  • Family Strategies for Coping with Precarisation in Post-socialist Bulgaria – Between Retraditionalisation and Transformation

    Open AccessA LulevaARTICLESlovenský národopis2024

    In the period of post-socialist transformation, precarity is becoming the new normal for Bulgarian society.The precarisation of a large part of the middle generation (people born between 1950 and 1980), which met the end of the communist regime hoping for a radical change, became a source of disappointment and led to a loss of people's hope for a better life.In this article, I address the issue of how people of this generation experienced and ref…

  • Issues of Uncertainty

    Open AccessM Benovska, A LulevaARTICLESlovenský národopis2024

    In the late twentieth century, social theorists described late modernity as an age and world of "risk and uncertainty" (Beck, 1992;Sennett, 1998).Ulrich Beck defined the society we live in as risky, marked by "endemic uncertainty", and in 2013, Sigmund Baumann said: "What is novel is not uncertainty.What is novel is a realization that uncertainty is here to stay... we are challenged with a task, which I think is unprecedented -and the task is to …

  • Labour as a Right, Duty, Matter of Honour and Repression in State-Socialist Bulgaria

    A LulevaARTICLEBalkanistic Forum2023

    Open AccessGergana Nenova, A Luleva et al.ARTICLEEast European Politics and…2023Cited by: 2

These meanings are seen as reflecting the intertwining and cumulative effects of transnational and local influences in the anti-gender movement. Using frame analysis as an approach in social movement studies, the aim is to analyse the main i…

  • The past of the socialist childhood through the lens of the Bulgarian literature

    Open AccessA LulevaARTICLEGlasnik Etnografskog instituta2022

    The Childhood during the State-socialist Bulgaria is thematized in a plethora of novels and auto-fictional literature, published in the last three decades. Many of these works pose the question ?Is the past of my own childhood a ?foreign country? for me?? This is a question very close to the anthropological one: ?Could we know and understand our own (childhood?s) past as insiders?? In this paper I will take a close look at the presentations of th…
