GENDERING ‘COMMUNISM’ PART I
Wed., June 17, 16:00-17:45 [FSPUB, Ghiță Ionescu Room]
Chair: Senior Lecturer Theododa-Eliza Văcărescu, Phd, University of Bucharest, Romania
Discussant: Professor Mihaela Miroiu, PhD, National School of Political and Administrative Studies (SNSPA), Bucharest, Romania
Panel description:
Gender, conceptualized both as a symbolic and a material category, permeated all instances of communism/ state-socialism. The last two decades witnessed a burgeoning literature pertaining to the relationship between gender and state-socialism/communism. Most of the aforementioned studies were articulated within the dominant theoretical and conceptual frameworks used to analyze ‘really existing socialism.’ These various investigations, memoirs, oral history projects, etc. documented and explored women’s and men’s lives and experiences during that period in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the USSR. However, by comparison, the research agendas on this topic, concerning Romania and Moldova, have been less sustained and more scattered. Therefore, the main objective of this panel is to bring together various analytical approaches and topics in order to engage them into a critical dialogue.
