Emancipating Rural Women in Interwar Yugoslavia: Analysis Of Emancipating Rural Women in Interwar Yugoslavia: Analysis of Discourses on Rural Women in Two 1930s Women‟s Periodicals By Isidora Grubaĉki Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Comparative History Supervisor: Professor Balázs Trencsényi Second reader: Professor Francisca de Haan Budapest, Hungary 2017 CEU eTD Collection Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This thesis explores the ideas and, to a limited extent, practices of emancipation of rural women in the interwar Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes / Yugoslavia that preceded the radical empowerment of women that took place with the establishment with socialist Yugoslavia in 1946. The thesis is a comparative discourse analysis of the ways two different periodicals edited and published by women constructed the desirable roles of rural women in the 1930s. The periodicals in question are: Seljanka: list za prosvećivanje žena na selu (1933-1935) [Peasant Woman: Periodical for Enlightenment of Women in the Countryside], the only periodical in interwar Yugoslavia published specifically for rural women, and Žena danas (1936-1940) [Woman Today], a periodical that had a strong feminist, pacifist and antifascist stand with a hidden communist agenda. By constructing the desirable image of rural women in the public sphere, the discourses I analyze shaped the ideas of how and in which ways the changes in the lives of rural women in Yugoslavia should occur. As this thesis argues, these discourses of emancipation of rural women were influenced by different political and social ideologies of the period, usually perceived as conflicting, such as eugenics, nationalism and traditionalism, communism/socialism and feminism, and different approaches to Yugoslav nation-building, integral and federal. By looking at these two periodicals, I show how the approach of the educated, elite women towards „the rural woman question‟ became more inclusive and more radical as World War II was approaching and as „the woman question‟ got increasingly involved with socialist ideology.

The exhibition was a major event as it gathered a group of curators, sociologists and historians to propose a concept, content and organization of a new permanent exhibition of the Museum of Yugoslav History.1 The stated aim of the exhibition was to, “in a modern, attractive and objective way,” present “one of the most interesting and most controversial state-building experiments in the 20th century.”2 Although the exhibition was a genuine attempt to overcome the nationalist narratives and ask questions about the history of the Yugoslav country, I found the depiction of Yugoslavia as a “controversial state-building experiment” less objective than it was claimed. I was particularly struck by the representation of women‟s emancipation in Yugoslavia. This – indeed very marginal - segment reproduced the popular stereotypes about the history of women‟s emancipation in the socialist period, saying that the women‟s emancipation in Yugoslavia began only after World War II, as well as that even though after the war women got the right to vote and had more rights to work – nothing had really changed.3 1 The authors of the exhibition were curator Ana Panić, sociologist Jovo Bakić and historians SrĊan Cvetković, Ivana Dobrivojević, Hrvoje Klasić and Vladimir Petrović. 2 “Yugoslavia: From the Beginning to the End,” accessed

    Synthesizing Current Research: Women‘s Higher Education and the World Wars ANNE M. E. MILLAR Abstract This paper considers the extant scholarship on the impact of the First and Second World Wars on women‘s higher education in Canada. No published monograph examines this topic, a reflection of the wider lack of scholarship on women‘s world war experiences in this country. In order to synthesize existing research, scholarship from military history, women‘s history, and the history of higher education is assessed. Despite the extensive historiography on both the First and Second World Wars, a number of areas remain unexamined by Canadian historians. Many topics, notably the impact of war on women and the family, have garnered attention only recently, in large part due to the influence of social history and second wave feminism. Concentrated in the last forty years, scholarship on wartime women has been predominantly concerned with analyzing the impact of the world wars. Scholars initially emphasized the ways in which these conflicts opened up traditionally male spheres to women and the role this played in bringing a change in gender norms. Women‘s historians, in particular, have focused on the impact of wartime mobilization on women‘s labour, while more recently, historians of higher education have added to these discussions by exploring women‘s entrance into the professions, and by extension, women‘s access to professional training. There is still much missing from this analysis. To date, there is no published full-length monograph examining Canadian women in institutions Strata Anne M. E.

  • Research Proposal for the Phd Program in Comparative History An
    Research proposal for the PhD program in Comparative History An Intellectual, Organizational and Transnational History of Feminism in Interwar Yugoslavia (1918-1941) While recently there has been an increase in the interest in the history of women’s organizations and practices and the intellectual history of feminism in the period of socialist Yugoslavia (Chiara Bonfiglioli, Zsofia Lorand, Ivana Pantelić), as well as in the history of feminism and women’s writing in Serbia before World War I (Ana Stolić, Biljana Dojčinović, Ana Kolarić), disproportionally little has been written about feminist ideas and practices in interwar Yugoslavia. The image of the feminist project in interwar Yugoslavia has been so far embedded into state- socialist narratives and largely shaped by concerns about the workers’ movements. Moreover, feminist historians in the 1980s and 1990s have been mostly preoccupied with the previous, socialist interpretation and have not tackled many of the complexities of the interwar period, such as, probably the most obvious, multiple identity building projects in Yugoslavia. By looking at numerous publications written by Yugoslav women, I as well as the work of various women’s organizations, the aim of my proposed research is to explore feminist ideas and practices in interwar Yugoslavia and to understand what the concept of feminism meant and how it was used in this historical context. Historians often characterize Yugoslav interwar women’s movements and practices simply as “conservative,” “socialist” and “liberal.” I intend to examine this division by investigating these currents of thought in Yugoslavia up to the beginning of World War II, with a special focus on the collaboration between the established “liberal” organization Ženski pokret [The Women’s Movement] and young women from the Yugoslav Communist Party who joined Ženski pokret from 1935, during the Popular Front.

  • Digraphs in Sava Mrkalj's Writing System
    Digraphs in Sava Mrkalj’s Writing System Shuko Nishihara Abstract Sava Mrkalj is known for his role in the reformation of the writing sys- tem of the Serbian literary language, as he proposed the new Cyrillic writing system in his work Salo debeloga jera libo azbukoprotres [Fat of the Thick Jer, or Alphabet Reshuffling](henceforth, Fat of the Thick Jer) (1810). Compared to the system established by Vuk Karadžić, Mrkalj’s writing system is imperfect and transitional, because its alphabet system retains four digraphs (дь, ль, нь, and ть) against the phonemic principle of his reform. This article discusses how Mrkalj’s alphabet system main- tains consistency, reflecting his order of priority. Keywords: Serbian language, Cyrillic letters, Sava Mrkalj, language standardization, orthographic reform. 1. Introduction Modern standard Serbian orthography is based on the principle of one sound corresponding to one letter, and although exceptions exist, the language may be “read as it is written,” to use the words of Johann Christoph Adelung.1 Nineteenth-century Serbian linguist, folklorist, and 1 Johann Christoph Adelung (1732–1806), German grammarian and philolo- gist.

This article will show how Mrkalj’s writing system, put forth in Fat of the Thick Jer (1810), was linked to Karadžić’s orthography.

  • Women's and Gender History in Central Eastern Europe, 18Th to 20Th Centuries
    Forthcoming in: Irina Livezeanu, Arpad von Klimo (eds), The Routledge History of East Central Europe since 1700 (Routledge 2015) Women‘s and Gender History1 Krassimira Daskalova and Susan Zimmermann Since the 1980s, historians working on East Central Europe, as on other parts of the world, have shown that historical experience has been deeply gendered. This chapter focuses on the modern history of women, and on gender as a category of analysis which helps to make visible and critically interrogate ―the social organization of sexual difference‖2. The new history of women and gender has established, as we hope to demonstrate in this contribution, a number of key insights. First, gender relations are intimately related to power relations. Gender, alongside dominant and non-dominant sexualities, has been invoked persistently to produce or justify asymmetrical and hierarchical arrangements in society and culture as a whole, to restrict the access of women and people identifying with non-normative sexualities to material and cultural goods, and to devalue and marginalize their ways of life. Second, throughout history both equality and difference between women and men have typically resulted in disadvantage for women. Men and women have generally engaged in different socio-cultural, political and economic activities, and this gender-based division of labor, which has itself been subject to historical change, has tended to put women in an inferior position. Even when women and men appeared as equals in one sphere of life, this perceived equality often resulted in drawbacks or an increased burden for women in another area and women‘s contribution was still devalued as compared to men‘s.

  • Budapest and Thessaloniki As Slavic Cities (1800-1914): Urban Infrastructures, National Organizations and Ethnic Territories
    Central and Eastern European Online Library E3 Budapest and Thessaloniki as Slavic Cities (1800-1914): Urban Infrastructures, National Organizations and Ethnic Territories <<Budapestand Thessaloniki as Slavic Cities (1800-1 914): Urban Infrastructures, National Organizations and Ethnic Territories), by Alexander Maxwell Source: Ethnologia Balkanica (Ethnologia Balkanica), issue: 09 12005, pages: 43-64, on www.ceeol.com. ETHNOLOGIA BALKANICA, VOL. 9 (2005) Budapest and Thessaloniki as Slavic Cities (1800-1914): Urban Infrastructures, National Organizations and Ethnic Territories Alexander Mmtwell, Reno (Nevada) The rise of nationalism is an essential element in nineteenth-century urban life, since the social and material conditions that give rise to nationalism first appeared in urban areas. This paper explores national movements arising in a city that (1) was dominated by another ethnic group and (2) lay outside the national ethnoterritory. Specifically, I examine Slavic national movements in Thessaloniki and Budapest1. The emergence of Slavic nationalism in these cities demonstrates that urban institutions were more important to emerging national movements than a demographically national environment. The foreign surroundings, however, seem to have affected the ideology and political strategy of early nationalists, encouraging them to seek reconciliation with other national groups. "Nationalism" had spawned several distinct and competing literatures; any author discussing the subject must describe how he or she uses the term. Follow- ing the comparative work of Miroslav Hroch (1985), I am examining the social basis of movements thatjustified their demands with reference to the "nation". But while Hroch is mainly concerned with the emergence of movements seeking political independence, I examine several Slavic patriots who fought for cultural rights, usually limpistic rights, while simultaneously defending the legitimacy of the existing state.
