Description of the Project
|
In my empirical study of the careers of Children’s Villages, I work through two questions: first the professionalization of motherhood, i.e. the transformation of the “natural” position and occupation of a mother into a career, and second the effect of the export of a cultural model in different sociocultural contexts, which I examined through fieldwork in »Mother Schools« and SOS Children’s Villages in Bolivia and Austria. This study examines the intersection of gender theory, cultural-historical, and cultural anthropological approaches, and builds on a number of different scholarly debates surrounding transformations |
