The State as a Fraternal Community - The Aspiration for Community Without Community

Summary/Abstract: It can be presumed that the state as a fraternal community arises as the result of the formation of the system of the modern state, liberalism and neoliberalism. By emphasizing the importance of separating the private (societal-economic) from the public (state-political), the basis for a threefold possibility of female alienation is established. The first alienation is made evident by her queer emergence from the sphere of the private (a free market society) and the second one comes with her artificial entrance into the public sphere, where she assumes the established models of behaviour of a patriarchally structured society/state. Finally, women in the sphere of the family are placed in a pre-private area which is not as yet a part of the private sector of society. With the creation of a modern superstate as an internationally globalized public community, the possibility for the threefold alienation of women is set into place.
