Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The history of feminism is often told along the „waves“ in the Global North. Even in postcolonial-decolonial feminist theories the “global” is thought of as Global North vs Global South – the former “Second World” is typically forgotten from the map of the global. In this seminar we will try to reconstruct the history of feminism in and from the perspective of East-Central Europe. The seminar concentrates mostly on the Visegrád countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) and South-Eastern Europe (Romania, Bulgaria and the states of the former Jugoslavia). We will discuss some of their key thinkers, both from before 1989/1990 and since then, who theorized – among other things – to what extent the state socialist regime was feminist or not; the East-Central European feminism’s and feminists’ relationship to the West before and after the transformations, and in the wake of the EU accession; the (illiberal) right-wing surge and anti-gender movements; care migration; the relationship of capitalism and democracy; and capitalism and patriarchy; the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
