Instrumental Borders of Gender and Religious Conversion in the Balkans

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper I look at religious identifications and affiliations in the Balkans as instrumental political resources for ascertaining hierarchical relations among social groups and individuals, with extensive use of gendered metaphors, referring to different categories of people as either effeminate or truly manly, and actual women often used as a currency of exchange.
