The Representation of Female Sexuality in Pop Culture When it comes to female sexuality in pop culture, the portrayal is often skewed toward the male gaze. From movies to music videos, women are often objectified and reduced to sexual objects meant for male pleasure. However, it’s worth looking beyond the surface and taking an analysis … Continue reading The representation of female sexuality in popular culture: a feminist analysis→
A Feminist Perspective As a feminist writer, I have often heard the argument that nudity and eroticism are interchangeable terms. This notion infuriates me because it completely disregards the female body and reduces it to mere sexual objectification. In this blog post, I will discuss the difference between nudity and eroticism from a feminist perspective. … Continue reading Nudity vs. Erotica→
Similar to the FEMEN activists, the members of the “Free the Nipple” campaign often use their naked torsos as banners. Yet their goals are not nearly as diverse. Nor have they chosen the entire patriarchy as their adversary, but are working on one question: “Why are men allowed to show their naked torsos in public … Continue reading NAKED IN PUBLIC 3: Free the Nipple Campaign→
On March 11, 2013, Tunisian Amina Sbouï published a bare-chested self-portrait on her Facebook page. “My body belongs to me and is not the source of anyone’s honor,” she had written on her naked torso. In doing so, she sparked a furious controversy in Islamic-led Tunisia. She received death threats. A Salafist preacher publicly called … Continue reading Naked in Public 2: Nakedness as a form of protest (FEMEN)→
In the sorority folder we got when we moved into the villa, there are three pages of justifications for barefoot running alone, divided into medical, aesthetic and spiritual arguments. Barefoot running is supposed to increase one’s energy level, provide for faster muscle regeneration, alleviate menstrual problems, and so on. We have to memorize it all. … Continue reading Barefoot culture→

And even today, some fathers get a rash when their pubescent daughters want to go to school belly-free. Like all body parts … Continue reading The shadowy existence of the belly button→
Once again Harvestehude, the Hamburg district where the Gamma Xi Delta Sorority’s villa is located, is the talk of the town. About five hundred young people had arranged to party there on the Alster meadows – the same place where Nina danced naked in the moonlight some month ago (see Trust Walk). The background of … Continue reading Hamburg police break up large party at the Alster→
In the meantime, the English translation of my story “Monica’s Basement” is also available. In this translation I have revised, expanded and rearranged the original text. I also gave it a new cover, because the old one was not very expressive. The old cover did not make it clear what the story was about at … Continue reading Sandra Manther: Monica’s Basement→
Apparently, two young people from Hamburg Harvestehude took my novella “Trust Walk” too literally last Friday evening and walked naked through the district. It is still true that in Hamburg it is not per se forbidden to show oneself undressed in public. It only becomes difficult at the moment when citizens feel harassed by seeing … Continue reading Naked through Harvestehude→
