| Title | Survival Against All Odds - An Analysis Of Perseverance In The Community Earth For Us |
| Summary | In this thesis I am writing about a community on island Brač in Croatia called Zemlja za nas [Earth for Us]. It is a women's community with a strong focus on ecology and feminism. Community has been shaping and changing in the last 15 years, especially with the influx of new members. The main question I answer with my thesis is what is the bond that holds this specific community together even after many changes and crises. I will be covering literature related with ecofeminism, women and lesbian organising and community and social movement research, with topical literature about communities in Croatia and the postsocialist Croatia to contextualise the specific local situation. With this text and the story of my informants I bring the answer to a bigger overarching question about what community means to its members, how they think it is created, formed, transformed and how they can be sustained. |
