political movements in Galicia around 1900
This study analyzes history as performance as the interaction of actors, plays, stages and enactments. By this, it examines women's politics in Habsburg Galicia around 1900, a Polish woman active in the peasant movement, a Ukrainian feminist and a Jewish Zionist. It shows how the movements constructed essentialistically regarded collectives, experience as a medially comprehensible form of credibility and a historically based inevitability of change, and legitimized participation and intervention through social policy and educational practices. Traits shared by the movements included the claim to interpretive sovereignty, the ritualization of participation and the establishment of truths about past and future.
1. Finding roles: the participants (Heroic narrating, or: Maria Wysłouchowa and love ; Dramatic directing, or Natalja Kobryns'ka and books ; Theatrical enacting, or: Rosa Pomeranz and charisma) -- 2. Propagating: the plays (Writing collectives into existence ; composing experience ; enacting history) -- 3. Organizing: the stages (Ritualizing education ; Rehearsing nation ; Designing society) -- 4. Mobilizing: the enactments (Recitations about role models ; Monologues about competition ; Dialogues about practice).
