Left Feminist Theory and Historiography: Between the Legacy of State-Socialist Emancipation and Today's Crises
Abstrakt
Organized on the initiative of the COST Action New Exploratory Phase in Research on East European Cultures of Dissent (NEP4DISSENT), in association with the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the Department of Gender Studies at the Faculty of Humanities of Charles University in Prague, and Contradictions: A Journal for Critical Thought, the workshop will explore two broad issues: the current crisis of capitalism and liberal democracy and the legacies of state-socialist emancipation. By connecting feminist political thought, theory, and philosophy with the history of Eastern and Central Europe, this event aims to facilitate an intellectual and political exchange of ideas between theoretical approaches and historical-analytical reassessments of one of the most ambitious projects of women's emancipation in the past.
