Abstract

In this article I analyze the coping strategy of members of the Louise Otto-Peters Society of Leipzig, Germany, that attracts women members of the former East German intelligentsia, who share a common predicament: they have lost their jobs and professional status consequent to East Germany's collapse. They cope with their predicament by re-experiencing themselves as able professionals and organizing public events that focus on Louise Otto-Peters (1819–1895), founder of the National German Women's Organization. Based on their coping strategy, I create a framework for analyzing similar associations. My framework highlights the following components: the members' predicament, status claims, intended audience, and the symbolic means that they deploy to realize their status claims.

前东德知识分子女性成员的应对策略
在这篇文章中,我分析了德国莱比锡Louise Otto Peters学会成员的应对策略,该学会吸引了前东德知识界的女性成员,她们有一个共同的困境:由于东德的崩溃,她们失去了工作和职业地位。她们通过重新体验自己作为有能力的专业人士的身份,并组织以德国国家妇女组织创始人Louise Otto Peters(1819–1895)为中心的公共活动来应对困境。基于他们的应对策略,我创建了一个分析类似关联的框架。我的框架强调了以下组成部分:成员的困境、地位主张、预期受众,以及他们为实现地位主张而采取的象征性手段。
