Austro-Hungarian Women’s Activism from the Southern “Periphery” Across Ethnic Lines
Through the examples of Adél Nemessányi, Milica Tomić, Jelica Belović-Bernadžikovska, and Nafija Sarajlić, four women activists, public workers, and writers from the southern “peripheries” of Austria-Hungary who belonged to different ethnic groups, this paper examines the complex local, regional, and trans-regional aspects of women’s awakening and organizing in the Dual Monarchy. While none of these four women belonged to any associations that de…
Narrating the Danube Swabian Identity and Experience from Women's Perspective
This article uses selected memoirs by American women who came from the Danube Swabian minority in present-day Hungary and Serbia (former Yugoslavia). The entire ethnic group was expelled from the region at the end of World War II. All five memoirs were published in the new millennium. This article examines how the narratives frame memories of a prewar happy childhood from young women’s perspective. The childhood memories are presented in stark co…

Creating a Gendered Transnational and Multigenerational Trauma Narrative in Márta Mészáros’s Film, Északi fény [‘Aurora Borealis’]
In this paper, Schwartz offers a gendered analysis of Mészáros’s most recent feature film [‘Aurora Borealis’]. She argues that the film presents a transnational narrative about repressed traumatic memories as they pertain to sexual and political violence dating back to the early 1950s. The film explores the effects of postmemory (Hirsch) through three generations across Hungary, Austria, Russia (the former Soviet Union), and present-day Spain. Wi…
Trauma, Haunting, and the Limits of Narration in Gabi Köpp’s Warum war ich bloß ein Mädchen , Leonie Biallas’s “Komm, Frau, raboti”
In this article the author examines three examples of German women’s life-writing that thematize mass rapes by the Red Army at the end of the Second World War from the perspective of adolescent girls, regarding their representation of the rapes and the way they frame the trauma experienced by the survivors along with short- and long-term consequences. The author argues that despite the effects of what Suzette Henke calls “scriptotherapy” the narr…
Hybridity, ethnicity and nationhood
Relying on the biographical narrative Leila, a girl from Bosnia and the recorded narratives by adolescents born of wartime rape in Bosnia and Herzegovina we illustrate the difficulties and symbolic implications associated with negotiating hybrid identities in post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina against the dominant post-conflict discourse based on ‘pure’ ethnicities. We argue that in today’s Bosnia and Herzegovina, hybrid identities are marginal…
Hybridity, Alterity, and Gender in Marie Eugenie delle Grazie’s Autobiographical Prose
This paper explores Marie Eugenie delle Grazie’s selected autobiographical narratives through an intersectional analysis of hybridity, ethnic stereotyping, and gender. Although cultural hybridity is presented as a positive reality of interethnic living in the environment of the narrator’s childhood as well as within herself and her family, there is a shift in this imaginative geography toward an everincreasing construction of Germanness as the do…
Gender and Modernity in Central Europe
Sexual Cripples and Moral Degenerates
Shifting Voices
Previous scholarly attention to Hapsburg culture has emphasized its German-centred aspects. Shifting Voices brings a new focus to the Hapsburg Empire's rich Hungarian component through a comparative feminist analysis of women's literary contributions in Austria and in Hungary.
