So, the impact of WWI on women would fit pretty well within the framework of groups that are excluded or marginalized and are able to shift their social position into a more central one. It is not too specific especially if you do a comparison or two (women were – and still are – marginalized in the workplace, etc. This is not exactly the same as being excluded by a foreign aggressor, either in war or colonial conquest).
Throughout this course we have seen that various groups have perceived themselves as
excluded from, marginalized by, or subject to a dominant group and its world view. Such
groups must decide to find a way to be included, overturn the dominant group and its world
view, or create an alternative space in which they can pursue their own goals unhindered by
others. This is to say that the options are assimilation, rebellion, or separation. Each
strategy has costs and benefits. The cost of assimilation might be the loss of cultural
identity. The cost of rebellion may be failure and increased exclusion or success and the
challenge of maintaining power over those that were displaced. The cost of separation may
be limited access to resources or the need to artificially reinvent the group’s culture in terms
set by (in opposition to) the dominant group.
Wood’s American colonists, Adas’s colonial subjects, Eckstein’s Germans, Roberts’ women,
Arendt’s masses (and Nazis for that matter), Kovály’s Czechs, Fanon’s Algerians, etc., have
all sought ways to avoid being excluded subjects. Early in the course we considered
Condorcet’s assertion that modern enlightenment must lead people to pursue increasing
equality. Yet, politics today (both domestic and international) continues to center around
the relationships between those in “power” and those who are not. The question of gaining
access to power or protecting oneself from other people’s power and influence arises in less
overtly “political” relationships. Families, institutions, social groups, and many other
communities (both institutional and “imagined”) struggle to find ways to allow greater
inclusion. Benedict Anderson reminds us that groups are in part defined by the presence of
others who are outside this group, those that are excluded. This can create a problem.
Using Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth as a centerpiece, consider the ways that Kovály,
Arendt, and at least one other author approach the question of how various groups attempt
to assert themselves when they believe themselves to be excluded or marginalized. In what
ways do those attempts require the construction of a specific “historical perspective”?
