Conferința Internațională "Gender and Politics under Communism – New Perspectives on Central and Eastern Europe"




În zilele de 24 și 25 mai 2012, Institutul de Investigare a Crimelor Comunismului și Memoria Exilului Românesc, în parteneriat cu Fundația Konrad Adenauer, organizează la Bucureşti Conferința Internațională Gender and Politics under Communism – New Perspectives on Central and Eastern Europe

Inițiativa oferă posibilitatea prezentării și cunoașterii noilor direcții și proiecte de cercetare care se opresc asupra funcționării regimurilor comuniste din perspectiva studiilor de gen. Se poate vorbi despre un feminism de tip marxist specific țărilor socialiste: care era natura politicilor de « promovare a femeilor » și care au fost rezultatele concrete în timpul regimurilor comuniste. Cum poate fi apreciată din punct de vedere cantitativ și calitativ reprezentarea politică feminină în comunism? Care sunt consecințele în țările post-socialiste? Abordarea va fi una pluri și transdisciplinară, consolidând colaborarea academică la nivel regional.
