Lecture
Feminism and Marxism in Women’s Thought in Socialist Hungary and Self-Managing Yugoslavia
Lecture by: Zsófia Lóránd, RECET, Uni Wien
Moderation: Eszter Kováts, IPW
Abstract:
The long debates between feminism and socialism about the place of class and gender in progressive politics were re-invigorated in unexpected ways by the Marxist renaissance and second wave feminism in various locations across East Central Europe. Women in Yugoslavia developed a feminist critique of the perseverance of socialist patriarchy as early as the mid-1970s, and many of the new feminist thinkers were inspired by Marxist revisionism, the Lukács School among them. The philosopher Ágnes Heller’s work from the early 1970s was one of their main inspirations – a surprising choice in many ways. My talk draws on the Yugoslav feminist interpretations of Heller’s work and the broader potential of “feminised Marxism” or Marxist feminism in the writing of Nada Ler Sofronić, Blaženka Despot, and Nadežda Čačinovič to map the relevance of Marxist revisionism for these authors, and as a path to reinterpreting Heller's early work on women, the family, and feminism.
