| This class explores the antecedents of contemporary problems in Poland. It examines the social, political, and cultural history of the Polish lands from the earliest written record in the 10th century to the present day. The course considers the consolidation and expansion of the Polish state in the medieval and early modern periods, the evolution (and decline) of noble democracy, repeated foreign incursions and Polands changing place in the world. Emphasizing the variable meanings of Polishness over time, we look at the fluctuating boundaries of Polish territory, the shifting membership in the Polish national community, and the diverse population that has comprised this heterogeneous state. Along the way, we consider the role of religious dissenters, the meanings of Sarmatism, and the position of witches, Roma (gypsies), Jews, and other outsiders in Polish culture. In the modern period, the course examines Polish refugees and migrants, peasants and workers. Topics also include the construction of democracy during the interwar Second Republic, the impact of the dual Nazi and Soviet occupations during World War II, the Nazi Holocaust; Communism and the rise of political dissidence, Solidarity and the collapse of the communist system, and the transition to liberal democracy after 1989. | ||||||||

| 3 hours Feminisms of the Other Europe Feminisms of the Other Europe Complex Trajectories of the Polish Feminist Movement(s) after 1989 This course offers an introduction to the recent history of the Polish feminist movements. It provides an explanation of the political, social, and technological contexts in which feminist movements have been operating, characterizes the forms, themes, and concepts that have dominated the movements in consecutive decades, and exemplifies these with case studies of pro-choice/pro-abortion activism. The focus on pro-choice/pro-abortion activism will facilitate meaningful discussions, as both in the United States and in Poland the issue of abortion is a central topic of public debate. The objective of the proposed course is to examine the distinctive characteristics of the Polish feminist movement in the context of the Other Europe. The central question that will be addressed throughout the course is as follows: What is the most appropriate way to describe the feminist movements that originated in the former Eastern Bloc? A number of sub-questions will be posed for consideration. What are the defining characteristics of the Polish feminist movements that emerged in the period following 1989? What are the essential contextual considerations? What challenges do feminist movements in the region known as Other Europe pose to the dominant feminist historiography? In what ways might the transnational and decolonial frameworks be employed to facilitate discussion of Polish feminist movements? Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||
