Beschreibung
Gender studies are undoubtedly one of the fastest growing
domains of contemporary cultural and social research.
Ignited by early feminist thought, contextualized and given
argument by anthropological insights into the logic of the
cultural construction of gender roles and relations,
theorized and radicalized by consecutive waves of feminism,
the study of gender relations now inspires reflection and
debate in the majority of social sciences and humanities.
This book bears witness to the multi-disciplinary character
of contemporary reflection on the topic of gender. The
approaches of social history, historical anthropology, oral
history, anthropology and ethnology, sociology, history of
literature, political science and pedagogy, all work
together to provide an overview of various aspects of gender
relations in South Eastern Europe in the 19th and 20th
century.
The volume comprises 20 contributions on various facets of
gender relations in the region, written by the most profiled
authors in this field like Andrea Petö, Kristina Popova,
Radina Vuceti’c, Ana Stoli’c or Krassimira
Daskalova.
