- 21. September 2026 In der Schweiz wachsen über 134 000 Kinder an mehreren Familienorten auf – sie pendeln zwischen biologischen und sozialen Eltern, Geschwistern und weiteren Bezugspersonen. Diese Studie wirft einen einzigartigen Blick auf das Leben multilokal aufwachsender Kinder im Kanton Zürich. Wie organisieren Eltern ihren Alltag über mehrere Haushalte hinweg? Wie erleben Kinder verschiedene Zuhause und gestalten ihre Beziehungen? Anhand von Fallstudien, Interviews und kindzentrierten Methoden zeigt das Buch, wie Multilokalität Kindheit prägt und neue Formen des Zusammenlebens entstehen lässt. Es bietet Impulse für Politik und Gesellschaft, Familien jenseits traditioneller Normen zu stärken.
- 21. September 2026 Conseillère en santé sexuelle : Certes il y a des fois des déplaisirs dans la sexualité – j’en suis consciente – mais c’est vraiment mon crédo en tant que professionnelle, de ne jamais oublier que la sexualité, ça sert d’abord au plaisir et que la santé sexuelle permet plus de plaisir dans la vie en général et est une notion fondamentale, qui est peut-être un peu méconnue ou minimisée. Et puis, connaissance, parce que je suis convaincue que la connaissance, c’est la meilleure des préventions.La définition que donne cette professionnelle de la santé sexuelle fait écho à celle de l’Organisation internationale de la santé (OMS) qui a érigé la santé sexuelle en tant qu’objectif central des politiques de santé. Pouvoir avoir des relations sexuelles qui soient sources de plaisir est en effet au cœur de la définition internationale. Et pourtant, par la focale mise sur la question des connaissances, cette conseillère enrichit le cadrage de l’OMS qui n’y fait pas directement référence. La mise en œuvre de la santé sexuelle varie donc en fonction des contextes locaux et les individus s’approprient les cadrages internationaux.Par une riche enquête ethnographique menée en Suisse, cet ouvrage analyse comment la santé sexuelle en tant qu’objectif mondial a été définie par les institutions internationales depuis 1970 jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Ensuite, par une comparaison entre deux centres de santé sexuelle, il décortique les manières dont la santé sexuelle est concrètement mise en œuvre actuellement en Suisse. Et, il analyse les significations que prend cette notion au niveau local et quels sont les effets concrets des politiques de santé sexuelle pour les professionnel·le·s de la santé sexuelle, ainsi que pour le public des centres de santé sexuelle. Cette immersion dans l’univers de la santé sexuelle révèle que le passage du niveau global au niveau local conduit à des gains, mais aussi à des pertes, ceci principalement en raison de logiques de genre, de normes biomédicales et de construction sociale des risques.Par son analyse multi-niveaux, ce livre s’adresse à un large public intéressé par les politiques de santé sexuelle : chercheur.se.s et enseignant.e.s en sciences sociales, professionnel.le.s de la santé et personnes œuvrant dans le milieu associatif du domaine de la santé sexuelle.Debergh, Marlyse, La santé sexuelle : un objectif intime et politique.

- 03. August 2026 Queer Farmworkers in SwitzerlandPrisca Pfammatter, Susan ThiemeABSTRACTAgricultural social sustainability is often promoted as a solution to agrarian crises, yet we show that, in practice, it operates as (non)performative: it promises justice while reproducing the very exclusions it claims to remedy. Drawing on 12 months of ethnographic research with queer farmworkers in Switzerland, this article exposes how sustainability frameworks are anchored in and, in turn, anchor the traditional family farm. This normative grounding stabilizes cisheteropatriarchal, racialized, and nationalist agrarian relations. By tracing the everyday practices through which queer farmworkers sustain agriculture, we demonstrate that justice is not delivered by metrics and documents alone but through ongoing negotiation, care, and subversion on the ground. Rather than treating queer lives as supplemental or exceptional, we show how attending to the everyday negotiations through which queer farmworkers navigate and remake agriculture reframes social sustainability as relational, contested, and world-making—and opens space for plural, joyful, and livable agrarian futures.
