Сексуальная жизнь женщины
Abstract
Данная монография предназначена тем, кого интересует анализ
гендерных отношений и социальная организация сексуальной жизни.
В книге анализируются биографический опыт женщин поздне- и пост-
советского поколений из Таджикистана, Армении и России. Для этих
обществ характерно различное сочетание модернизационных и тради-
ционалистских тенденций в сфере сексуальной жизни. Автор отвечает
на следующие вопросы: каковы последствия советской гендерной мо-
дернизации на уровне индивидуального опыта интимной жизни; как
была организована сексуальная жизнь в позднесоветский период; ка-
кие изменения в сфере сексуальности происходят в настоящее время
в этих трех странах.

This volume is the first to take a systematic look at the position of women in the post-Soviet states of the former USSR. It is divided into two main parts: the first focuses on the economy, society and polity of the Russian Federation; the second gives specialists' insights into social, political, economic and military developments in the other republics of the former Soviet Union. The book pays special attention to women's own perceptions of their lives. How do factory workers, street vendors and rural workers view their jobs? How do the women who served in Afghanistan, migrants, politicians, political activists, soldiers' mothers and feminists portray their worlds. What strategies of coping have women devised to deal with no electricity in Armenia, with unwelcome sexual advances from fathers-in-law and with violence from partners in Russia? Why did women in Georgia travel on a peace train? How has war affected lives in the Caucasus and in Central Asia? This book explores strategies of coping and forms of adaptation, noting that women are agents, as well as victims.

The question of ‘values’ has for the past decade been seen as part of the ideological baggage of the New Right. When referring to issues of sexuality it has become a code term for challenges to the changes that have shaken the sexual world: deep and visceral hostility to changes in family life, the impact of feminism, the rise of lesbian and gay politics, and passionate opposition to open sex education, changes in lifestyle, and in the United States in particular, to women’s access to abortion and the ‘right to choose’. When the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher spoke of the need to return to ‘Victorian values’ in the early 1980s, few had any doubt what she meant, even if her history was a little shaky. Similarly, when her successor John Major spoke of the need to go ‘Back to Basics’ it was not hard to detect a moral agenda, even if, typically, it soon disintegrated when faced by the realities of most people’s (including politicians’) lives.
The book concentrates on presenting the results of the national survey study in 1992. The central aim was to establish the changes in Finnish sex during the last 20 years (Sex life of Finns 1974, in Finnish language by Kai Sievers, Osmo Koskelainen and Kimmo Leppo). Our models were also Hans Zetterberg's ja Alfred Kinsey's sex studies in Sweden (1967) and USA (in the 1940s).
