SUMMARY:Science Slam Diversity 2025
DESCRIPTION:On 27 May, our Science Slam Diversity will take place for the t
 hird time, where students and researchers from the University of Passau wi
 ll present a wide variety of topics related to diversity to the audience i
 n an entertaining way. If you are interested, please register on Stud.IP 6
 2307 or via e-mail to diversity@uni-passau.de.\n\nThe Science Slam Diversi
 ty will take place in person at ITZ 017, but will also be broadcast online
  via Zoom and simultaneously translated into English by our experienced in
 terpreter Dr. Jackson. \n\nBe there to experience the following exciting 
 contributions:\n\nJulia Wiesmayr: Language you can see – sign language a
 s part of linguistic diversity – This contribution presents the results 
 of several research papers that provide an overview of sign language with 
 interesting facts. (in German)\n\nFiala Skander: I Saw the TV Glow (2024):
  Queer identity formation in and through media – The film ‘I Saw the T
 V Glow’ caused quite a stir in the trans* community on social media and 
 brought tears to many eyes. This article examines the protagonists' search
  for identity and shows how the media can be a helpful guide when it comes
  to the question: ’Who am I really?’ (in German)\n\nSarah Beyvers: Rag
 e against the Machine: Video Games, Queer Play and Ludic Resistance – Vi
 deo gamers often behave in ways that were neither intended nor anticipated
  by game designers. These activities are by no means automatically politic
 al – they are often carried out by players out of pure malice or a picar
 esque desire for disobedience and chaos. However, these other ways of play
 ing can become practices of ludic resistance when players actively use the
 m for political purposes. This article examines the processes that take pl
 ace when these other ways of playing take on political significance.\n\nNi
 na Kunze: As a woman on the shoulders of medieval women in Passau – Medi
 eval women in Passau remain extremely under-researched. This presentation 
 introduces them and reports on research difficulties related to this topic
 . (in German)\n\nDr Jonathan Rose: Painful Pleasure: Gay BDSM Erotica and 
 the Politics of Diversity – Erotic narratives are more than just arousal
  – they reflect and reinforce cultural ideas about identity, power and d
 esire. Pleasure is not just a matter of physical sensation, but can also b
 e a site of negotiation, both between characters and with a broader discou
 rse on (permissible) desire. This contribution critically examines the tro
 pes represented in gay erotica and explores how gender expression, class, 
 ability, or race shape these texts.\n\nDr Vanessa Vollmann: The intersecti
 onal butterfly on hope and feathers – This contribution takes a critical
  look at Emily Dickinson's poem ‘Hope is the thing with feathers...’ a
 nd focuses in particular on power structures that affect women at the inte
 rsection of gender and women of colour at the intersection of race.\n\nNin
 a Riedler and August Krocker: Linguistics saves the world. By a woman to b
 oot – This contribution analyses the science fiction film Arrival (Denis
  Villeneuve, 2016) from a gender perspective: it shows how men, who are st
 ereotypically seen as experts and scientists, are replaced by a woman who 
 not only explains how to communicate, but also ensures world peace and pea
 ceful coexistence with aliens.\n\nBettina Pflugbeil: Rollercoaster, deadli
 nes, hyperfocus, everyday student life – chaos or superpower? – ADHD i
 s much more than the cliché of a fidgety child – students are also affe
 cted and have to find their way through everyday student life full of dead
 lines, distractions and challenges. This presentation explores whether and
  how students can use creative strategies to overcome these obstacles or e
 ven turn them into strengths in order to master the balancing act between 
 chaos and structure – with a good dose of humour and scientific backgrou
 nd. (in German)\n\nDaniela Polzer: Tale as old as Time – Gender Roles in
  Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (2017) – This contribution examines gen
 der concepts using the main character Belle as an example. The focus is on
  whether and how the character presents a progressive female role model, o
 r why this is not the case. (in German)
