Advanced seminar
Nationalism, Religion and Gender in Eastern Europe
Katharina Bluhm
Comments
The recent rise of nationalism brings the intersection of gender, state, and nation into focus. It is often but not always combined with an illiberal-conservative turn in family policy and naturalization of gender roles, critiquing "postmodern" and "totalitarian liberalism" after 1968, including liberal feminism. This movement is more comprehensive than Eastern Europe and Russia but does find particular conditions here. The seminar starts with selected theoretical texts on gender, state, and nation, then examines commonalities and differences in socialist gender regimes before and after 1989 that feminists have framed as re-traditionalization. Building on this, we explore how nationalism and illiberal conservatism intersect with gender in Russia, Ukraine, and Poland, with Germany also used as a point of comparison. Finally, we discuss the influence of war on gender relations using the examples of Ukraine and Russia.
