Beschreibung

“Our Otherness” explores the interface between
Finno-Ugrian Studies –
traditional research into the Finno-Ugric languages,
their history and relatedness, as well as other
approaches to the language, history, culture, and
folklore of these peoples – and Women`s Studies. How
do gender and linguistic origins interact in the
making of national identity? Can we speak about a
“gendered Finno-Ugrianness”? How does gender express
itself in
languages lacking grammatical gender, and how are
these questions dealt with in language description and
language planning?
