Gender and Mobility: Peripatetic Nursing Through the Balkans and Beyond (1870s–1930s)
By integrating a study of gender, class, and nationality as categories of analysis, this article identifies nursing mobility as a multidirectional and asymmetric social phenomenon and employs a comparative approach at several levels: national, regional, and transnational. Nursing spatial mobility encompassed three major trends: influx of foreign nurses, intra‐state moves, and international fellowship circuits. The article, based on multilingual a…
Disability in exile: The “Union of Russian Invalids”in interwar Bulgaria and Yugoslavia
This article examines the post-war experience of a specific group of war veterans: the Russian refugees after the October Revolution in 1917. What happened when disabled veterans were stateless and dispersed among several foreign states? The focus is on comparing interwar Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, two countries on opposite sides of the Great War. There the refugees established various societies, mostly dominated by the military. Drawing on unpubli…
Between Empire and Nation: Muslim Reform in the Balkans
Monarchism with a Human Face: Balkan Queens and the Social Politics of Nursing in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
How were monarchy, gender, and nationalism entwined? Through contextualized comparisons of selected case studies (two generations of royal women in four countries: Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, and Serbia/Yugoslavia), this article explores, in gendered terms, the instrumentalization of nursing as an evolving relationship between state building, warfare, welfare, and voluntary organizations. It argues that certain queens' interventions in nursing suc…
The Wandering Orthodox Nuns: Religion and Gender in the Nineteenth-Century Central Balkans
This article discusses a specific type of religious travel-not pious pilgrimage to the Holy Lands-but more mundane trips performed by Eastern Orthodox sisters to beg for donations within and between three multi-confessional empires. More specifically, it focuses on how nuns' spatial movements put them on the bigger imperial and transnational maps of church, state, and society and contributed to negotiating space for gender. By combining mobility …
Serving the State: Military and Public Health Practices in Bulgaria (1878–1908)
This article focuses on Bulgaria and looks at the interconnected processes of building public health services and military institutions in the late Ottoman Empire and its other Balkan successor states: Greece, Serbia, and Romania. An elite class emerged from this development that moved between the army and civil service and vice versa. The paper draws on four case studies to follow the career paths of physicians who straddled two worlds – empire …
Les infirmières au service du nouvel État bulgare (1878-1941)
Cet article analyse la professionnalisation progressive des infirmières en Bulgarie. Dans le contexte des profondes transformations sociales de l’espace post-ottoman, l’histoire des infirmières permet d’explorer en termes de genre les relations entre santé publique, processus de construction de l’État et institutions civiques. Deux phases caractérisent cette histoire correspondant aux évolutions du nationalisme de l’État bulgare et de l’intervent…
Balkanization
Balkanization refers to the violent disintegration of large entities into small and hostile political units. The term was coined around the end of World War I and the emergence of the Versailles System that superseded the old multiethnic empires with a mosaic of new nation‐states. Its political usage comprises three periods. Initially, it signified recent events such as the Balkan Wars (1912–13) and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand i…
Balkan Transitions to Modernity and Nation-States: Through the Eyes of Three Generations of Merchants (1780s-1890s)
In contrast to research on elites or "history from below," this study offers an approach that can be called "mesohistory" – a collective social biography of the Balkan merchants. In foregrounding the voices of traders, this study sheds fresh light on multiethnic networks of social actors navigating multiple social, political, and economic systems – supporting and opposing various aspects of nationalist ideologies. Personal accounts humanize featu…
Post-1989 shopping tourism to Turkey as prologue to Bulgaria's “return to Europe
The shift to a market economy is a more complex story than the standard “transition” narrative implies. Shopping tourism is a socio-cultural phenomenon that illuminates the shifting relationship between the state, its citizenry, and the market. Its existence is predetermined by a weak state and incorporation into a global economy. Shopping tourism offers a link between the socialist economy of shortage and the post-socialist informal economy. It …
