    This paper will analyse ways in which representation of women changed from partisans as revolutionary subjects to housewives and consumers in the late 1960's. This transformation is linked with socio-political changes in the Yugoslav context and the abandonment of women's emancipation as it was framed and adopted initially during and after WWII. Namely, the partisan struggle for the liberation from Nazi occupation, as well as the socialist revolution were two foundational myths of Socialist Yugoslavia. Women played an active role in this struggle, both as fighters and through their work behind the lines (as logistical support, spying, nursing, etc.). Likewise, equality between men and women was an important part the country's official ideology. These narratives were later memorialized through literature, cinema, music as well as comic books.

    In our work, we will explore five tropes of femininity in Yugoslav cinema: (1) the role of the partisan, (2) woman in the background, (3) collaborator, (4) worker and (5) housewife, in order to map out ways in which the representation of women between between 1947 and the late 1960's corresponds to official emancipatory politics of the time and how these tropes related with everyday life in this period. Finally, this will lead to an analysis of cinema as a collection of stories Yugoslav women and men told themselves (and others) about themselves.  This approach has the potential to indicate the antagonisms within the social context in which these films were produced, by highlighting the unattained ideals of freedom and emancipation. Simultaneously, the goal of this analysis is not to merely open up another space for a more complex exploration of the past, but also to reconsider the emancipatory potential this exploration offers us today.

    Prepoznavanje nasilja uopšte, a posebno nasilja prema ženama je deo različitih međunarodnih dokumenata, kao i domaćih zakona i strategija. Iako se institucionalni mehanizmi intervencije polako razvijaju, implementacija zakona koji štite pravo na život bez nasilja nije zadovoljavajuća.  U dugoročnom rešavanju problema nasilja prema ženama, poseban značaj zauzimaju mere prevencije, kao i pitanja: kakvu ulogu u tome može da igra škola, zatim, koju ulogu ima porodica itd.



    Centar za studije roda, Fakulteta političkih nauka – Univerziteta u Beogradu sproveo je "Istraživanje rodno zasnovanog nasilja u školama u Srbiji".  Tim povodom Centar za studije roda organizuje naučni skup na kome će rezultati ovog istraživanja biti pretpostavka za raspravu o nasilju i rodnim ulogama pre svega u školskom okruženju, kao i za razgovor o ostalim srodnim pitanjima.
