Накратко на български
Феминистичните идеи и правата на жените в ГДР, Унгария и Югославия между 1945 и 1956 г. се анализират чрез творчеството на интелектуалци и журналисти. Това помага за по-балансирано разбиране на процесите по еманципация на жените в ранния социализъм.

The Intellectual Heritage of Feminist Political Thought during Early State Socialism. The Cases of the GDR, Hungary and Yugoslavia
The Intellectual Heritage of Feminist Political Thought during Early State Socialism. The Cases of the GDR, Hungary, and Yugoslavia This project explored the comparative and transnational intellectual history of feminist thought and women’s rights discourses in three East Central European countries: the German Democratic Republic (GDR), Hungary, and Yugoslavia from 1945 until 1956, the early years of de-Stalinisation. Drawing on a wide range of sources in four languages, and integrating the voices of women from ethnic and sexual minorities, this innovative project aimed at tracing the circulation and transfer of feminist ideas in the region during the crucial period of ‘building socialism’, when communist regimes were implementing radical policies to achieve the emancipation of women. The project’s overall objectives were to trace the individuals (intellectuals, artists, journalists, or other thinkers) who defined the discourse of women’s emancipation after 1945; to show the continuity, on the level of ideas as well as individuals, before and after 1945; and to contribute to the debates about memory politics and women’s emancipation regarding this period. The latter point is the one with the most obvious societal relevance, which was however organically supported by the first two objectives: Through the multifaceted ways in which women contributed to and generally shaped the ways women’s emancipation was conceptualised in these three East Central European countries, the research could offer a balanced analysis of the era, neither falling into the trap of treating women’s emancipation during early socialism as purely a top-down, authoritarian process (as often portrayed in contemporary ethno-nationalist right-wing political discourses), nor over-romanticising what early socialism did for women.

Цел на проекта
This project will be the first comparative and transnational intellectual history of feminist thought and women’s rights discourses in three East Central European countries: the German Democratic Republic (GDR), Hungary, and Yugoslavia from 1945 until 1956, the early years of de-Stalinisation. Drawing on a wide range of sources in four languages, and integrating the voices of women from ethnic and sexual minorities, this innovative project will trace the circulation and transfer of feminist ideas in the region during the crucial period of ‘building socialism’, when communist regimes were implementing radical policies to achieve the emancipation of women. This project reinterprets the story of feminism in the region in relation to state socialism and the history of state socialism through the lens of feminism. It also refines and challenges both the notion that women’s equality was fulfilled by state socialism and that there was no feminism behind the “Iron Curtain.” Socialist regimes claimed to have solved the ‘women’s question’ and dismissed feminism as outdated and unnecessary. But this project argues that feminist ideas informed a variety of intellectual and political discourses after 1945, including both official discourses of women’s rights, and more critical perspectives on questions such as the limits of political participation, reproductive rights, the uneven and highly gendered division of domestic work and even violence against women. This project will reconstruct the multiplicity of official and unofficial feminist discourses circulating in East Central Europe even during the period of Stalinism. By situating the broad variety of sources in their local, regional and transnational contexts, this project integrates feminist political thought and women’s rights discourses in these three East Central European countries into the broader European intellectual tradition and within a larger intellectual history of global feminisms.
