This article aims to consider how Serbian scholars/historians approach to the study of Serbian women in the history of the independent Serbian state and the Serbian society in 1878–1918 at the current stage of the research (from the beginning of 1990th until 2017). This paper will give an overview of some of the main areas of historical studies considering Serbian women’s “being and life”. For example the historiography on history of “women’s question” including women’s movement and/or feminism will be considered as well as biographical research, the study of women’s position through the lens of the modernization process in Serbia in the 19th and 20th Century, Serbian women’s issues in gender studies and through the history of everyday and private life and family, the analysis of the perception of Serbian woman by outside observers including the study of the image of Serbian woman created/constructed by “others”.

Petite Enfance

Les spécialistes de Rome s'étaient intéressés de longue date à l'histoire de l'éducation et de la culture, thèmes dont les auteurs anciens et l'iconographie leur montraient la place centrale dans les préoccupations des élites romaines et romanisées (Marrou, 1937 ; 1948). lis n'ont « découvert » que plus récemment, à partir des années 1980, les thémes de la petite enfance et de la maternité : Philippe Ariès (1960) — relayé et prolongé dans la littérature anglo-saxonne par des auteurs tels que Lloyd de Mause, Edward Shorter et Lawrence Stone, non sans désaccords avec leur modèle et entre eux — est devenu une référence obligée en France et, plus encore, dans les pays de langue anglaise : son impact s'y est trouvé prolongé et renforcé par 1'influence des women,puis gender studies,et des recherches inspirées par les revendications des homosexuels et des « nouveaux pères ».

Neste artigo, pretende-se identificar a relativa ausência de estudos sobre as diretrizes de gênero nas investigações acerca do direito, do casamento e do adultério no medievalismo contemporâneo. As obras historiográficas sobre a articulação entre esses três aspectos foram marcadas nas últimas décadas pelo jogo de influências mútuas e sofreram numerosas atualizações, oscilando das perspectivas mais formalistas, passando pelas histórico-sociológicas até chegar às visões de caráter sociocultural. Assim, levanto em conta uma perspectiva heuristicamente comparativa, explora-se em termos qualitativos alguns títulos direta ou indiretamente dedicados a essa temática no plano europeu ocidental, sem deixar de salientar as que se referem aos textos jurídicos ibéricos ou castelhano-leoneses. A ideia central é discutir criticamente os textos como amostragens recorrentes de determinadas abordagens, (re)pensando-as à luz dos Estudos de Gênero.

Morphosyntactic Feature

‘Gender’ is a manifold notion, at the crossroads between sociology, biology, and linguistics. The Introduction delimits the scope of linguistic (or grammatical) gender, which is an inherent morphosyntactic feature of nouns in about half of the world’s languages, introducing the definitions and notions which the present work utilizes to investigate gender. While focusing on grammar, this study has implications far beyond (e.g. for gender studies), and capitalizes on findings from other disciplines, such as cognitive neuropsychology. The chapter introduces the basic aim of the monograph, which intends to account for the steps through which the Latin three-gender system was reshaped into the binary systems shared today by most standard Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, French, and Italian). One crucial definitional tool, highlighted in this chapter, is the distinction between target and controller genders: the two need not coincide everywhere, and mismatches between the two may arise—and did arise in Romance—through change.
