Sažetak
Nationalist projects are multiplex, multi-dimensional and
historically specific. The main aspects looked at in this article are
those relating to genealogy and origin, those related to culture and
tradition and those related to citizenship and state. In all of them
gender relations play crucial roles, constructing notions of
femininity and masculinity, naturalize power relations and reproduce
biologically, culturally and symbolically national collectivities.
Feminist politics, aimed at the promotion of women's position and
power in all societies has had to confront the reality that their
positions, as that of the men in their national collectivities, are
constructed by a myriad of social divisions and other historical
forces. Only by acknowledging and confronting differences among
women as well as among men, can there be any process of political
dialogue which could transcend and bridge these differences.
