers, even at the municipal level. Nations and particularly border regions are the sub­ject of the research undertaken by Aswathy Chan­dragiri and Madhurima Das (BITS Pilani). How does the infrastructure change when a region is divided by a border – as in the case of the newly drawn state border separating India and Pakistan in Punjab? For the inhabitants of the region, this poses a challenge in terms of both time and space. The authors show that particularly women and people on low incomes are affected by infrastructural violence and have limited agency, for example with regard to public transport. The article by Yaman Kouli (Heinrich Heine Universi­ty Düsseldorf) also considers the nation concept, but on a completely different level. Kouli aims to pinpoint historical explanations for national characteristics when it comes to the marketing of women’s underwe­ar. To this end, Kouli focuses on the marketing stra­tegies and the images of femininity they convey. The extent to which the underwear is visible or invisible in these images appears to differ from one nation to the next. Can conclusions then be drawn with regard to gender roles and the social status of women? Alexandra Corodan (Academy of Fine Arts Vien­na) studied Ion Grigorescu’s film Masculin-Feminin (1976), which was shown as part of the workshop. Co­rodan considers how gender is conveyed and(de-) constructed in this‘collage’, which revolves around the filmmaker’s relationship with his body and its ma­sculine and feminine aspects. Grigorescu is acutely aware of the(infra-)structures – both technical and political – within which the film was made.
