 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'This projects links the state socialist conceptualizations of gender equality with current struggles for women’s rights at national, regional and supranational level proposes new conceptualization of women’s agency under the authoritarian regimes and with limited access to international networking. It employs concepts of “gender equality”, “ women’s agency”, “state feminism” and “transnational women’s movement” as the major categories for studying the development of state equality projects and the impact of state socialism on the gender regimes in Georgia between 1921-1990 and in Poland between 1945-1989. This cross-national study of the state-socialist project of gender equality will apply interdisciplinary research methods including oral history, institutional ethnography, textual analysis and archival work to: 1.) destabilize existing paradigm of understanding the relationship between state socialism and post-state socialist gender relationships in terms of disruption and discontinuity, 2.) reconceptualize the notion of women’s agency under state socialism by recognizing socialist states as site for development of supranational women’s agenda, before Beijing Conference in 1995, 3.) deliver more comprehensive understanding of state socialist “gender equality” by recognizing the role that local political and cultural forces, religion and nationalism played in shaping and altering state socialist project of gender equality in various locations.'
