Abstract

The articles included in this book explore the concept of space with regard to gender discourse. Their authors analyse how women and men address, re-define and shape their physical, topographical as well as cultural and literary space; they study how gender affects women's and men's spatial and discursive location and how it influences their (spatial) identities. The contributors to this book are young academics, Ph.D. students and university graduates. Apart of the freshness of the approach, the book's strength lies in the fact that the gendered dimension of space is discussed here from numerous standpoints, such as geographic, psychological, linguistic, sociological, literary and cultural.

Abstract

Each chapter engages with one key theme from Scottish historiography, asking what happens when women are added to the story.

Abstract

This volume explores the role of gender on both the home and fighting fronts in eastern Europe during World Wars I and II. By using gender as a category of analysis, the authors seek to arrive at a more nuanced understanding of the subjective nature of wartime experiences and representations. While historians have long equated the fighting front with the masculine and the home front with the feminine, the contributors challenge these dichotomies, demonstrating that they are based on culturally embedded assumptions about heroism and sacrifice.

Abstract

With the collapse of communism, a new world seemed to open for the peoples of East Central Europe. The possibilities this world presented, and the costs it exacted, have been experienced differently by men and women. Susan Gal and Gail Kligman explore these differences through a probing analysis of the role of gender in reshaping politics and social relations since 1989. The authors raise two crucial questions: How are gender relations and ideas about gender shaping political and economic change in the region? And what forms of gender inequality are emerging as a result? The book provides a rich understanding of gender relations and their significance in social and institutional transformations. Gal and Kligman offer a systematic comparison of East Central European gender relations with those of western welfare states, and with the presocialist, bourgeois past. Throughout this essay, the authors attend to historical comparisons as well as cross regional interactions and contrasts. Their work contributes importantly to the study of post socialism, and to the broader feminist literature that critically examines how states and political-economic processes are gendered, and how states and markets regulate gender relations.

Developed from papers first presented at a regional meeting of the American Conference for Irish Studies in South Carolina in 2006, not only does this work suggest the importance of linking gender and geography, but it also suggests, in the ra...
