- Description
- This book, 'Activists 'spelling out' theory' maps the roles and activities of women within civil initiatives in Croatia from a self-referential position, that is, the personal experiences of women engaged in civil society within the last two decades. Originating as the result of the research project 'Women within civil initiatives, the book deals with the inscribing of women's identity in civil/activist discourse through the questioning of the interrelationships of activist engagement and theoretical concepts. On the one hand, this book shows the power of activists in civil society as the subjects of political transformation and advocates of new cultural values: on the other hand, it makes transparant the complex controversies of women's identity position, acts of engagement, gender roles, and the strides made in the process of self-change. These multi-layered women's voices are presented within five paradigms, that is, in a contextual framework: identity, self-change, power, women's politics, and values. From a feminist perspective this book challenges the essential epistemological question, about how women can be the (self)epistemological subject in the interconnection of her experiential knowledge, theoretical contributions and methodological explorations.
