Накратко на български

Самотните майки и техните стратегии за социално включване след развод или разделяне се анализират чрез сблъсъка между личното им преживяване и институционалните дефиниции за семейството. Това е важно, защото броят на тези жени расте, а условията, в които живеят, влияят на децата им.

Study on TRansition and Exclusion in Society of Single-Mums

The project looks at (1) how lone mothers negotiate between the dominant definition of family and parenthood proposed by institutions and professionals and the multiple situated definitions embodied and enacted by themselves as mothers, and (2) how they claim for social inclusion during the phase of transition that concerns their separation or divorce. The project aims to understand how parenthood and family, as “gendered realized” (reified) categories of thought, affect lone mothers’ trajectories during that transition, and the difficulties that these mothers face and the solutions that they enact in that phase of transition. These topics are important for the society as (1) in European countries, lone motherhood is considered an increasing social problem, not only for its statistical visibility (visible since the 1990s, its projections to 2025-2030 suggest an increase), but also for its changing nature: now lone parents are mainly divorced and separated women, with a small percentage of men, and (2) many studies call attention to the conditions of partial citizenship in which some of these women live, and the effects that this can have on their children. This project takes into consideration one of the priorities described by the Horizon 2020 Programme, gender equality, and the need to study the everyday strategies and social practices that lone mothers act and use to claim social inclusion as processes of ‘active’ social citizenship. Furthermore, as one of the goals of the MSCA Individual Fellowship is to foster the development of the researcher, this project included not only training-through-research activities but also specific training activities and transfer of knowledge which helped the Fellow in restarting her research career after a long break.

Цел на проекта

Lone motherhood is considered as an increasing social problem, not only because its increase but also since it leads to diverse and separated women having only a partial citizenship. There is little knowledge on the social relations and practices that contribute – or do not contribute – to protecting and socially including lone mothers, beginning from the crucial transition to lone parenthood: the judicial evaluation. Focusing on the transition from double parenthood to lone motherhood and, in particular, on the period of judicial evaluation for child custody and judicial decisions for children/family allowances and divorce/separation, this project aims to investigate some specific aspects of the socio-cultural construction of an active gender citizenship by future lone mothers. The interest is in lone mothers’ everyday strategies and social practices to claim inclusion and to negotiate (or not negotiate) the dominant definition of family and parenthood proposed by institutions and professionals, and the less legitimated and multiple situated definitions of lone parents and their families. Introducing the everyday dimension into the study of gender citizenship has the purpose of exploring the lone mothers’ manifest and hidden ‘work’ of legitimation and of possible de-legitimation by institutions. Adopting the sociological approach of Institutional Ethnography (IE) as a method, this study will collect data in three EU countries (Belgium, Italy and Spain) and in the UK, with discursive interviews to lone mothers, professionals and gender issues activists, participant observations, and photo-voice. The action includes an extensive training in life course studies and gender studies, advanced qualitative methods and academic English language. This action will be hosted by the University of Antwerp, with a secondment phase at the University of Edinburgh and visits at the University of Granada and at the IEN-Institutional Ethnography Nordic Network.
