который состоится 27 ноября 2019 года.
С докладом на тему
Family as an institution, gender roles within the family, social norms and ideas about the birth control and education of children are always in the focus of ideology and social practices of all political systems, whether authoritarian or totalitarian or democratic. The modern, nation-styled state of the first half of twentieth-century Europe, in both its democratic and fascist forms, employed eminently authoritarian policies to extend rule over the domain of domestic life by regulating the family, sexuality, reproductive behavior and parenting (Glass 1940, 1949; Teitelbaum and.Winter 1985; Quine 1996 and others). Personal choices become political issues of critical importance to politicians seeking to safeguard the national interest by altering fertility. ‘Pronatalist family policies are an integral part of the mythology of nationalism’ (Albanese 1995:190).
The totalitarian regimes are necessarily characterized by more pronounced nationalist and fascist traits which, in turn, as the international experience shows, closely linked with the ideas of pronatalism and population growth. Apparently, no country faced with totalitarianism at a certain stage of their historical development, has escaped the temptation to actively implement political measures to regulate the family, marital relations and procreation of their citizens based on ideologies of traditionalism and pronatalism. And those measures of “social engineering” were reinforced by populist rhetoric of national leaders and by diverse systems of enforcement, including institutions that were integral elements of such regimes. Populistic appeals to traditional family values, followed by institutional changes favouring the mobilization of the society by the state, encouraged people to give their allegiance to the national leader-dictator. Here we can refer to the numerous testimonies of the well-known experiences of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Franco's Spain, France before and under the Vichy regime, and militarist Japan, but also of less known practices in Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Portugal, Brazil, Chile and others in the time of dictatorships (see Teitelbaum and Winter 1985; Nash 1991; De Grazia 1992; Ipsen 1996; Quine 1996; Pine 1997; Passmore 2003; Albanese 2006, Baloutzova 2011 and others).
Some countries in their history have experienced not one, but several periods of active paternalism and dirigisme relating to the behavior of individuals in the sphere of family life and procreation (e.g. Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Germany (Nazi and GDR)).
I explore the experiences of several countries that had strong pronatalist policies in the 1920s - 1940s, namely France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Spain. I focus my attention on the list and timing of policy measures and demographic results of these policies. I am analyzing the results with help of two indicators of fertility level, namely Period Total Fertility Rate (PTFR) and Completed Cohort Fertility (CCF). In order to have a kind of “control group”, and provide a comparative control of changes in fertility in the countries under study, I include in demographic analysis some European countries that could avoid the official rhetoric of pronatalism and had no policies of this kind within the same historical period. These countries are Denmark, England & Wales, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. As regards the methodology of demographic analysis, I follow the works of J.Van Bavel et al. (2010, 2013), who deal with the "baby boom" phenomenon of the 1940s-1960s. The results of my comparative analysis will be presented for discussion at the seminar.
