Restructuring Gender to Preserve Nationalism: A Criti-cal Discourse Analysis of the Memory Politics of the Bulgarian Totalitarian State in the 1960s

Restructuring Gender to Preserve Nationalism: A Criti-cal Discourse Analysis of the Memory Politics of the Bulgarian Totalitarian State in the 1960s

Author(s): Petar Vodenicharov, PH.D / Language(s): English / Issue: 14/2005

Keywords: gender; autobiography; discourse analysis;

The article researches changes in gender identities during the period of na-tional communism in the frame of so-called totalitarian modernization. The author analyses both legislation as well as the ways in which notions of nation, heroism and womanhood were constructed in communist oral autobiographies, the memoirs of partisan fighters, the official press and cinema. Despite much pathos about modernization and abundant rhetoric on national and gender emancipation, the Bulgarian totalitarian regime created a fake type of mod-ernization that legitimized many pre-modern mentalities, producing a strain of nationalism close to tribalism and gender relations best described as state pa-triarchy.

A criticism of the report on “Sexual exploitation and prostitution and its impact on gender equality”

O critică a „Raportului asupra prostituţiei şi exploatării sexuale şi a impactului acestora asupra egalităţii de gen”

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2014

Semnatarii işi exprimă îngrijorarea profundă legată de “Raportul asupra prostituţiei şi exploatării sexuale şi impactului acestora asupra egalităţii de gen”, redactat de Mary Honeyball, MEP reprezentând Londra, care va fi supus votului în cadrul sesiunii plenare din 27 februarie 2014 a Parlamentului European. Raportul recomandă aşanumitul „Model Suedez” – în care cumpărarea serviciilor sexuale este criminalizată, dar vânzarea lor rămâne legală. Este important să existe o dezbatere atentă care ia în considerare cantitatea substanţială de informaţie academică concludentă, relevantă pentru subiect, cât şi poziţiile lucrătorilor sexuali şi grupurilor societăţii civile cu experienţă îndelungată în munca cu lucrătorii sexuali.

“Something Nice to Remember”. Silence and Memory Between Generations in Two Gulag Films

“Something Nice to Remember”. Silence and Memory Between Generations in Two Gulag Films

Author(s): Oana Popescu-Sandu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2010

Keywords: exploration of the past; communist nostalgia; confession; The Afternoon of a Torturer; Canary Season

After 1989, several Bulgarian films engaged in the exploration of the communist past, but, as in the Romanian case, the period of exploration did not last very long. Yet the topic of the past did manage to reach a point of saturation. Bulgarian film scholar Dina Iordanova writes that “the gloomy 1950s were recycled ad nauseam […] Before long, the topic of human rights violations and moral compromises of the period was no longer attractive to filmmakers.” (New Bulgarian Cinema 61) Iordanova adds that Bulgarian film, after the early 1990s, turned away from the traumatic past to focus on other problems of identity, in a manner similar to the Russian chernukha genre. (60) My analysis of several Bulgarian films will show, that, like in the Romanian case, the line between productive exploration of the past and the repetition of communist paradigms is very thin. In my analysis of the Bulgarian film I focus less on the mechanisms of the confession proper and what it reveals about the past, and more on the way the past and the present live together within the same body and the even same film frame. I will look at the crippling effect of the past on the present, at the effect the unresolved life of parents has on children. Lilly’s confession to her son in Canary Season is not cathartic but deadly; Ţandără’s son is crippled, both physically (as he suffers from liver disease) and mentally. Canary Season (like The Afternoon of a Torturer), shows how the confession of parents does not help children and does not enlighten and unburden the present. The confession is sabotaged, delayed, undervalued or simply comes too late. The life of the children is meaningless and joyless unless they decide to escape the perpetual return of the dead and to the dead that is sometimes advocated by the older generations.

From a bird's eye view

Iz ptičije perspektive

Author(s): Senahid Nezirović / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 3-4/2015

Iako je u istoj, 1987. godini završio Višu ekonomsku školu u Beogradu, te objavio zapažen poetski prvenac „Vrijeme velikog posta“, tada je malo ko mogao pretpostaviti da će se Žarko Milenić (r. 1961, Brčko, SR BiH, SFRJ) razviti u raskošnu i svestranu književnu individuu. Danas, nešto više od četvrt veka posle pojave njegove prve knjige – matice, osvedočili smo se u istinitost tvrdnje o tome da je reč o sjajnom dramskom piscu, studioznom esejisti i kazališnom kritičaru, plodnom prevodiocu (sa engleskog, ruskog, makedonskog, bugarskog, slovenačkog i ukrajinskog jezika), čija su dela prevođena na više jezika, dobitniku književnih nagrada za poeziju, prozu, dramu i esej u BiH, Hrvatskoj i Makedoniji; rečju ostvarenom piscu koji je osvetlao obraz svojih nastavnika...

An Ottoman-Age Femme Fatale. Archaeothanatological Context for the Deviant Burial of a Woman from Site No. 6 on the Haemus Highway in Bulgaria

Author(s): Elena VASILEVA,Petar Parvanov,Viktoria RUSSEVA / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: mortuary behaviour; development archaeology; popular beliefs; violence; Ottoman period;

The work presented here discusses the largest known Islamic necropolis in Bulgaria explored in 2012/2013 in connection to the construction of Haemus Highway, in its section nearby the Makak residential area of Shumen, Northeastern Bulgaria. The excavations revealed more than 700 inhumation graves. According to the studies of ethnology and cultural anthropology the Muslim burial rite is rather simple compared to the pagan or Christian ones. It is seen to be a conservative one, strictly adhering to the canon as in most graves the deceased have been placed in supine extended position. However, some skeletons exhibit variations showing that those buried have not been arranged especially careful during the funeral. Furthermore, some skeletons indicated post mortem dislocation of bones. The finding of a female individual in grave No. 172 is the perfect example for such neglectful treatment. The current contribution will address this phenomenon by exploring in depth its archaeological and anthropological aspects. The burial will be analyzed both in its immediate intra-site context and within the range of similar cases during the Early and Late Middle Ages registered in one Islamic and some Christian cemeteries. Exercising thick descriptions in the engendered analysis of non-normative mortuary behavior offers another look on the social mosaics of Balkan communities from the Ottoman age.

ROLE OF PUBLIC HEALTH COUNCILS IN THE PROMOTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH AT LOCAL LEVEL

ROLE OF PUBLIC HEALTH COUNCILS IN THE PROMOTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH AT LOCAL LEVEL

Author(s): Snezana Petrova-Djambazova / Language(s): English / Issue: 22/2016

Keywords: /

According to the definition by the World Health Organisation, public health pertains to “all organised measures (whether public or private) to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong life among the population as a whole.” Public health in the Republic of Macedonia has a long history of providing services and conditions where people can be healthy, thereby focusing on the entire population, not on individual patients or diseases. In the past, such provision of services was referred to as sanitation and hygiene activity, immunisation, epidemiological activity, etc. For the purpose of acquiring global trends, and also awarding special status to this activity in the overall health protection – which, in a wider context, covers preventive and curative services to the individual and population, it was recently renamed “public health”, thus reflecting the separate discipline of providing services and conditions at the level of population and community. The vertical implementation of the fundamental public health functions includes the Public Health Councils, which are responsible for the consistent application of the provisions from the Law on Public Health, in order to promote health and wellbeing of the individual and the local community.

Building the socio-economic structure of the Bulgarian interim government in Vardar Macedonia (1941 – 1944)

Author(s): Sia Nikiforova / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: Bulgaria; Vardar Macedonia; Macedonian Bulgarians; politics; government;

The presence of the Bulgarian authorities in Vardar Macedonia during the Second World War impresses with the scale of its financial and social framework. Data on its short existence and form of establishment do not prove to be decisive for imposing restrictions and socioeconomic constraints on the local population. The Bulgarian state did not spare resources and potential for the economic and overall social development of the district, on the contrary, this turned out to be an argument in the possible future talks about the fate of the district within the boundaries of Bulgaria. The huge investments made by the state were aimed at trying to help the local population adapt to the life of Bulgaria – the country which they perceived as their homeland.
