Жената в българското средновековие

Author(s): Sashka Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian

This book offers an overall research on the history of mediaeval Bulgarian women trying to encompass all aspects of life over the whole period of existence of Bulgaria during the Middle Ages. The first chapter of the book is devoted to the task of revealing as much thoroughly as possible the mediaeval model about the woman, about her place and role in society, the term ideological model constituting the combination of religious, ethic, social and political and esthetical notions, concepts and ideas about women characteristic for the mediaeval Bulgarian society. All data about women’s rights and obligations that can be found in mediaeval Bulgarian legal sources are thoroughly analyzed in the second chapter of the book. The peculiarities of the sources revealed and the goals set to be achieved in the first two chapters of the book define the main aim of the last part, which is to try to reveal the real presence of women in the economic, religious and political life in mediaeval Bulgaria.

World War I. The Other Face of the War

Author(s): / Language(s): English

"The other face of the war” indicates there are some need to focus on World War I, which had a great impact on later generations influencing not only the interwar period, but also some thinking and acting till near present.“The other face of the war” symbolizes also the readiness to study not only the military but also the civil aspects including the perspectives of the contemporaries on the other sides of the fronts.“The other face of the war” may also show the respect to all small contemporary people too involved unwillingly into a period of dense violence.Finally “the other face of the war” means the reason to participate at an international discussion on World War I Studies focusing on less known subjects for working in favour of a larger horizon.The more than thirty studies in this book represent the results of a conference held at the Babeş Bolyai University in October 2015 and show the large engagement of the mostly young scholars and their interest to make new research. Although the majority of the authors come from Romania, there are some others from other countries too. In the centre of attention is the Romanian space and its diverse regions, but the different subjects show that just this area can be understood as a little cosmos.The contents are structured in three parts: the first part under the title “Political thought and memory” underlines the diversity among the contemporaries to think and handle the war time and its actions and shows the different aspects of memory like a colourful prism. The second part under the title “Nationalism” contains the message that the “Great war” had a quite official function for the visions and plans among the European nations, while the third part of the contents under the title “Civil society” focuses on some aspects concerning the every day life phenomena which do not correspond with the head lines within the historiography.We hope that this publication may demonstrate the serious engagement of the Romanian historiography to join at World War I Studies as well as indicate that a new generation is going to bring into the research world some ‘new wind’ in favour of unreserved knowledge about the past.

Бих я държал под ключ, докато не престане да пише

Author(s): / Language(s): Bulgarian

The collection contains articles from the round table dedicated to the women’s writing issues which took place at the end of 2015 at Southwest University “Neofit Rilski”, Bulgaria. The papers are reviewing the woman in different creative roles – as an author, translator, critic, character. They analyze the variability of the perceptions towards women’s writing in the course of different historical periods. In the texts stand out various perspectives of the woman as an object of literature; a righteous virgin/wife, an innocent martyr or an audacious emancipator.

Život olašských žien

Author(s): Ivana Šusterová / Language(s): Slovak

One can write about the Roma people in many ways. The intention of writing about them can also be different. I made my way “into the field” with an open mind and heart in order to explore one of the groups of Roma. By doing so, I aimed to discover as many objective facts as possible. The objective was to discover, to such an extent, these facts in which the Wallachian Roma shared and supported directly with their testimonies. The book is an ethnographic description of selected aspects of life of a particular Roma group – Wallachian Roma (Lovara) living in Nitra. This group forms a small percentage of the Roma population in Slovakia and is mainly presented as a closed community which is hard to penetrate. This seems to be one of the reasons why there is an absence of information about Wallachian Roma; not only to the general public, but also among experts – in spite of the fact that Wallachian Roma form a special sub-ethnic group which is characterised, among other things, by the preservation of traditional norms, specific forms of behavior, and a set of unique habits in their community that persists even today. An important feature which influences the way of life of Wallachian Roma isa persistent solidarity among them by observing family and community rules. The book aims to describe and analyse the position of women within the community of Wallachian Roma today, present the picture of a Wallachian woman living her everyday life subordinated to the internal rules and laws of the community and focuses on the transformation of her position throughout her life. The publication focuses particularly on the current situation, but also observes the preservation of the traditional model of women´s position within the community of Wallachian Roma, the possible generation differences and the penetration of newer forms. The book also deals with factors influencing their formation, and aims to grasp this issue in the most comprehensive manner possible from the point of view of several generations and both sexes. The data presented in the book represent the results of field research conducted on Borová Street in Nitra, where the Wallachian community is concentrated within a compact residential unit. The current population of this community is around 350–400 adult Roma with children from the Ferkošť family who have lived at this location since 1958 when the first house was built there. The content of the book places emphasis on the changes in the position of women from their birth up to old age.

Women of Kurdistan. A Historical and Bibliographic Study

Author(s): Shahrzad Mojab,Amir Hassanpour / Language(s): English

Women of Kurdistan: A Historical and Bibliographic Study documents a century long history of Kurdish women’s struggles against oppressive gender relations and state violence. It speaks to bibliographic silences on Kurdish women; silences that are systemic and structured, with many factors contributing to their (re)production. The book records extensive literature on violence perpetrated by the family, community, and the state as well as presenting the reader with a vibrant archive of resistance and struggle of Kurdish women. The analysis avoids the fashionable state-centered scholarship, which purifies processes of nation-building, state-building, and disguises their violence. The image depicted of the women of Kurdistan in this bibliography is shaped also by the languages we have chosen: English, French, and German. It is a record of material in languages that are not spoken by the majority of the Kurds. It will, therefore, be different from a bibliography of works in the Kurdish language, which have a majority of Kurdish authors, with more entries on topics such as poetry, fiction, education, and arts.

Gender and Identity

Neuroza. Zagrożone męskości

Author(s): Krystyna Kłosińska / Language(s): Polish

The book deals with the figures of masculinity produced by various discourses of the late XIX c.: medical, economic, historical, hygienic. The interpretations relate to literary and paraliterary texts. The figure of the neurasthenic allegorizes masculinities threatened by excessive work, diffuse subjectivity, and perverse sexuality. The Polish idiom of neurosis has its particular manifestation in Without Dogma: Sienkiewicz, contrary to the theorists of neurosis, has designed the protagonist in such a way that his body is the heritage of the vigorous ancestors known from the Trilogy. In the petty bourgeois world of Dulska and Dulski gender has class, economic, socio-cultural determinants.

Aktivizam u ženskom pokretu u Bosni i Hercegovini ‒ Izazovi, iskoraci i društvene promene

Author(s): Zlatiborka Popov-Momčinović / Language(s): Serbian

Do potrebe za novom studijom o aktivizmu u ženskom pokretu u BiH došlo je iz nekoliko razloga. Od objavljivanja knjige Ženski pokret u Bosni i Hercegovini – artikulacija jedne kontrakulture prošlo je deset godina, te je u tom smislu prepoznata potreba da se da svojevrsni hommage ženskom aktivizmu u civilnom društvu. Aktivistkinje prepoznaju da je važno da se njihova iskustva beleže i stalno invociraju s obzirom na to da ih dominantne politike potiskuju ili nekad pokušavaju i zarobiti i zloupotrebiti. U svom aktivističkom delanju i one same često zaboravljaju na sebe te ih, kako je navela jedna aktivistkinja, „istorija guta“, i na kraju imamo samo muškarce. Iskustvo muškaraca nastoji se prikazati kao univerzalno i, navodno, rodno neutralno, i kroz ovaj heteronormativni pristup potiskuju se ženska iskustva ili se pak smeštaju na margine i u fusnote društveno-političkog života. Često sam i u ličnim susretima sa aktivistkinjama i u različitim prilikama čula pitanje kada ćemo imati „novi pokret“, što ne tumačim kao nastanak radikalno drugačije studije, već nove i bar delom drugačije.

Politička participacija žena u Bosni i Hercegovini: Analiza učešća žena na stranačkim listama i konačnih rezultata općih izbora 2014.

Author(s): Edita Miftari / Language(s): Bosnian

Iako prve studije o rodnoj neravnopravnosti u domenu političke participacije datiraju s početka prošlog vijeka, značajan razvoj interdisciplinarnog pristupa u izučavanju faktora o političkoj participaciji žena se dogodio tek osamdesetih i devedesetih godina ekspanzijom feminističke teorije. Shodno ovome, ključ za izučavanje političke socijalizacije i participacije žena postaje povezivanje političkih nauka, sociologije, psihologije i feminističke teorije, odnosno rodnih studija.
