| Title | Tracing the Subversive Femininities in the Socialist Yugoslavia: An Analysis of Katalin Ladik's Poetry and Performances of the 1970s |
| Summary | This thesis is about Katalin Ladik, a Hungarian artist born in Novi Sad (Serbia) in 1942, and her art works produced mainly in the 1970s in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). I limit my analysis to her poetry, early performances and several late performances within the timeframe ranging from the late 1960s till the first years of the 1980s, and analyze her art production within this timeframe as an example of the feminist art work. In order to support my claim that Ladik’s work in the 1970s was feminist, I emphasize the importance of the context that recognized her as subversive. Comparing contemporary reactions published in the Yugoslav press, interviews conducted with Ladik and official socialist discourse regarding gender and art policies, I examine what was considered as “subversive” in the socialist Yugoslavia of the 1970s. |
