  • Platens from the Past

    Open AccessK GhodseeARTICLEEast European Politics and…2025

    This article explores the lost history of the Olympia Traveller and Traveller de Luxe typewriters. Designed in Germany but manufactured in a once multiethnic town called Bugojno in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of a thriving Yugoslav typewriter industry, these machines were once exported to all corners of the globe with more than ninety different keyboards. Sold throughout Yugoslavia under the brand name UNIS-tbm and UNIS-tbm de …

  • From the Cold War to the manosphere

    Open AccessG Downey, K Ghodsee et al.ARTICLEAmerican Ethnologist2025Referências: 4

    Since the end of the Cold War and the rise of new right‐wing political movements across Europe, the US, and elsewhere, gender has taken on heightened political and social significance. To better understand this phenomenon, AE ’s editors interview two specialists on contemporary gender: Greg Downey, a psychological anthropologist, and Kristen R. Ghodsee, an ethnographer and historian of socialist and postsocialist women's struggle for equal rights…

  • Revenge of the tampon

    Open AccessK GhodseeARTICLEConnexe les espaces postcommunistes…2023Citada por: 1Referências: 3

    I wrote this talk specifically for this conference and so my ideas are still raw. I am also not an historian, although my ethnographic research is deeply inflected with the oral historical narratives of my subjects. This is an exploratory text, still very much in progress, and I hope you will forgive the tentative nature of my reflections. This full text was first delivered as a keynote address on October 1, 2021, to the “Gender and materiality i…

  • Ce spectre qui hante le sexisme. Les femmes soviétiques dans l'imaginaire américain de guerre froide

    K GhodseeARTICLEClio2023Referências: 4

    Même avant le lancement du Spoutnik en 1957, les membres du gouvernement américain craignaient une pénurie croissante de main-d’œuvre, en particulier de scientifiques et d’ingénieurs, et s’inquiétaient du fait que la mobilisation soviétique des femmes dans la population active donnait aux communistes un avantage considérable. La dérision populaire à l’égard des qualités « non féminines » des femmes russes s’est heurtée aux besoins de l’économie a…

  • The Cultural Cold War in Yugoslavia

    Open AccessK GhodseeARTICLEDiplomatic History2022

    Since Trump’s unexpected victory in 2016 and the subsequent Cambridge Analytica data scandal, scholars and policy makers have consistently raised the alarm about foreign interference in the American electoral process. More specifically, research has exposed the depth and breadth of state-sponsored Russian disinformation prevalent on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Back in 2017, the U.S. Department of Justice forced the multim…

  • Politicized Representations of Love and Sex. Reading the GDR's Das Magazin

    Open AccessAngelina Eimannsberger, K Ghodsee et al.ARTICLEGroniek2021

    Reading the GDR's Das Magazin "It is time to recognise openly that love is not only a powerful natural factor, a biological force, but also a social factor. Essentially love is a profoundly social emotion. At all stages of human development love has (in different forms, it is true) been an integral part of culture. " -Alexandra Kollontai, "Make Way for Winged Eros" 1 Often referred to as the "New Yorker of the East, " the GDR weekly Das Magazin i…

  • Taking Stock of Shock

    K Ghodsee, Mitchell A Orenstein et al.BOOKTaking Stock of Shock2021

    Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book evaluates the social consequences of the post-1989 transition from state socialism to free market capitalism across Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Blending ethnographic accounts with economic, demographic, and public opinion data, it provides insight into the development of new, unequal, social orders. It explores the contradictory narratives on transition promoted by Western internatio…

  • Nationalizing sex

    Open AccessK GhodseeARTICLEInternational Affairs2020

    Richard Togman's ambitious book, Nationalizing sex: fertility, fear, and power, is a wide-ranging intellectual history of the discourse and praxis of ‘natalism’. For Togman, all states—whether monarchies, autocracies or democracies—have treated their subjects and citizens like one undifferentiated breeding mass, to be either encouraged or suppressed. The author promises to examine theories of fertility in the national and international context, u…

    In Red Hangover Kristen Ghodsee examines the legacies of twentieth-century communism twenty-five years after the Berlin Wall fell. Ghodsee's essays and short stories reflect on the lived experience of postsocialism and how many ordinary men and women across Eastern Europe suffered from the massive social and economic upheavals in their lives after 1989. Ghodsee shows how recent major crises-from the Russian annexation of Crimea and the Syrian Civ…

    Open AccessK Ghodsee, Kateřina LiškováARTICLEFilozofija i drustvo2016Citada por: 8Referências: 9

    In academic writing, facts about the past generally require the citation of relevant sources unless the fact or idea is considered ?common knowledge:? bits of information or dates upon which there is a wide scholarly consensus. This brief article reflects on the use of ?common knowledge? claims in contemporary scholarship about women, families, and sexuality as experienced during 20th century, East European, state socialist regimes.

    What does it mean to have a “successful” academic career? This question always haunts us when we are feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by the demands of being university professors in an era when higher education has become a consumer product that ambitious parents purchase to ensure their children's entrée into the ever dwindling ranks of the American middle class. When we are still up at 2:00 am grading papers, correcting page proofs, writing l…

  • Le « socialisme réel » à l'épreuve du genre

    Isabelle Brouard Arends, Ionela Băluţă et al.OTHERClio2015

    Depuis la chute du mur de Berlin, on a un peu oublié comment vivaient les femmes et les hommes dans les pays dirigés par des partis communistes et communément appelés du « socialisme réel ». Ce numéro, qui offre des contributions sur l’URSS, la Mongolie, divers États d’Europe de l’Est après 1945, la Chine et Cuba, tente de répondre à deux questions : comment et jusqu’où le socialisme, porteur d’une utopie égalitaire, a-t-il modifié les rapports d…
