This article will illustrate through a case study of the intervention of the Catholic Women Speak Network (CWSN) at the Synod of Bishops on the Family, the dynamic movement within Steyn’s Critical Diversity Literacy theory from ‘reading’ the social script of injustice to conscientisation and finally actions for transformation, a methodology similar to that of feminist theologies. In the Catholic Church power, privilege and leadership are institutionalised in the hands of celibate males, and in the context of the Synod they had power to vote on teachings on family life. This hegemony that excludes women’s voices and essentialises women was challenged by the CWSN, illustrating connections between theory and praxis as well as diversity as a critical tool of resistance.

Increased Pressure

The results of two questionnaire surveys of migrant owner-occupiers in Northampton, England, are reported. The major focus of interest is the importance of changes in the family life cycle in promoting mobility as a consequence of changing housing needs. It is demonstrated that demographic changes did not necessarily predispose households to move to acquire more space. Households which moved because of increased pressure on their housing space were significantly less well provided with space, but they had not experienced greater demographic change. They had always been relatively less well provided. It is suggested that this is because they opted to substitute either a newer or a more detached house for more space when they purchased the property. The behavioural model of residential mobility is reassessed in the light of these findings.

Abstract The narratives of homecoming told during the last years of the Second World War and the first few years of peace drew on the elements of a literary romance: valiant heroes, loyal heroines, and a period of hardship culminating in the hero's triumphant return and the welcoming embrace of the woman he'd left behind. The moment of reunion, however, heralded the beginning of another story: veterans' reintegration into family life in the wake of war and separation. This paper examines the renegotiation of relationships between male war veterans and their spouses, children, and parents. Using Montreal as a case study, it argues that although the family was promoted as an agent of postwar healing, veterans' readjustment to family life was difficult. The fact that war had strained and sometimes shattered relationships was harder to bear given the rhetorical force of the reunion narrative for veterans and their families.

The paper analyses the status, role and identity of young countryside women and their impact on the family and organization of a social life in a village Dudovica. Findings of the survey carried out during 2003 are presented. Understanding the specific social and private life from an angle of young countryside women was the basic aim of this case study. The results are compared with the findings of the survey conducted earlier by Maja Korac. The survey findings show that traditional identity pattern is not predominant, although it still exists together with traditional values and preferences and is in the process of transformation. Young women are not marginalized in their personal and social life, but have public, private and family life, which is partly a result of their higher educational and economic level and certain independence, which was not the case fifteen years ago.
