Annesiz Kizlar: Modern Babalarin Modern Kizlari

Author(s): Aksu Bora / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 61/2010

Although questioning the past has widely been on the agenda lately, the gender perspective of this therapeutic connection with the past is often neglected. But one has to recognize that, a retrospective questioning of the past, that encounters the analyses of the relationship between the personal and the collective memories, cannot be actualized without taking the gender dimension into account. This article expounds that, the ‘new woman’ typology created by modernization invalidates ‘the mother’ and the ‘difference’ that the mother represents. This negligence in return, leads to an understanding of equality which confines itself into the norms defined by the father only.

Annotated Bibliography of Journals and Books on Gender Issues in Serbia 1991–2003

Author(s): Biljana Dojčinović,Jelena Aranđelović,Minja Bujaković,Radojka Jevtić,Mina Marković,Marina Milošević,Teodora Todorić Milićević / Language(s): English / Issue: 8/2018

This bibliography was initiated as a project of the Center for Women’s Studies in Belgrade in 2003, but remained unfinished until 2018. Its original aim was to present the books and periodicals from the field of feminist studies published in Serbia to feminist theoreticians and activists outside the Yugo-sphere. Individual articles were not included because, in the period presented, there were too many of them for an overview in a single text. Nowadays, this bibliography gives us the insight into the feminist knowledge production in the 1990s in Serbia – the most difficult period in the recent history of Serbia and the whole former Yugoslavia. For new generations, it is a reminder of our efforts to broaden views and to endure in the never-ending struggle.

ANTIFAŠISTIČKI POKRET ŽENA U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI U VREMENU OD 1937. DO 1941. GODINE

Author(s): Dana Begić / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 1/1965

Antifašistički pokret žena u Bosni i Hercegovini u periodu od 1937-1941. godine je dio opšteg revolucdonamo-demokratskog pokreta u zemlji, koji se razvijao pod uticajem i rukovodstvom KPJ u godinama neposredno pred II svjetski rat. Činjenica da je KPJ bila organizator naprednog kretanja, da je svojom taktikom borbe protiv režima aktivizirala radne mase, da je uticala na društveno-politička zbivanja u zemlji, da je u sklopu mnogih zahtjeva postavila zahtjev političko-ekonomske ravnopravnosti žena, uticale su da se prilikom izučavanja istorije KPJ istražuje i proučava kao posebna tema problem položaja žena i nastajanje antifašističkog pokreta žena.

Archívne dokumenty k výskumu spolkového života v meste Košice v období 1867 – 1914

Author(s): Nikoleta Lattová / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 2/2016

In the second half of the 19th century in Hungary there was an enormous increase in the number of associations. While in 1862 there were 579 registered associations, in 1878 it was already 3995. The associations had no duty to keep administration paperwork and agenda. They were acting as independent communes and as a result of this were autonomous written records and administration paperwork. Public authorities had no right to interfere in their own administration records, they just might have consulted them. The way how the written records of each association were kept and preserved for the future generations depended on its individual "conscientious" members. This has resulted in a fact that the researchers who are dealing with the issues of administration record keeping have access mainly to incomplete and fragmentary archive documents. The aim of the article is to present the conditions of the archival historical sources that are related to the research of community life and life in associations in the city of Kosice in 1867 – 1914. The research was conducted in archives and libraries located in the investigated city of Košice, as well as in the same type of institutions in Budapest. Available historical sources particularly include the articles of associations, reports to the police headquarters and own documents and records of associations themselves. These include documents such as speeches, annual reports, reports on general meetings, almanacs, journals, publications published by associations and issues of memorial books published on the occasion of special anniversaries to commemorate the founding of association.

Asociaționism cultural și academic în perioada interbelică: Reuniunea Femeilor Creștine din Cluj, 1925-1931

Author(s): Ana-Maria Stan / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2010

This paper is an in-depth study dedicated to a very special interwar feminine association – The Reunion of Christian Women (R.F.C.). The association was created in the Transylvanian city of Cluj in 1925, after a series of economic and social difficulties – including massive anti-Semitic demonstrations requesting Numerus Clausus – had shaken the Romanian universities and aimed from its very beginning to focus on helping ”Christian students and pupils” or, in other words, to encourage and protect the education of Romanians, in a city which was still largely dominated by the Hungarian and Jewish elites. The peculiarity of the R.F.C. also resided in the fact that most of its members were wives of the academic staff working at the Romanian University of Cluj or highly trained, even academic women themselves. The author has split the article in three main parts. First, there is a short presentation of the socio-economic and cultural scene of the city of Cluj in the 1920s, arguing about the necessity of such an organism as the R.F.C. In the second part, we present the rules which governed this society, its main and secondary objectives, as well as provide a biographical and prosopografical analysis of its ruling committee and its different types of members. The third part describes in detail the strategies and activities which were decided upon and carried out by the Reunion of Christian Women, commenting upon their success and/or efficiency. These data outline that the R.F.C. had significant financial funds and was one of the most influential, respected and well-managed civil associations in the interwar Cluj. Besides struggling to set up a student restaurant and a student hostel, the R.F.C provided ample and varied support to the youngsters, paying tuitions and exam fees, providing clothes, food and teaching supplies and even helping them to find jobs and start an independent life. Its members were also very interested in debating the role and place of women in the modern society, considering that women had to be taken into account as “partners or collaborators of the State”, especially in the educational and cultural fields. Unfortunately, there is no documentary evidence of the Reunion of Christian Women beyond the year 1931; consequently a complete look at its evolution is not possible. Despite this circumstance, the present research offers enough information in order to situate the Reunion of Christian Women from Cluj at its due place in the academic, cultural and feminine Romanian history and stimulate further studies on similar topics.

Author(s): İnan Yüksel / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 32/2016

According to the Kültepe Tablets, there were intensive trades between the Assyrian merchants and the Anatolian kingdoms.

In this study, benefitting from the Kültepe tablets which have been published since today, the family relations of the Assyrian Merchants with their wives, their commercial partnerships, individual activities of the Assyrian women traders, how they help their husbands in trade are going to be clarified with the documents.

At the Intersection of Musical Culture and Historical Legacy: Feminist Musicology in Poland

Author(s): Marta Beszterda / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2017

In Poland, feminist perspectives in the field of musicology are still notonly very rare, but also hold a highly problematic status. Both an overviewof relevant Polish literature and scholars’ experiences reveal a two sided problem within Polish feminist musicology, where there is on theone hand a great disregard for the study of intersections between sex,gender and music, and on the other hand a significant controversy overhow to approach the subject once it is acknowledged. The challenges which today’s feminist musicology in Poland needs to confront, areconnected with complex and very often ambivalent way in which classicalmusic culture and the feminist discourse have been shaped sincethe beginning of the communist era (1945-1989). Reaching back to thatperiod, various historical, political and social factors have influencedthe study of women and gender in the contemporary Polish musicology.Three equally crucial issues are investigated in order to understandthe status of feminist musicology in Poland: 1) the challenges Polishmusicology has had to face due to the communist propaganda; 2) theway in which communist reality has shaped the attitude to feminismin the society; 3) the way in which history of Polish classical music isinfluenced by the figure of Grażyna Bacewicz. The essay characterizes each of these phenomena and presents how they may have contributed to the problematic status of feminist musicology in Poland nowadays.

Atatürk Dönemi Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi Kurultaylarinda, Nizamnamelerinde ve Programlarında Kadın Algısı

Author(s): Beral Alacı / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 03/2016

Republican People's Party, has been the first political party in the Republic of Turkey and ithas led the way in many instancesin the Turkish political life throughout its history. One of these instancesis the participation of women in political life in this partyfor the first time in the history of the Republic. In the days when political rights were being shaped in accordance with new laws, Republican People's Party opened its doors to women as the ruling party. Initially women took lower level positions within the party, in later years, however, they served as deputies under the roof of CHP. In this respect, Republican People's Party Congresses, regulations and programmes are especially significant in the sense that they provided a space for the discussion of the "woman" question, and a space in which boththe physical and the intellectual existence of women is acknowledged. In Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's lifetime, CHPcongresses were held in 1927, 1931 and 1935. Through the regulations and programmes that were published during the process of these congresses, written sources reflecting the general structure of the Party were formed. In this study, the perception of women in the congresses, regulations and programmes of the Republican People's Party under the leadership of Atatürk will be evaluated in the light of archive documents, papers and researches.

BAKHTINIAN READING OF CARYL CHURCHILL’S FEMINIST DISCOURSE IN TOP GIRLS

Author(s): Cüneyt Özata / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

Caryl Churchill is one of the most distinguished contemporary British women playwrights to emerge in the post-war era. She is a playwright who has managed to enter successfully the male canon and gain wide recognition among theatre audiences and critics. Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls, first performed at London’s Royal Court Theatre on 28 August 1982 and directed by Max Stafford-Clark, is one of the most important plays of feminism to date. The play examines the status of women in the world especially in the workplace through the life stories of five important women characters of history. In this regard Top Girls relates itself to the Bakhtinian concept of carnival through the scenes of banquet. This paper aims at reading Churchill’s Top Girls with a close reference to the theory of carnivalesque depicted by Michael Bakhtin in his critical work on Rabelais, Rabelais and his World.

Between Self-Defense and Loyalty - Jewish Responses to the Numerus Clausus Law in Hungary, 1920–1928

Author(s): Judith Szapor / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Enacted in September 1920 in Hungary, the numerus clausus law, the first antisemitic law in postwar Europe introduced discrimination against Jews in higher education. Ostensibly a remedy for the “overcrowding” of universities, the law breached the previous, liberal era’s concept of equal citizenship. This survey of Jewish responses to the law between 1920-1928 is based on the coverage of Egyenlőség, the representative weekly of assimilated, Neolog Jews. The arguments voiced by contemporary commentators against the numerus clausus law highlight their precarious position, between fighting to maintain full membership in the Hungarian nation while also nurturing a sense of Jewish identity; ultimately, they reflect their views on the prospect of assimilation itself.

Between society and house: the history of the emancipation of the Ukrainian women of Eastern Galicia during the First World War

Author(s): Marjana Baidak / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2016

This article describes the history of the emancipation of the Ukrainian women of Galicia – the Austrian province and later in the Polish state – during the First World War and the post-war years. The focus of this research is the participation of women in combat actions, social activities, and family relationships. The events of war had a signicant impact on the everyday life of women in the household, both ideologically and mentally. The role of Ukrainian women at the front and in the public sphere is analyzed in the context of ‘internal emancipation’ by overcoming traditional prejudices that have limited female space, especially those of the household. During the war the daily space of women signicantly expanded – a woman could become not only a nurse, but the defender of the house, as she had to deal with the daily problems associated with raising children, community initiatives, or concerns for the man who had been mobilized to the front. The critical situation of the war accelerated the process of the emancipation of women as individuals and forced women to give up the traditional limitations of family and home. Ukrainian women found the space to implement dierent skills and began to understand themselves through the prism of their own lives and intimate experiences, not just as a part of a man’s everyday life. These changes were perceived in society in dierent ways. Still, mancipation was not extensive, as many women were afraid to make changes. The huge patriarchal world still dominated, but the issue of the civil rights of women, including the right for self-realization, was impossible to ignore

Between The magic word “war” was pronounced and The war is a terrible evil: The Beginning of the Female War Memoirs During the Russo-Ottoman War 1877 – 1878

Author(s): Anastasiya Pashova,Petar Vodenicharov / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2016

The authors analyze the war experience of two Russian nurses on the Balkan front. Their attitude to the Bulgarians, to their patients, to refugees, to the hospital administration have been followed. Being both religious and patriotic the two aristocratic nurses were loyal to the office al ideology of the Russian Empire and its sacred mission for “God, Tsar and Fatherland”. Yet, being women they were emotionally involved and compassionate to the sufferings of their patients – Russians, Bulgarians, Turks, and very critical to the male egoism, arrogance, cruelty and corruption at the rear of the front. Nevertheless of the prevailing religious – patriotic tone the war experience of the two nurses was ambiguous and often contradictory. Still, they did not overstep the official frames of interpreting the War and were not able to reach to pacifistic convictions.

Bezdomność w Łodzi

Książka "Bezdomność w Łodzi" jest w przeważającej mierze efektem konferencji pod tym samym tytułem, która odbyła się w tymże mieście w lutym 2016 roku za sprawą Łódzkiego Partnerstwa Pomocy w sytuacji Wykluczenia i Bezdomności. Składają się na nią teksty prezentowane podczas konferencji oraz kilka innych. Dobrze się stało, że książka nie odcina się od tego spotkania, jak to nieraz bywa z "tomami pokonferencyjnymi". Owszem, w różnoraki sposób do niej nawiązuje. We wstępie jest zamieszczony program konferencji, są też zdjęcia z obrad. W ten sposób redaktorkom publikacji udało się zachować coś z dialogu, który się toczył przecież tamtej zimy na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim. [...] Przedstawiony materiał [...] o bezdomności w Łodzi jest bardzo wartościowy. [z recenzji dr hab. Grzegorza Pełczyńskiego, prof. Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego]
