Gender and order. Gender regimes in culture - today and through history

Abstract

The theme of the volume brings six papers devoted to the research of gender in the frame of ethnology and anthropology, but also in the wider interdisciplinary frame. This interdisciplinary intertwinement represents characteristic that is related to the gender and women studies, so I turn also to the appearance of these topics in the local frame of ethnology and anthropology, but also in the wider context of the development of schools and academic periodicals that deal with gender. The papers bring various researches and topics: the research of gender in Croatian ethnology and creation of analytical category that was abused and termed ideology; the creation of discourse about gender ideology; research about artists who act subversively through anti-fashion transgenre; problems of sexuality and reproductive rights of women in the socialist Yugoslavia that was influenced by emancipatory strategies on one hand, and deep patriarchal norms on the other; paper about women’s law of inheritance in Central Balkans in Osman times, that the same as the former paper, points to the discrepancy between norm and practice.
