- Description
- This collection traces representations of East European women in Western art and culture, drawing connections between these philosophical, artistic, and cultural constructions and actual historical, socio-political realities. The articles analyse narrative, theatre, opera, journalism, film, and media, over a period of two centuries, in order to demonstrate that certain stereotypical and simplistic views of East European women have long been perpetuated in the Western world.
