本文比较了性别,家庭结构和家庭内的照顾安排在阿尔巴尼亚的近代历史的两个明显不同的时期之间的相互关系。第一个时期是共产主义时期,由恩维尔·霍查的国家社会主义专制政权统治。相比之下,随后的后共产主义时期的特点是一种反应性的自由资本主义和高比率的国内和国际移民,后者主要是希腊和意大利。这种大规模移民使家庭四分五裂,导致丈夫与妻子和子女分离,移民子女留下了老一辈人。所有这一切都与共产主义时期的家庭、住宿和护理安排形成了鲜明对比,当时不仅家庭通常住得很近,而且国家福利也可用于支持弱势和孤立的个人。然而,在这些时期,照顾责任的负担几乎完全落在妇女身上,尽管社会主义时代的平等主义意识形态和后社会主义移民对妇女代理的潜在现代化和赋权影响。这篇文章提供了一个宝贵的经验教训,在历史上的性别,家庭和护理制度在鲜明对比的社会模式。
This article compares the interrelationships between gender, family structures and intra-family care arrangements during two markedly different periods of Albania's recent history. The first of these, the communist era, was dominated by the autocratic state-socialist regime of Enver Hoxha. In contrast, the post-communist period that followed was characterised by a kind of reactive free-for-all capitalism and high rates of both internal and international migration, the latter mostly to Greece and Italy. Families have been torn apart by this mass emigration, resulting in husbands separated from their wives and children, and older generations left behind by their migrant children. All this contrasts with family, residential and care arrangements during the communist period when not only were families generally living in close proximity, but also state welfare was available to support vulnerable and isolated individuals. Across these periods, however, the burden of care responsibilities fell almost wholly on women, despite the egalitarian ideology of the socialist era and the potentially modernising and empowering effects of post-socialist migration on the agency of women. The article provides a valuable lesson in historicising regimes of gender, family and care across dramatically contrasting social models.
