“Such women—such a nation.” Antifeminism and Female Mobilization in the Fascist-Axis Slovak State

Nešťáková, Denisa

Nazism, Fascism, and regimes under influence, such as the Slovak State, promoted a traditionalist and patriarchal view of the role of women in society, offering a definition primarily as mothers. The present article explores how, by way of mass mobilization efforts, the Slovak State positioned women both as instruments in reinforcing the regime’s stance and as active agents in promoting its political agenda, examining the state’s efforts to provide alternatives to suppressed feminist movements, and shedding light on the complex and often contradicting roles of women.

The Role of Fanzines in the (Re)production of Subcultural Capital. The Authenticity, Taste and Performance of “Coolness” in the Zines of the Subculture of Czech White Power Skinheads in the 1990s

Prokůpková, Vendula

Taking a specific case of the subculture of the Czech “White Power skinheads” in the 1990s, this paper engages with the role of zines, zine-makers and other contributors (such as readers whose letters to the editors were published, or interviewees) in the (re)production of subcultural capital and the formation and reproduction of alternative hierarchies in the subcultural field.

“‘Tis with the Chalice that We’ll Defend Our Country against the Cross...” Analysing and Comparing the Contents of the Neo-Nazi Fanzine Skinformátor and the Utraquist Zine Kalich

Charvát, Jan

Fanzines simultaneously reflected the subculture’s ideological cleavages, including those within the far-right branch itself (disregarding anti-racist or apolitical fanzines). As the racist skinhead subculture formed in the first half of the 1990s, it split into the more-or-less open neo-Nazis, on the one hand, and the so-called Utraquist skinheads, with their ideological amalgam of nationalism, racism and authoritarianism, on the other. The Utraquist skinhead groups are a unique Czech phenomenon; they have no international counterparts and have thus far received minimal attention.
