Отговорно родителство или забавно майчинство? Динамика и противоречия в конструирането на родителската фигура в българското политическо пространство
Responsible Parenting or Funny Motherhood? Dynamics and Contradictions in the Construction of the Parental Figure in Bulgaria

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the diverse public representations of parenting, mothering and fathering in contemporary Bulgaria and aims to explore some of the narratives, claims and gendered implications on which they rely. Two contradictory types of representations are analyzed – the first one is construed around the image of the responsible parent and the second one around а humorous vision of motherhood. While the responsibilizing representations are situated within a global intensive and deterministic parenting culture which naturalizes the gendered expectations towards mothers and fathers, the humorous ones pro- duces new emancipatory visions of motherhood and femininity.
