The Dynamic of Identifications Within Nationalistic Discourse: From Archetypes to Promising Female Roles

The paper considers the significance of nation and gender in the context of post 1989 transitions in the former Yugoslavia. The text critique the way in which narratives of nationhood and womanhood naturalize and essentialize difference and hierarchy. The author explores uses of sexualized/gendered imagery in defining the space of the nation (e.g. feminized landscapes and battlefields) and sexualized/gendered metaphors of state fatherhood and motherhood in defining the distribution of power within that space.
