Lazaryan (Dnipro, Ukraine), e-mail [email protected], ORCID 0000-0003-4710-6681 GENDER PROJECT OF THE FUTURE Abstract. A special thematic issue in the Journal Anthropological Measurements of Philosophical Research devoted to gender content is analyzed. The focus of the review is on new directions of thought and practical realiza- tion of gender justice. Prospects for further development of the mentioned topic are determined. Keywords: gender; women’s rights; gender identity; gender justice In the context of globalization processes in many countries of the world there is a significant influence of humanitarian inequality, rooted in the subconscious by the traditional distribution of gender roles. Such inequality hinders progressive changes in society, blocks the possibilities for self-realization of a person and the creation of his/her own projects of the future. If we investigate the theoretical state of the gender problem, we have to admit that philosophy has fulfilled its function, and the further fate of this problem is shifted to state institutions, becoming part of socio-political practice. However, the sharp theoretical differences regarding the gender subject attract the attention of philosophers all the more, because complex problems conceal the apophatic effect: the closer their solution in theoretical plan, the more difficult its practical implementation. In view of this, the editorial board of the Journal Anthropological Measurements of Philosophical Research of- fers a special issue devoted entirely to gender issues. The feminist-minded part of society expresses dissatisfaction with the implementation of gender perspectives in the spheres of managerial, political and economic activity. Women’s rights in the human rights system are not yet a priority and have not become an organic compo- nent of society because women constitute a minority of political power – managerial positions are predominantly occupied by the male part of society. The experience of women, despite the good education, non-standard way of thinking, unique female intuition, which has significant advantages in solving difficult problems, is unfairly ignored. In modern European countries, a female presence is increasingly felt in many spheres of governance, which violates the male power monopoly. It is women who have introduced new relationships in the policy, the abolition of the priority of open-ended force, which was based on the principles of social Darwinism and technological pragmatism. On the other hand, feminist and gender-based studies increasingly proclaim slogans about their independence, the material independence of women from men, which is achieved through their involvement in economic activity as a productive potential, as a necessary condition for their self-realization. Such approach is detrimental to gender anthropology. In fact, we deal with the recurrence of an economic-formative approach, in which the social reproduction of a woman is replaced by material motivation, where a woman is not a goal, but a means of production.

  • The Cases of Femen and Women of Liberia1
    Feminine Features as Political Tools: The Cases of Femen and Women of Liberia1 Rasgos femeninos como herramientas políticas: los casos de Femen y Mujeres de Liberia Gabriela Caviedes2 Universidad de los Andes (Chile) Recibido: 30-11-16 Aprobado: 07-01-17 Abstract This paper is an analysis of the different ways in which feminism can be understood, using as examples the cases of the feminist movements Femen and Women of Liberia. Both are distinguished by using feminine features as political tools, and both have been an issue of interest for audiovisual productions. Each one is the main subject of two documentaries: Ukraine is not a Brothel, that concerns Femen movement; and Pray the Devil Back to Hell, that concerns Women of Liberia movement. I shall use this material in order to present each. After presenting them I will analyze them in light of the definition and division of feminism that Karen Offen, scholar of the University of California, does. I will then conclude that Femen is an example of what she calls ‘individualistic feminism’, and Women of Liberia an example of what she named ‘relational feminism’. I will also conclude that the political position they achieve is also due to the branch of feminism they represent. Key-words: Feminism, Femen, Ukraine Is Not a Brothel, Woman of Liberia, Pray the Devil Back to Hell. 1 La elaboración de este trabajo ha contado con el financiamiento de la Comisión Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología de Chile, CONICYT-PFCHA/Doctorado Nacional/2016-21160065. 2 ([email protected]).

  • Pussy Riot & Femen
    FEMEN protest in Kiev during 2010 Ukrainian election Sisters Kick Some Patriarchal Ass Pussy Riot & FEMEN Change the Face of Feminism By Chandra Niles Folsom It didn’t take long for jailed Pussy Riot members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova to get back to kicking some patriarchal ass after being sprung from the Russian Gulag. Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova had been in the slammer for almost two years for slamming President Putin in song at a Moscow cathedral and posting it online. Since their release by Putin, just before the Winter Olympics held in Sochi, they have spoken out about their experiences to journalists, appeared on television and were introduced onstage by Madonna in New York at Amnesty International’s Bring Human Rights Home concert. They topped it off by performing in protest just outside Olympic Park during the games. The band was in town to protest what they said was lack of freedom of speech and to record a new music video called "Putin Will Teach You To Love Your Country." And as they have become well accustomed, Pussy Riot members were attacked by security officials and beaten. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivT-I-yxtdY Donning their traditional colorful ski masks, Pussy Riot was performing when they were pepper-sprayed by a Russian Cossack before other Cossacks jumped in, publicly flogging and unmasking them. One of the band's posse said that the Cossacks shouted at them, “You sold yourselves to the Americans!" A day earlier, band members had been detained and held for several hours at a police station nearby.

  • Representations of Contemporary Feminist Protest in Germany and the UK Phd in German Department of Modern Languages and European Studies
    Representations of Contemporary Feminist Protest in Germany and the UK PhD in German Department of Modern Languages and European Studies Sophie Payne 2018 Representations of Contemporary Feminist Protest I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Sophie Payne i Representations of Contemporary Feminist Protest Abstract This thesis is situated within the increasing visibility of feminism in the public sphere in Germany and the UK. Case studies of three contemporary feminist groups, representing two forms of protest, comprise this study: FEMEN, an exclusive group who perform topless public protests across Europe; #aufschrei, an online anti-sexism campaign in Germany; and the Everyday Sexism Project, another online anti-sexism campaign in the UK which was a precursor to #aufschrei. I have selected texts from three different locations from the year 2013: self-representation online, including FEMEN’s reporting on their protests and the stories of sexism shared on the hashtag feminist groups’ websites; mainstream news media representation via online articles from four major newspapers per country, with a range of left and right-leaning and tabloid and broadsheet newspapers; and the discussion forum comments from these online news articles, which provide a view into more ‘general public’ discourse. The aim of this study is not to provide a comparison across countries or media types, but to explore the ways that feminist protest is represented in different locations: how is it constructed and legitimated by the groups themselves? How is it negotiated, supported or rejected in the news media and discussion forum comments? I work with a theoretical framework provided by Discourse Theory and linguistic analytical tools from CDA, namely, social actor theory and contextually constructed opposition.

  • Performing Protest: Femen, Nation, and the Marketing of Resistance
    PERFORMING PROTEST: FEMEN, NATION, AND THE MARKETING OF RESISTANCE Jessica Zychowicz Abstract The politics of the women’s protest group Femen, viewed as a media protest performance, reveal how the group has adapted the pop cultural staging of the Orange Revolution to their brand. Femen’s controversial topless methods have instantiated widespread debates around the diverse meanings of feminism both in Ukraine and among global audiences after the group’s move abroad in 2012. The findings in this article represent three years of ongoing research including original interviews, extensive analyses of blogs, news reports, photographs, and firsthand observations of activities by Femen and other feminist groups in Ukraine. By putting on display the dialectics of the commodification of female stereotypes, Femen’s performances expose the mechanisms in the mass media branding and marketing of protest. The controversial aesthetics of the group’s parodies illustrate the rhetorical limits at the intersection of local and global forms of civic expression. Keywords: protest, new media, aesthetics, feminism, political theory In 2008 four young Ukrainians named Anna Hutsol, Inna Shevchenko, Oksana Sashko, and Roman Zviazsky living in the city of Khmelnytskyi formed a feminist protest group. Femen has since gained notoriety worldwide for their controversial topless protests that once featured mostly street theatre, but now primarily consist of flash-mob performances circulated online. Members are mostly women in their twenties and thirties, the group lists twelve active members, and over four hundred non-active members on their website. Femen originally aimed to bring greater awareness to sex-tourism in Ukraine, though their performances now target a broad range of issues they define as patriarchal.

  • Elena Volkova Communist Christianity As Russian Political Religion: Does Putin's Dystopia Look Like Trump's Dream?
    Journal of the European Society of Women in Theological Research 27 (2019) 279-298. doi: 10.2143/ESWTR.27.0.3286565 ©2019 by Journal of the European Society of Women in Theological Research. All rights reserved. Elena Volkova Communist Christianity as Russian Political Religion: Does Putin’s Dystopia look like Trump’s Dream? Abstract It is common knowledge that Trump admires dictators and lavishes praise on Putin who, as journalists counted, “he has discussed approvingly more than 80 times since 2013.” This includes gems such as “You have to give [Putin] credit that what he’s doing for that country in terms of their world prestige is very strong” and praising the Russian dictator’s “very strong control over [his] country.”1 This article offers a brief introduction into Trump’s dream – the authoritarian oppressive regime with a quasi-religious foundation, a hybrid of Communism and Christianity, that is ready to sacralise the leader and demon- ise his enemies, approve of any aggressions abroad or repressions within the country. Zusammenfassung Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass Trump Diktatoren bewundert und Putin so überschwäng- lich mit Lob bedenkt, so dass Journalisten zählen, „seit 2013 wurde er [Trump] mehr als 80 Mal anerkennend diskutiert.“ Dazu gehören Bonmots wie: „Man muss anerken- nen, dass das, was er [Putin] für dieses, sein Land tut in Bezug auf das Prestige in der Welt, ist sehr stark“ und das Lob auf den russischen Diktator angesichts der „sehr starken Kontrolle über [sein] Land.“ Dieser Artikel bietet eine kurze Einführung in Trumps Traum über das autoritäre, andere unterdrückenden Regime mit einer quasi- religiösen Grundlage, mit einer Mischung aus Kommunismus und Christentum, bereit, den Führer zu sakralisieren und seine Feinde zu dämonisieren, und jegliche Attacken im Ausland wie die Unterdrückung im Land zu billigen.

  • Is FEMEN Promoting Female Degeneracy Under the Guise of Feminism? Return of Kings | 11 October, 2014 | by Oscar Zach
    Is FEMEN Promoting Female Degeneracy Under The Guise Of Feminism? Return of Kings | 11 October, 2014 | by Oscar Zach (Warning: Most of the images and links in this article are NSFW, so exercise caution) We’ve noticed, discussed, and known how feminism has slowly spread (or is spreading) throughout the world after its rise in the West five decades back. Men who’ve traveled abroad to find feminine women in traditional societies have also sometimes discovered the slow influx of feminism, and sometimes the appalling rise of feminist activism in those societies. One such example of feminist activism is that of FEMEN. Background FEMEN is a feminist protest group whose slogan is Sextremism. It was founded in Ukraine in 2008, and is now based in Paris. The organization became internationally known for organizing controversial topless protests (ranging from from public group urination to softcore street theatre) against “sex tourism,” religious institutions, sexism, homophobia and other social, national, and international topics.
