| Riassunto: | Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, people have rather forgotten how women and men lived in the countries governed by Communist parties, often described as countries under “real socialism”. This issue, which contains articles on the former USSR, Mongolia, various European states after 1945, China and Cuba, seeks to respond to two questions: how, and to what extent, did socialism, theoretically committed to an egalitarian Utopia, modify gender relations? And what might a gendered approach enable us to understand about socialism? Depuis la chute du mur de Berlin, on a un peu oublié comment vivaient les femmes et les hommes dans les pays dirigés par des partis communistes et communément appelés du « socialisme réel ». Ce numéro, qui offre des contributions sur l’URSS, la Mongolie, divers États d’Europe de l’Est après 1945, la Chine et Cuba, tente de répondre à deux questions : comment et jusqu’où le socialisme, porteur d’une utopie égalitaire, a-t-il modifié les rapports de genre ? Qu’est-ce qu’une approche de genre fait comprendre du socialisme ? |
