The paper aims to critically analyze the construction of feminist East/West debates in the context of the anthology Gender Politics and Post-Communism (Funk, Mueller 1993). It does so from the perspective of other critical feminist voices as well as global power relations, taking effect in the international feminist academic community. Its starting point are discussions related to differences among women in feminist theories, which started in the 1980s and, in relation to them, the concept of "discursive colonization" (Chandra Talpade Mohanty), which underscores the effects of power/knowledge (Foucault) in international feminist research related to...

The paper discusses the uses of the concept of the political in both feminist political theory and mainstream postfoundational political theory, and its implications for feminist political theorizing today. In feminist theory, the concept primarily emerged as a counter-reaction to the disputed foundations of feminism, the subject of women. The political was identified with contingency and contingent foundations; however, no thorough exploration of the term was carried out within the field of feminist theorizing. The mainstream postfoundational political theory rests in identifying political difference, i.e. a difference between the ontic level of politics...

The paper analyzes the ways in which the state approach to homosexuality in Communist Czechoslovakia intersected with actually lived lives and experiences of ordinary non-heterosexual people who identified (mainly retroactively) as gays, lesbians or transsexuals. In the Czech context, this is the first research of its kind and combines oral history with a gender analysis of sexological literature from the communist period, to put together a complex mosaic of sexuality in recent past. This confrontation of methods exposes the processes by which gender and sexuality in this era worked as tools of regulation and control, and shows how non-heterosexual...

The period of Normalization in Czechoslovakia is often perceived as a grey "Eastern iceberg" where life stood still and uniformity governed. My analysis of sexological discourse, particularly of texts focused on perversity, juxtaposes the normalized ethos of the period with deviant sexual subjectivities. I analyze papers and debates presented at annual sexological conferences in the 1970s and 1980s. Sexuality, especially in its non-normal/deviant forms, was revealed as unstable, a quality sought to be "rectified" through gender which was perceived as binary. The family was interrogated as a source of deviance and also as a place of redress. While sexological...

Border theory, an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of cultures located (especially) on the U.S.-Mexican border, was to a great extent initiated by the publication of Gloria Anzaldúa's multigenre masterpiece Borderlands/La Frontera - The New Mestiza (1987), which in terms of postcolonial studies resists the canon of American literature and puts forth an indigenous, geographically and culturally situated theoretical concept of Mestiza consciousness which aims to defy Western dualistic thinking. The article, rooted in postcolonial perspectives and literary studies, looks at historical concepts of the American border, investigates the metaphorization...

The paper presents an analysis of Deepa Mehta's film trilogy (Water, Fire, Earth) through the concept of a border identity. The Protagonists of Deepa Mehta's Film Trilogy may serve as examples of border identities or identities "in-between" (cf. Homi Bhabha). The "in-betweeness" is illustrated through the lens of various categories and their intersections - especially those of gender, sexuality, social status, religion (religious community) and tradition/individual freedom in general. For all the films, overstepping traditional taboos is typical, be it the mythological taboos, those of collective communal identities, traditional gender roles and stereotypes...

The study deals with tomboyism from the perspective of past and current psychiatric and sociological research, and proposes a new approach to this liminal phenomenon operating in-between binary opposites of traditional femininity and masculinity. This approach makes use of intersectional analysis developed by feminists of colour to address interlocking systems of oppression based on both race and gender, and combines it with the issue of performance and the notion of identity as fluid. It also challenges usual interpretations of tomboy narratives, as is shown on the analysis of two films with tomboyish characters - Robert Mulligan's To Kill a Mockingbird...

Explaining which circumstances, influences and phenomena enter into the gender of a text, the paper considers the conditions of its translatability. In the first part, examples of English-Czech translations of non-literary and literary texts are chosen for discussion. It is argued that even texts with a feminist potential, i.e. texts in whose themes and forms gender issues are highlighted as an apparent result of the author's political intention or imaginative work, can lose this potential in the process of being translated into Czech. This is the case in the work of translators who are blind to gender manifestations in the text, and/or who suppress...
