The aim of this study was to explore gender differences in motivation for choosing teaching as a profession and perceptions of men's demotivation for the choice of this profession. 279 preservice ...subject teachers from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, filled in the FIT-Choice Scale (Watt and Richardson, 2007) and the Demotivation of Men for Teaching Career Choice Scale. Results revealed that, regardless of their gender, preservice subject teachers were primarily motivated by the intrinsic and social utility values of teaching, while specific gender differences imply the importance of the role of social factors in men's choice of this career. Low status of the teaching profession was perceived as the dominant reason for demotivation of men to choose it. Women were more likely than men to assume that men are demotivated to choose teaching because it is a "women's profession". Policy implications of findings on men's (de)motivation for teaching are discussed.
In both Socialist Yugoslavia and the European Union, the establishment of women’s rights can be determined as an integral part of supranation-building. While bearing in mind the long and unbroken ...tradition of patriarchy, both entities, partially under the influence of feminist theory and practice, have integrated the fight for women’s rights into their political agendas, using them as an identity tool in establishing a clear distinction from the opposed political, economic and socio-cultural systems. Imposed from the above, the introduction of gender equality policies and legislation to many of their (nation) states came as a shock therapy, challenging existing traditional cultural patterns and norms while making the results uneven and fragile. Women’s rights policies were, especially in the beginning, primarily economic in nature, concentrating on the inadequate position of women in the labor market and ignoring the structural reasons behind inequality.

This paper is about women’s complicity or women’s involvement in actions that directly or indirectly lead to the restriction of other women’s freedoms and rights. Among the first to mention women’s ...complicity was Simone de Beauvoir, who in her book The Second Sex described the phenomenon of women’s participation in unjust patriarchal practices, suggesting the existence of passive (forced, unintentional) and active (intentional) complicity. Using Christopher Kutz’s theory of collective complicity and its extension by Brian Lawson, the validity of the notion of female complicity is examined through selected examples of anti-female practice mentioned in the works of feminist theorists. Although feminists spoke of women’s complicity in the context of women’s self-objectification, domestic work, and political activity on the right, the conclusion of this paper is that only in the latter case can we speak of active and then only of feminist and politically relevant female complicity

U ovom će radu biti riječi o odnosu između novovjekovne ideje napretka i društvenih promjena. Premda je s negativnom kritikom čovjekovih intelektualnih i, značajnije, moralnih kapaciteta u kreaciji ...boljega društva i svijeta dovedena u pitanje utopijska ideja o svijetloj budućnosti, ideja napretka još uvijek egzistira u suvremeno doba. Ono što ostaje problematičnim, što se i dalje može s pravom smatrati podbačajem ideje napretka, nalazi se u odgovorima na tri pitanja: o subjektu napretka (tko se razvija?), o objektu napretka (što se razvija?) i o sredstvu napretka (kako se razvija, tj. na koji se način napredak ostvaruje?). U beskompromisnom suočavanju s odgovorima na njih i s posljedicama pronalaženja boljih alternativa davno zadanim premisama napretka leži rehabilitacijski potencijal ideje napret¬ka i terapijski potencijal društvenih promjena.

This article employs an anthropology ‘at-home’ approach to discuss dimensions of social and cultural changes amongst women in posttransitional societies. By applying person-centred ethnography, we ...aim to provide rich insights into the socio-cultural context and individual development of a young woman in Croatia. We examine how a young woman reasons about what kind of a person she is and wants to become by comparing the different sets of basic values that she ascribes to her emancipatory efforts, with a focus on how she juxtaposes ‘traditional family roles’ and ‘feminist values’. The article thus describes how this woman (Jadranka) experiences life challenges and shapes social values in her everyday cultural settings.
