Superfluous Women

Art, Feminism, and Revolution in Twenty-First-Century Ukraine

By: Jessica Zychowicz

Superfluous Women tells the unique story of a generation of artists, feminists, and queer activists who emerged in Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union. With a focus on new media, Zychowicz demonstrates how contemporary artist collectives in Ukraine have contested Soviet and Western connotations of feminism to draw attention to a range of human rights issues with global impact. In the book, Zychowicz summarizes and engages with more recent critical scholarship on the role of digital media and virtual environments in concepts of the public sphere. Mapping out several key changes in newly independent Ukraine, she traces the discursive links between distinct eras, marked by mass gatherings on Kyiv’s main square, in order to investigate the deeper shifts driving feminist protest and politics today.

Aging Nationally in Contemporary Poland

Memory, Kinship, and Personhood

By: Jessica C. Robbins

Active aging programs that encourage older adults to practice health- promoting behaviors are proliferating worldwide. In Poland, the meanings and ideals of these programs have become caught up in the sociocultural and political-economic changes that have occurred during the lifetimes of the oldest generations—most visibly, the transition from socialism to capitalism. Yet practices of active aging resonate with older forms of activity in late life in ways that exceed these narratives of progress. Moreover, some older Poles come to live valued, meaningful lives in old age despite the threats to respect and dignity posed by illness and debility. Through intimate portrayals of a wide range of experiences of aging in Poland, Jessica C. Robbins shows that everyday practices of remembering and relatedness shape how older Poles come to be seen by themselves and by others as living worthy, valued lives.

Take Your Soul And Start To Live

By: Jessica Golawski

Natalia Lorek besitzt alles, was sie sich jemals gewünscht hat: eine wunderbare Familie und ein gemütliches Zuhause. Nur in ihrer Ehe läuft es nicht allzu gut. Und als sie herausfindet, dass ihr Ehemann Kamil sie mit ihrer besten Freundin betrügt, reißt ihr Geduldsfaden komplett. Die beiden gehen im Streit auseinander und ein erbitterter Rosenkrieg um die gemeinsame Tochter bricht aus. Von diesem Zeitpunkt an läuft für Natalia nichts mehr rund. Sie ist verzweifelt und weiß nicht mehr weiter, bis sie auf Piotr trifft. Er arbeitet in einem Diner in Zakopane und Natalia hat ihm nie besonders viel Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Jedenfalls bis zu dem Moment, als Piotr die zerbrochenen Teile ihres Herzens eingesammelt und zusammengeflickt hat. Die beiden erkennen, dass sie einander guttun, und nähern sich vorsichtig an. Doch die Scheidung von ihrem Ex-Mann steht Natalia noch bevor und Piotr scheint ein Geheimnis zu bewahren, welches er nicht mit ihr teilen möchte.
