Zusammenfassung

„I find hope in language“ (Hillman 2008:152) erklärt die US-amerikanische Spoken-Word-Künstlerin Thea Hillman hoffnungsvoll in ihrem autobiographischen Erzählband Intersex (For Lack of A Better Word) (2008, im Folgenden abgekürzt als Better Word). Doch die intergeschlechtliche Aktivistin beschwört nicht nur die reparativen, heilenden Anteile von Sprache, sondern kennt auch das gefährliche und verletzende Potential von Sprachhandeln und fragt selbstkritisch: „[H]ow many times have I used words as weapons” (ebd.:143). Hillmans Texte kreisen um die Ambivalenz von Sprache/Sprachhandeln und die Verflechtungen mit Geschlecht und Gewalt.
