Teoretizovanje pokretljivosti žena
The Theorising of Female Mobility

Summary/Abstract: The notion of the politics of locations is one of the epistemological foundations of feminist theory and gender knowledge. It has developed over the last twenty years from a political slogan into a fully-fledged methodological framework, which encompasses several theoretical variations. One of the most relevant aspects of this notion is that it explores the parameters for the kinds of subject positions that have become available as a result of changing gender roles in society. The politics of location, however, also works at the macro-level as a tool by which global power relations can be assessed in the light of feminist politics and gender concerns. This has led, among others, to discussions about the transnational nature of feminist subjectivity and to intersectional methods of analysis, which account simultaneously for a variety of axes of marginalisation: gender, class, race, ethnicity, age, and sexuality. This artical presented a cartography of these new subject positions within a European perspective (special Balkan and ex Yugoslavia), with emphasis on the communisam ideology and socialism. Very inter-disciplinary in orientation, it presents approaches from the humanities (Gender history, language, literature, the folk arts), the social sciences (sociology, political theory, anthropology) and philosophy.
