REMINDER: CfP: Gender and consumer cultures in late- and post-authoritarian Greece, Spain and Portugal, 1960s–1980s (Publication); DL: 20.08.2013

Juli 29th, 2013

Dr. Kostis Kornetis, New York University; Dr. Eirini Kotsovili, Simon Fraser University; Dr. Nikolaos Papadogiannis, Humboldt University of Berlin

Deadline: 20.08.2013

We invite scholars to submit abstracts for a proposed volume on the intersection of gender and consumer cultures in Greece, Portugal and Spain from the 1960s to 1980s. The three countries serve as ideal examples for a comparative and, potentially, a transfer analysis, based on similarities with regards to their political and financial conditions as well as to the significant social and cultural changes that occurred in the late period and in the aftermath of the Francoist regime (1936/39–1975), the Estado Novo (1933–1974) and the military dictatorship in Greece (1967–1974). We welcome the contribution of scholars working in diverse fields of the humanities, such as history, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, media studies, discourse theory, political theory and performance studies.

Haus der FrauenGeschichte, Wolfstraße 41, 53111 Bonn, Website

Die Akteurinnen des Haus der Frau­en­Ge­schich­te verstehen diese als ei­ne Ge­schich­te der Ge­schlech­terbeziehun­gen und als ei­ne ent­schei­den­de allgemein-his­tori­sche Kraft. Seit 1974 be­stimmt die­se Zielsetzung For­schung und Leh­re am ers­ten Lehr­stuhl für Frau­en­Ge­schich­te in Deutsch­land an der Universität Bonn. Em. Pro­fessorin An­nette Kuhn verfolgt das mit einer privat­rechtli­chen und gemeinnützigen Stiftung, der Trägerin des Hauses, weiter.

„Erinnerung verpflichtet – Zukunft fordert“

In der Dauerausstellung wird aus einer frauengeschichtlichen Perspektive die Geschichte seit über 40 000 Jahren erfahrbar. Der Weg führt über die sog. Hochkulturen im Mittelmeerraum nach Europa ins christliche Mittelalter und in die Moderne – bis zur Fran­zö­si­schen Revolution. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Frauenbewegungen in Europa, ihren Kampf um die Anerkennung der Menschenrechte sowie auf der Frauenpolitik in Deutsch­land von 1938 bis 1958. Im Widerstand von Frauen werden Visionen und Konzepte für eine Welt der Zukunft sichtbar.
