Jenseits von Tradition Modernität und Veränderung männlicher Lebensweisen in der Migration als Provokation für die (Sexual-) Pädagogik

authored by

Abstract

Present issues and problems of sex education focus on pedagogy of manifold lifestyles meant to open up a variety of gender-related, sexual forms of experience to the subjects of educational processes. Accordingly, heterogeneous sexualities, lifestyles, couple relationships, or forms of family life and friendship are focused upon. In contrast, intercultural discourses tend to attribute rather traditional lifestyles to Muslim migrants, based on strictly heterosexual relationships and patriarchal dominance. Following a critical reflection on "foreign masculinity", the author reconstructs gender-related sexual processes of change among Iranian-born men in migration and interprets these as processes of learning and education. The autobiographic testimonies given by the interviewees represent a challenge to immigration society in that they require it to reflect upon its inherent hetero-normative patterns of order which limit and regulate the diversity and variability of gender-related sexual lifestyles.
