'Die Rhetorik im deutschen Bundestagswahlkampf 2002 wurde entscheidend vom Schlagwort 'Familie' geprägt, während Frauen- und Gleichstellungspolitik eine nur marginale Rolle spielten. Die Studie fragt nach den Ursachen der Engführung von Frauen- auf Familienpolitik im Wahlkampf. Die Analyse programmatischer Aussagen der fünf großen bundesdeutschen Parteien, der Arbeit der Wahlkampfzentralen sowie der Presseberichterstattung im Vorfeld der Wahlen zeigt, dass die Refamiliarisierung der geschlechterpolitischen Debatte im Bundestagswahlkampf 2002 entscheidend von den maskulin geprägten Wahlkampfstäben getragen wurde. Ihr mangelndes geschlechterpolitisches Differenzierungsvermögen sowie die Forderung nach Plakativität und medialer Dramatisierung formten aus frauen- und familienpolitischen Themen ein Amalgam, in dem Frauen vornehmlich als Mütter angerufen wurden und Väter unsichtbar blieben. Gleichstellungspolitisch brisante Themen wurden so nicht nur dethematisiert, sondern auch delegitimiert. Die bundesdeutschen Medien be- und verstärkten durch ihren routinisierten Indexierungshabitus die Dethematisierung von Frauenpolitik.' (Autorenreferat)... view less

'The rhetoric of the German federal election campaign was characterized by the term 'family', while women's and equal opportunity politics played only a residual role in the election debate. Our study investigates the causes for this reduction of women's policy to family policy in the election campaign. We analyzed the programmatic statements of the five major parties, the strategies employed by the campaign headquarters and the national press reports in the months heading up to the elections. The main finding is that the refamiliarization of gender debates was primarily due to the masculinist frames within the campaign headquarters. Campaign strategists for the most part exhibited little differentiated knowledge regarding gender issues. Moreover, their need for polarization and dramatization of the campaign formed a mixture of women's and policy issues that addressed women only as mothers - while for example leaving fathers completely out of the discourse frames. During the campaign, equal opportunity issues were not only dethematized but also delegitimized. The German media supported this delegitimation by way of indexing issues according to weight they had acquired in the campaigns.' (author's abstract)... view less
