Sexarbeit ist nach wie vor ein politisch stark umkämpftes Feld. Der Begriff bezeichnet eine konsensuelle sexuelle oder sexualisierte Dienstleistung zwischen volljährigen Geschäftspartner_innen gegen Entgelt oder andere materielle Güter und wird auf verschiedene Weisen verwendet.

The aim of this work is to critically look at how the female presidential candidates in 2013 were reflected in the Czech press and assess whether that somehow differed from the way the male candidates were presented. Presidential elections were a milestone in the history of the Czech Republic, when the head of state was elected directly by the citizens. We pose a question whether this election was also "direct" and equal in the reflection of the media, or underlined gender stereotypes. The axis of the work is the display of gender in the media, especially in relation to women in high-ranking positions in politics or female politicians aspiring for them. This reflection is viewed through the lens of feminist media criticism. The theoretical part is complemented by an introduction to political communication, Czech and international studies and the current situation of women in Czech politics. Then I will present the paper's methodology. In the analytical part, by using quantitative content analysis I will focus on the presentation of female and male candidates in five Czech newspapers. There will also be a qualitative analysis of selected articles interesting from a gender perspective. Key words Female president, president, elections, gender, gender stereotypes, feminism, media, media reflection

Das Projekt re.act.feminism, von den Berliner Kuratorinnen Bettina Knaup und Beatrice E. Stammer initiiert, konzipiert und realisiert, hat über fünf Jahre in ausgreifender Weise erkundet, wie ein Anfang zu einem thematisch fokussierten Zugang zur Geschichte von Performance-Kunst gesetzt werden kann. Der thematische Fokus wie die Adressierung basieren auf einem aktuellen, neu konturierten Interesse an der Geschichte feministischer Positionen in der Kunst seit den 1960er Jahren. Die Kopplung der Formate Ausstellung, Sammlung, kontextualisierende, diskursive Veranstaltungen sowie Online-Präsentation erlaubte es, eine Reihe von Zugangsmöglichkeiten für unterschiedliche Nutzer_innenkreise durchzuspielen. Die Setzungen der Projektes sollen im Folgenden vorgestellt und diskutiert werden, wobei Fragen nach dem ‚Archiv Werden‘, nach dem Sammeln von (medialen) Artefakten und Spuren vergangener Aufführungen und dem Zugang zu ihnen in verschiedenen Präsentationsformen im Zentrum stehen werden.
