The paper aims to critically analyze the construction of feminist East/West debates in the context of the anthology Gender Politics and Post -Communism (Funk, Mueller 1993). It does so from the perspective of other critical feminist voices as well as global power relations, taking effect in the international feminist academic community. Its starting point are discussions related to differences among women in feminist theories, which started in the 1980s and, in relation to them, the concept of “discursive colonization” (Chandra Talpade Mohanty), which underscores the effects of power/knowledge (Foucault) in international feminist research related to women in Third World contexts. The analysis in the second part of the paper focuses on the contributions by Nanette Funk, Hana Havelková and Jiřina Šiklová, which have been, in the literature, repeatedly related to the feminist East/West debates. Based on this analysis I argue that the central focus on differences along the “East”/“West” dividing line is the cornerstone of these debates, but, at the same time, it masks the power relations which co -create them. The point is an interaction of the East/West hierarchy with an essentialist and theoretically limited notion of Western feminism. Departing from that, I track how this interaction has shaped further developments of the debates, and explore how a non -essentialist understanding of Western feminism and, in relation to that, a turn toward examining the reproduction of global power relations through mainstream feminist analytical approaches, makes it possible to go beyond the identified limits of feminist East/West debates. and Obsahuje bibliografii
Během několika uplynulých tisíciletí byla Malta – středozemní souostroví se dvěma velkými a osídlenými ostrovy Malta a Gozo – zcela zbavena lesních porostů s převládajícími borovicí halebskou (Pinus halepensis) a dubem cesmínovitým (Quercus ilex). Současná planě rostoucí vegetace, tvořená převážně degradovanou macchií a formacemi garrigue a frygana, je nyní soustavně potlačována šířícími se sídlišti. Nicméně stojí za to navštívit Maltu a seznámit se s její květenou vyšších rostlin, čítající kolem jednoho tisíce druhů (včetně 36 zajímavých orchidejí), a to zejména v časně jarním období., Malta, a Mediterranean archipelago with two large, inhabited islands, has over the past millennia been totally deprived of forests with dominating Allepo Pine (Pinus halepensis) and Holm Oak (Quercus ilex). The contemporary wild vegetation – mainly of degraded macchia, garrigue and phrygana is being continuously suppressed by urban explosion. Nevertheless, the Maltese wild flora numbering around 1,000 vascular plant species (including 36 interesting orchids) makes a visit to Malta worthwhile, particularly in the early springtime., and Jan Čeřovský.
