{"title":"Learning, Performance, Fatigue and Regret: Tales of Motherhood on Russian Social Media in the 2010s–2020s","authors":"Olga Isupova","doi":"10.1080/09668136.2023.2267808","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09668136.2023.2267808","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThe essay examines changes in the conceptualisation and practice of motherhood in Russia from the 1990s up to the 2020s. From the 1990s, a mother’s obligations towards a child rose sharply in comparison to the Soviet era. Motherhood has become individualised and isolating, while expectations of maternal work have intensified. In the relatively affluent 2000s, a Western model of ‘intensive mothering’ became popular among women who could afford not to work, but this dropped out of favour in the more straitened 2010s, as women were forced to return to work. However, by this point, right-wing ideologists were promoting ‘traditional values’, according to which women’s role was primarily caring for others. This research demonstrates, drawing on a special interest motherhood group, #Shchastyematerinstva, on the Russian social media website VKontakte, that motherhood is now, for many Russian women, a heavy and unwelcome burden.

(Citation2021) there are several different forces within the contemporary Russian conservative wing, ranging from extreme conservative nationalists who believe that child-bearing and rearing are the natural destiny of women, who should not have to do paid work, to centrists who, like Vladimir Putin himself, prefer the Soviet model of a strong mother who combines hard work with obligatory motherhood.2 This arrangement was named the working mother Soviet gender contract, often also known as the ‘double burden’ by Temkina and Rotkirch (Citation2002).3 A symbolic representation of a heroic mother of heroic sons based on a war propaganda poster ‘The Motherland Is Calling You!’, addressed to soldiers, available at: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Родина-мать_зовёт!, accessed 3 October 2023.4 Federal’nyi zakon № 256-FZ ot 29 dekabrya 2006 ‘O dopolnitel’nykh merakh gosudarstvennoi podderzhki semei s det’mi’, available at: http://www.kremlin.ru/acts/bank/24820, accessed 2 February 2023.5 R250,000 in 2007, gradually increased in line with inflation to R639,432 in 2021.6 R483,882 for the first child and R155,550 for the second.7 For example, Matza (Citation2018).8 See Biryukova and Makarentseva (Citation2017).9 Orna Donath has studied situations of women who deeply regret that they became mothers even if this had happened in a socially and economically favourable situation.10 #Shchastyematerinstva, available at: https://vk.com/zaiki_luzhaiki, accessed 10 February 2023.11 ‘Mama, it’s Hard for the Kids of Unhappy Parents To Be Happy, You Know?’, Livejournal blog ‘Ya-yasna-ya’, 18 July 2015, available at: https://ya-yasna-ya.livejournal.com/251663.html, accessed 2 February 2023.12 #Shchastyematerinstva, VKontakte, 27 June 2020, available at: https://vk.com/wall-98382141_140","PeriodicalId":47775,"journal":{"name":"Europe-Asia Studies","volume":"18 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135634328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Navigating a ‘Shrinking Space’: Selective In/Visibilities and EU Engagement with Civil Society in Azerbaijan","authors":"Laura Luciani","doi":"10.1080/09668136.2023.2267196","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09668136.2023.2267196","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractIn a context of legal and political repression, wherein even EU funding came to be politicised, Azerbaijan’s civic space has been shrinking. This article problematises EU engagement with civil society in the neighbourhood by examining its on-the-ground negotiation in a complex field of visibility. It argues that human rights groups in Azerbaijan strategically activate selective in/visibilities to navigate the competing understandings of civil society's role mobilised by the European Union and the authoritarian state. While EU support deepens the dichotomy of independent versus government-organised civil society, the emergence of new subject positions beyond the NGO realm prefigures a critique of neoliberal donor–recipient ties.

Each individual grant has to be registered and approved by the authorities before the beneficiary organisation can spend it. Non-registered organisations cannot be considered as grant recipients. Despite amendments brought in during 2017 to simplify these time-consuming and complex procedures, most of the influential foreign NGOs and donor institutions have left the country and the amount of aid has fallen. Fines for not complying with the law have significantly increased (Human Rights Watch Citation2016; Ismayil & Remezaite Citation2016).2 See also O’Dowd and Dimitrovova (Citation2011).3 Shirinov includes ‘independent civil society organisations’ as one of the groups constituting the political opposition in Azerbaijan, next to political parties and ‘loosely connected groups of individuals … engaged in a critical deliberation of the political realm’ (Shirinov Citation2015a, p. 172). These three categories can ‘fuse from time to time into larger societal blocks—for instance prior to elections—and challenge the government’ (Shirinov Citation2015a, p. 172).4 Due to","PeriodicalId":47775,"journal":{"name":"Europe-Asia Studies","volume":"2 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135972656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
