A félproletár háztartás a modern világrendszer longue durée-je folyamán

Author(s): Wilma A. Dunaway / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 24/2018

Wilma A. Dunaway is a researcher affiliated with the Fernand Braudel Center Research Working Group on Households, Labor Force Formation and the World-Economy. A particular conception of the household, helping to grasp the process of the accumulation of capital at world-system level, was developed in this working group, as a result of the critiques of Wallerstein’s early historical works. This conception, also applied in this study, exposes the household as the fundamental site for the reproduction of the labor force, which combines various forms of labor, and integrates into the capitalist world-system by maintaining hierarchy between these forms. Through the maintenance of this hierarchy, the household allows capitalists to extract surplus from the household itself, and renders the reproductive or informal labor of women publicly invisible. Here, Dunaway puts forward a systematic analysis of how these two processes take place.

A „jó anya” mítosza Magyarországon a reproduktív munka és a piac globális történetének szempontjából

Author(s): Gergely Csányi,Szabina Kerényi / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 24/2018

Based on Foucault’s theory of the soul, as well as the methodological insights of Fernand Braudel and world-systems analysis, in our paper we demonstrate how the myths of the good and the bad mother were created by certain actors during the various cycles of the capitalist world system, and how these myths have been embedded into the logic of capitalistic accumulation. We show how these myths, on the one hand, contributed to securing the unpaid reproductive labour necessitated by accumulation, and on the other hand, supported a new market segment from the 19th century onwards. First we present an outline of the history of the myth of the good mother at the core of the world system, then we summarise the socialist myth of the good mother. Finally, we use empirical examples to illustrate the contemporary Hungarian myth of the good mother.

Between Specifics, Stereotype and ‘Adoption’ of the Other’s Garment

Author(s): Miglena Ivanova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

This article deals with a corpus of little known archival documents dating from 1888-1889, stored in the deposits of the Scientific Archives at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and concerning the population in the territory of present-day Bulgaria as well as the prevailing way of dressing of different groups towards the end of the 19th century. A number of photographs are included as illustrations in support of the textual descriptions. The author’s attention is focused on such archival units containing descriptions of women’s garb, attesting to the fact that during the period under review, part of the Gagauz women wore shalwar. The evidence presented shows that towards the late 19th century, this type of garment established a solid presence among the Gagauz community inhabiting the Black Sea coastal areas of Bulgaria. The styling, cut and manner of wearing of that garment comes as evidence that while originally the shalwar was worn exclusively by Muslim women, during the period of modernization of the Ottoman empire, they were ‘adopted’ by the Christian Orthodox Gagauz women.

CONOTAȚII RASISTE ȘI XENOFOBE ÎN LIMBILE ROMÂNĂ, ENGLEZĂ ȘI SPANIOLĂ – STUDIU CONTRASTIV

Author(s): Florina-Cristina Herling,Raluca Ghenţulescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2020

In an epoch in which slavery was regarded as something natural and people of different origins were considered inferior, strange or mad by the majority of the native populations of the so-called civilized countries, racism, xenophobia and discrimination on ethnical criteria were not blamed or discouraged, but, in many cases, even promoted by the politicians, social actors or teachers through the doctrines they presented to the public. At the lexical level, these discriminatory tendencies can still be noticed in phrases, idioms and proverbs, in many languages, including Romanian, English and Spanish. These forms of expression render the majority’s prejudices and stereotypes against the Other, seen as the representative of an unwanted minority. The purpose of this article is to analyze the racist and xenophobic connotations in the three languages, in order to find the common cause of this hatred or contempt against those who are different from us, to get to the root of this phenomenon that, despite current laws and regulations worldwide, still affects the life, career or simply self-esteem of millions of people around the globe. Racism, xenophobia and discrimination should be condemned by all means and, as political correctness has attempted so far, language is one of the main ways to fight against them. Therefore, the expressions provided as examples in this article should be taken only as mere reflections of an obsolete mentality based on the dichotomies of superiority-inferiority, identity-otherness, national-foreign, etc., which have not brought anything good to the progress of mankind, leading to all sorts of conflicts that should be avoided nowadays.

Nici victimă, nici eroină. Rolul „poveştilor de viaţă” în construcţia identitară a fostelor deţinute politic din România

Author(s): Claudia-Florentina Dobre / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 19/2020

This study, based on the idea assessed by Hannah Arendt in The Human Condition according to which the storytelling is a strategy „for transforming private into public meanings”, and further discussed by Michael Jackson in his book, The Politics of Storytelling, who underlined that the storytelling is also a strategy „for sustaining a sense of agency in the face of dis-empowering circumstances”[ Michael Jackson, The Politics of Storytelling..., p. 34. ], aims at developing even further those two ideas arguing that storytelling is also fashioned by the social, cultural and political context as well as by the „social realms of memory”. Using the findings of a research among women, former political detainees during communism in Romania, this article emphasizes the role of storytelling in helping those women to overcome the trauma of the repression as well as in enhancing their agency while building an identity of anti-communist fighter.

W OBLICZU (POST)PRAWDY, CZYLI INNA HISTORIA FRANKISTOWSKIEGO PATRONATO DE PROTECCIÓN A LA MUJER W ESEJACH CONSUELO GARCÍI DEL CID GUERRY

Author(s): Marta Kobiela-Kwaśniewska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 70/2021

The paper is an attempt at shedding light on the unknown actions of Spanish Board for the Protection of Women. In Francoist Spain, this organization was originally founded to control and to dignify morality of “fallen women” in order to reeducate them in accordance with the National Catholicism ideology propagated by the Francoists. Although the aim of this powerful institution was to reeducate young women, many of them were hidden away in interments and suffered from different kinds of abuse. The violence applied against them was covered up and their voices silenced by authorities. The history of young women, completely unknown among Spanish society, was revealed and denounced by García del Cid Guerra. A former victim, she is the author of three political essays: Ruega por nosotras (2015), Las desterradas hijas de Eva (2012), and La niña del rincón (2018), books on which this article is based to present a different history of the Board for the Protection of Women, remembered by its young victims.

This article describes the methodology and the findings of a research about women, former political detainees, memory discourse about the communist period and political persecutions.

UNE CONGREGATION CATHOLIQUE FEMININE A SALONIQUE OTTOMANE ET LES BULGARES

Author(s): Raya Zaimova / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2022

The present article looks briefly at the history of the Roman Catholic Congregation (the Daughters of Charity of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul) who proclaim the Gospel among the Levantine peoples. The religious institute of women devoted to active charitable work. They settled in Ottoman Salonica around the 1850s. Their activities were closely linked to those of the Lazarists, depending on the same superior of the Mission. Referring to the French archives of their house in Salonica and personal documents, the author briefly presents the objectives of their mission, which, until 1913, was facilitated by the Franco-Ottoman capitulations. The schools of Daughters of Charity were attended by children of different nations, including Bulgarians. The text is an initial attempt to study the schools of the women’s congregations in the Balkans.

Попкултура и жени: контексти в сп. „Жената днес“ през 60-те и 70-те

Author(s): Julia Vladimirova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 11/2022

As one of the leading women's magazines, “The Woman Today” magazine is an interesting media phenomenon that gives us a look at the appearance of women during the state socialism in Bulgaria. What kind of women they are and should be, what do they like to consume and how do they want and / or should live. What should a (socialist) woman be like and is this a homogeneous concept? As a mass women's magazine, it give the trends, asks questions and focuses on certain consumer practices. However, this image is changing in different epochs of socialism itself and sets different contexts in which women can be seen. The text seeks to build contradictions and perspectives in the way the female image is nuanced in the pages of the magazine from the 60s and 70s.

A művészet eltagadott gazdaságának feminista megközelítése

Author(s): Katja Praznik / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 30/2022

Autonomy has historically been a gendered notion, a defining feature of masculinity as opposed to the relational otherness and dependency that has characterized dominant representations of femininity. It therefore follows that the notion of artistic labour, which as we saw in chapter 1, is rooted in the idea of art’s autonomy, would also be a gendered concept. This convergence of labour and gender calls, I argue, for an approach that is informed both by labour theory of value and a feminist epistemology to unpack the implications of autonomy of art. In this chapter, I therefore employ a feminist epistemology about the gendered nature of (women’s) work as an element of my labour-focused analysis

Local Cosmopolitans: A Study of Barkas neighborhood in Hyderabad

Author(s): Cătălina-Ioana Pavel / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Drawing from M. N. Pearson’s and Enseng Ho’s concept of “local cosmopolitanism,” I propose to study the neighborhood of Barkas in Hyderabad as a representation of how cosmopolitanism works in small communities where the people, while embedded in local relations, also maintain connections with distant places, thus articulating a relation between different geographical scales. Barkas is inhabited by people of an African origin, the Hadrami people from Hadramawt in Yemen, from where they came to Hyderabad to become part of the Nizam’s army. When they reached India, they were given land to build their own barracks (this is also how the neighborhood got its present name) and after the Nizam’s rule ended, most of them stayed back.
