Tetyana Dzyadevych will speak about women’s experience during World War II. Her analysis focuses on stories of ordinary women who did not participate in any military actions or resistant movements even if they sympathized with any of them. The subjects of this study are women who lived under occupation or in evacuation.
At the center of her research is the everyday life of women in wartime. Her focus will be comparative and cross-national. The sources for her research are women’s personal narrations like diaries, memoirs, and oral interviews. Dr. Dzyadevych will discuss dominant patterns in women’s personal narrations during the War, aiming to look at both what and how women wrote at wartime. She will share results of her inquiry into wartime female subjectivity through the study of reflections of the women’s inner world in their personal narratives. What did they think about? What did they write? How did they feel during the war campaign?
