A Tormay-affér mentalitástörténeti tanulságai

Author(s): Anita Kurimay / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2016

This article examines the scandal of Cécile Tormay, a writer of international repute and prominence in interwar Hungary. Her purported homosexuality, despite its high political stakes, juicy bedroom details, long line of distinguished witnesses, and extensive press coverage has been largely ignored by historians. Cécile Tormay’s relationship with Countess Zichy Rafael became the talk of Budapest during the Zichys’ divorce trial and the subsequent libel case that Tormay and Countess Zichy filed against the count and his servants. Rather than trying to decipher the truth about Tormay’s sexuality and her relationship to the Countess, this article aims to reconstruct ideas and understandings of sexuality and especially of female homosexuality during the 1920s. By contextualizing the scandal within the social and cultural history of interwar Hungary, contemporary newspaper coverage, and the court documents of divorce and libel cases, this article reveals a gendered and highly class based understanding of female sexuality.

Homoszexuálisok listázása a 20. századi Magyarországon

Author(s): Judit Takács / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 66/2016

Takács’s large-scale research project mapping the social history of homosexuality in the twentieth century reveals the existence of several lists of homosexual individuals compiled for official government use. Some are known from as early as the beginning of the 1900s, and there is evidence for the existence of such records in archival materials about the operation of the Budapest Municipal Police Headquarters as late as the end of the 1980s. The subject of the present study, a unique example for this type of material, is the document entitled “Conscripting Homosexual Individuals for Forced Labour,” listing the personal details of nearly a thousand gay men. The list, compiled in November and December 1942, was part of the Ministry of Defence correspondence with the State Security Centre, which was established by a joint ordinance issued by the minister of internal affairs and the minister of defence in September 1942. The documents are notable because of the scarcity of sources that provide an insight into the fate of people listed as homosexual during the Second World War. Takács’s study uses further archival sources and other documents to reconstruct the history and parctice of official Hungarian government records about homosexual individuals between the 1920s and 1980s.

„A házaséletet férje mellett megszokta vagy legalábbis eltűri, de néha még élvezi is”

Author(s): Anna Borgos / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 66/2016

The paper presents and analyzes the representations of women’s same-sex desires, sexualities and relationships in state socialist psychiatric and sexology literature. These texts constitute a significant corpus of images of gays and lesbians, both reflecting on and contributing to the discourse on homosexuality. Within the psychological discourses on homosexuality, the case of women shows special characteristics. Women usually appear along a continuum, in which their sexual choices are linked to emotional factors and a general need for intimacy in the first place. There is no “need” for therapeutic conversion for women since the socially prescribed scripts for getting married are strong enough and the lack of sexual pleasure with men is not considered to be a problem. Psycho-medical accounts seem to lack the recognition of lesbian identity or life perspective altogether; lesbianism is interpreted as an early attachment disorder or a substitute for unsatisfying relationships with men. The fundamental therapeutic aim is to achieve good social adaptation and adjustment. In this process, psychology experts are influential representatives of the heteronormative society, reinforcing gender norms and straight family ideals. Scholarly and popular psy- and sexology literature suggests that even though transgressing sexuality was a stronger taboo for men, women’s transgression of marriage was considered a more serious social threat.

Többneműség és/vagy ruhacsere: egy 18. századi álhermafrodita esete

Author(s): Petra Bálint / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 66/2016

Sexual identity and orientation is heavily dependent on time and place and so is the meaning of femininity and masculinity, social gender and sexual gender. Besides biological determinants, gender and sexuality have always had a social aspect throughout history, therefore it can only be interpreted in the context of social relations.Bálint demonstrates this approach through the case of a young girl presented to the court of Eger in 1760 who claimed that she was a hermaphrodite and lived as a man. Various questions emerge about the girl, Ancsa Bodnár. Why did she claim she was a hermaphrodite keeping her real gender a secret? What were the consequences of being “intersexual”, to use a modern term? How did society and the jury approach dissenting sexual appearances? And why did Bodnár choose to live as a man if she was not really androgynous?In addition to the discussion of the cultural-historical aspects of hermaphroditism and women living as men, Bálint also studies cross-dressing and the phenomenon of changing gender. What were women’s motives to wear men’s clothes and to assume men’s roles? The study presents eighteenth-century court materials and the confessions of offenders to examine cross-dressing as a survival strategy in everyday life.

„Beteg szerelem” – a queer szubkultúra a rendőri és a sajtódiskurzusban a 20. század első felében

Author(s): Roland Perényi / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 66/2016

The paper examines the main features of the image of queer subculture in the first half of the twentieth century based on police and press discourses. Queer subculture in the modern metropolis was a very diverse and complex phenomenon at the time, with a number of various sub-types. This complexity is not only observed by historians of queer culture but was also evident for contemporary analysts like police officers and journalists. As indicated in the title, the discourse about male homosexuality in this period is characterized by a gradual medicalisation. After the 1900s homosexuality began to be interpreted as a disease and a perversion that can be cured and healed.The primary sources of the study are police documents, books published by police officers and articles in Budapest newspapers. In addition to the daily press Perényi examines books of urban reportage first appearing in Budapest in the 1900s, which are closely linked to the discourse in the press. The joint works of reporter Kornél Tábori and head of the police press office Vladimir Székely give an especially sharp insight into urban queer culture of Budapest.The analysis of police and press discourses of same-sex sexuality supports the thesis that from the 1900s until the end of the Horthy era, regardless of the political system, attitudes toward queer culture were generally tolerant, which can be largely attributed to the fact that non-normative forms of sexual behavior were interpreted in a medicalised way.

Women have historically been the cause of wars, changing the philosophy and life attitudes,the creative inspiration for many artists. Despite its values throughout history are most often unfairly considered inferior. In particular, hardly any women in patriarchal communities. Since its birth it was brought up for the role of those who obey and serve. About Women and its characteristics, and the women who betrayed the good qualities, a lot has been said on proverbs. There were the idealized life roles of women. The mother’s role is above all life roles, and make a positive attitude was and the valuable housewives and good girls. Neither today have not abandoned until the end of stereotypes and prejudices about women as less capable and worthy; and today can be heard from many mouths to the woman’s place only in the home and with her apron.

JANUSOVO LICE MIZOGINIJE

Author(s): Nada Sekulić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The paper analyzes the descriptions of the female body, given in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in the framework of the misogynic philosophy of the corporeality, rude physical practices and violent methods of regulating female bodies, reflecting the ambivalent social boundaries, statuses, roles and prestige that belonged to women. The main gynecological texts and official papers that represent medical knowledge were designed just for men, and deliberately excluded women, expressing a strong need to establish social control over them at the end of the Middle Ages, standardizing prejudice and violence as legitimate social, religious and medical treatment of women. At the time of the Inquisition, it was necessary to establish the boundary between men as those who produce knowledge about the female body and women as objects of knowledge, in the relations in which women’s bodies should be fixed in such a way to strengthen male authority. It is necessary to place the study of women’s corporeality in the broader framework of the research of the relationship between the medical explanations of the functioning of the female body, misogyny and violence as a constituent part of social reproduction.

Дигитална хуманистика и сајбер феминизам

Author(s): Aleksandra Vraneš / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 5/2015

The field of digital humanities has been established on an assumption that we live in a world in which no one is the only producer, manager and disseminator of knowledge or culture. Universities are invited to form original digital models (web, blogospheres, digital libraries, etc.) and innovations in these areas. They ought to foster the establishment of a network for production, exchange and dissemination of knowledge. The openness of sources and access is the only principle. Digital humanities encompass: museums, libraries, archives, galleries without walls; democratization of knowledge and culture; the abolition of boundaries between natural and social sciences; intellectual creativity; mix of media; sometimes even digital anarchy and equal evaluation of creative copies and originals. In this article, author first describes advantages and limits of digital humanities, and then points to cyber-feminism, a feminist version of digital humanities, a new techno-culture, as well as opposition to patriarchal academic discourse.

Hélène Berr: Journal 1942-1944

Author(s): Nevena Daković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 5/2015

This paper analyzes the journal of Hélène Berr (Hélène Berr Journal, 1942-1944, Paris, 2008) – a Parisian Jew, and a student at the Sorbonne – which she wrote during two years of war, as a testimony of the conflicted feelings of despair, fear and hope, and her transitions from a helpless victim to a sublime author. The journal starts with a dedication from the book she received from Paul Valéry, and then it continues with quotes from Keats, Gide, Shakespeare, Conrad, Lewis Carroll; notes on the music of Bach and Chopin, the English syntax. This intertextual and palimpsestic text maps subtle steps of growth with the numerous titles it mentions (which are given in a separate list at the end of the edition), quotes, references to musical and artistic works; it maps the road of unearthing the necessity of action lead by cognition – and the determined sacrifices – of the necessity of struggle which will ensure ”the triumph of the desire for happiness over the consciousness of the imminent tragedy” (Modiano). The talented 23-year-old author describes thoroughly and emotionally her personal and family life in Paris under occupation, the growing nacism and antisemitism, working in a Jewish community, but also the intellectual and spiritual world of escape into art and writing. Her worlds are the images of life from both sides of the mirror (Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass was one of her favorite books), where we can notice the intertwining of the portrait of the obedient victim who will be destroyed and the portrait of the disobedient author who triumphs through her own records and thoughts.

"Skretnice" Jasmine Musabegović – retorika hetero-povijesti u Povijesti:

Author(s): Mirela Berbić-Imširović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 5/2015

This paper analyzes the novel Jasmina Musabegović wrote in 1986. The path of identification through coding female gender means going back home, but only after it has been decontaminated ideologically. Bearing in mind that every topos represents a point in cultural discourse and that rails represent borders and perspectives of gender and cultural prefiguration, what we are interested in is whether Fatima is active in chaotic historical time-space, situated within those transitional topoi (period between the two wars and during WWII); are switches a skeptically colored, failed trope which cannot be transcoded onto female gender, since she lives a life of statics and not a life of changeability, or Fatima’s reversibility towards home tells us about the need for acknowledging the stigmatically and conventionally secondary topologies in authenticating oneself? Is the narrator, disregarding the fragile, but present poly-glossia, imprisoned in her own andro-text, corresponding with the following: what is the position of a woman in collective identification and strong positioning, can a woman be a formalized subject in history, and/or she follows a different path of identity coding through family politics/poly-ethics, togetherness, caring? In other words, doesn’t Switches omit unexpectedly, but intentionally Fatima’s settling down in the historical space, enabling her to preserve her self, without its isolation, but through protecting it in the difference of the marginal, leaving room for the empty (De Certau)?

Spoj erosa i humora u ljubavnoj poeziji Bisere Alikadić i Radmile Lazić

Author(s): Adisa Bašić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 5/2015

Bisera Alikadić is one of the key figures both in reconstructing women’s literary history in Bosnian literature as well as in speaking about contemporary literary producion. She cannot be subsumed under ethnonational categories (a Bosnian woman who writes erotic poetry and deals with topics nowhere suitable for the active process of building the nation). Her humour is subversive, emancipative, rebellious, and her position in the literary canon is permanently marginal. Poetically, her counterpart and colloqutor could be the Serbian female poet Radmila Lazić, and it is interesting to compare the poetics of these two autors who write in the same but differently named language – Serbian and Bosnian.

Искуство, исповест, исказ: родно и формативно у српској женској прози

Author(s): Vladislava Gordić Petković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 5/2015

The literary transformation of women’s experience springs from antagonistic and ambivalent attitudes towards artistic tradition and artistic practice, since the mediation of women’s experience calls for the reconstruction of those epistemological and interpretative norms and practices related to the making of a literary work. Afraid that her unique experience might be transformed into a cliche, a woman author is always asking the question of relevance – is the experience of a woman›s growing up and reaching maturity important enough to be fictionalized? The subject matter of women’s experience turns into a stumbling block due to awareness that literary tradition lacks a bold and resolute reconsideration of the plots dealing with female life and growth. The paper sets out to explore three novels by women authors released in 2014, discussing the issues of growth and maturity along with the topics of diversity, identity crises within a frame of a fluid text bearing resemblance to fragmentary novel, autobiography and a short story cycle.
