Women in the Headquarters: The Case of the Zitzer Spiritual Republic

Summary/Abstract: Based on the analysis of the case study of the Zitzer Spiritual Republic, an antiwar movement in the ethnically dominantly Hungarian village Trešnjevac/Oromhegyes that took place in 1992, the article aims at refecting on theoretical and empirical questions related to the links between ethnic and gender identifcations. Using intersectionality as a perspective and through the analysis of newspaper articles and other printed publications, video recordings from the time of the event and later, as well as oral and written recollections of the members of the peace movement, the text deals with issues such as the importance of gender roles and gender regimes in the everyday life of the community built in the Zitzer Spiritual Republic, the role of the women who initiated Zitzer and their perspectives on war, ethnicity, gender and community, the gendered division of agency in the “imagined community”, antiwar activism in minority and/or rural settings and the dynamics of the private and public spheres.
