Do the Kerala nurses in Germany break the myth of migration as a male-space?
No full textDatta A, Basu A. Do the Kerala nurses in Germany break the myth of migration as a male-space? Migration and Diversity. 2023;2(3):299-309.In this paper, we are interested in the curious case of the Kerala nurses in Germany in the 1960s and '70s and their location in the context of gender-migration interface. These migrants challenge the myth of migration that migration is quintessentially a male-dominated space where women are largely represented as dependents. The moot point of this paper is to explore their cases within the larger context of gender-migration nexus and break this myth. As a women-driven immigrant community, the nurses from Kerala offer a perspectival shift in terms of understanding heteronormative structures within migrant households and outside, including adjustments in gender-roles and gender-based performances. Through this paper we argue that heteronormativity is often replaced by transnational patriarchy, because diaspora formation, similar to nation-building, is a patriarchal process.</p

Magnanimous Kunti by Samaresh Basu/ সমরেশ বসুর কলমে মনস্বিনী কুন্তী
No full textSamaresh Basu wrote a number of books based on Puran-Mahabharata under the pseudonym Bhramar and Kalkoot. Such as, ‘Shamba (1978)’, ‘Juddher Sesh Senapati (1984)’, ‘Prachetas (1984)’, \u27Pritha (1986)\u27, ‘Antim Pranay (1987)’ etc. ‘Pritha’ was published in the magazine \u27Prasad\u27 under the pseudonym \u27Bhramar\u27. In such books, the author analyzed the traditional story of the Puranas in a new perspective.
One of the memorable Panchakanyas in Puranas, Empress Kunti has been recreated in the light of the author\u27s spirit in this book. In the present article we will discuss how the character of Kunti has been recreated by Samaresh Basu in \u27Pritha\u27.
At the beginning of the story, before reaching the context of Kunti, the author undertakes a very realistic analysis of heaven-hell, Gods-demons, Samhita era-Puranic era, male-female relationship, marriage customs, child birth and the position of women in society. Then he explained the solitude, self-immolation and transition of Kunti from a feminist perspective.
The story of love-marriage-motherhood-heroism-restraint-pain-sacrifice of this remarkable female character of Mahabharata has been captured in a new way in the unique writing of Kalkoot. Inventing many thoughtful arguments the author tried to establish the father-son relationship between Yudhisthira-Vidura and Karna-Durbasha. How the author incarnated new contexts in the familiar story of Mahabharata and how he made it acceptable by arranging relevant arguments in favour of his new thoughts – this essay will try to elaborate these points
Varieties of European women's movements
No full textEuropean women’s and feminist movements reflect European (and world) history, along with cultural and political differences. The mobilization of women and feminists in Europe has been shaped by colonialism and post-colonial relations, fascism, the Cold War, and varieties of capitalism as well as varieties of secularism. It has been influenced by the strength of labor movements and the Catholic Church as well as by the European Union. While there are some commonalities, there are also persistent distinctions between European women’s movements. European countries are characterized by a variety of welfare and gender regimes that result in different relationships between feminist movements and the state. There are also significant diversities within regions, for example, with respect to variations in an authoritarian past, the role of the Catholic Church and the status of sexual and ethnic minorities. Furthermore, countries joined the European Union at various times and EU membership had distinct consequences depending on the state of gender equality and gender policies prior to joining the EU. It needs to be kept in mind that the EU is not identical with Europe. For example, Switzerland and Norway do not belong to the EU, and Turkey is a candidate for membership. Thus, while there is an ongoing interaction among European women’s movements, that does not necessarily mean convergence. European women’s movements have experienced state feminism and professionalization processes at different points in time and to varying degrees. They are characterized by diversity within and across countries, combining insider and outsider activism. In addition to surveying women’s movements in Western, Southern, Northern and Eastern Europe, this chapter gives an overview over European Women’s Networks, web-based activism, Majority-Minority Relations, the shift from State to Market Feminism and feminist responses to Austerity measures
