Reenactment and Gender Aspects in the Reconstructions of World War 2 Events
Blažková, Eliška ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Tremčinský, Martin (referee)
This research focuses on the Czech community of people interested in World War II, the so-called reenactors. This community focuses on an authentic depiction of the past. In this context, I deal in depth with the gender aspects of the reconstruction of the events of World War II through the reenacting scene. Whether women in the community accept their roles and whether they do not mind returning to the original position that women had in the 1940s. The key is to understand how the members of the reenactment think about the role of man and woman during the Second World War and how they produce this idea to this day in the reenactment scene. The motivations of members to participate and their ideas of the body are also important. This research is based on existing socio-anthropological frameworks. The qualitative method has been used. A total of nine interviews were conducted with members of this group to keep the gender ratio the same. In the end, five men and four women took part in the interviews. Women do not feel limited in their opportunities, when in fact they are limited by their dichotomously divided gender roles. Women, like men, are led to participate by a love of history and a reminder of the merits of men and women who took part in the fighting during World War II.
