ΜΟΡΦΕΣ ΤΗΣ ΓΥΝΑΙΚΕΙΑΣ ΤΑΥΤΟΤΗΤΑΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑ. ΕΚΦΡΑΣΕΙΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΝΤΙΦΑΣΕΙΣ ΤΗΣ ΣΥΝΕΙΔΗΤΟΠΟΙΗΣΗΣ

THE STUDY FOCUSES ON THE PROCESSES OF FEMININE IDENTITY FORMATION IN CONTEMPORARY GREECE. IT EXPLORES THE INTERNAL CONFLICTS AND CONTRADICTIONS EXPERIENCED BYFEMINIST WOMEN, LIVING IN A DEEPLY PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY ON ITS WAY TO MODERNISATION, AND EXAMINES THEIR COPING STRATEGIES. THE CONFLICTS ARISE FROM THE "FALSEPERMISSIVENESS" SURROUNDING FREE EXPRESSION OF SEXUALITY, THE COMMITMENT TO HIGHER EDUCATION AND A CAREER. SUCH AREAS OF ACTIVITY WHICH ARE NOW OPENING TO WOMEN HAVE TRADITIONALLY CONSTITUTED EXCLUSIVELY MALE TERRITORY. THE STUDY FINDS THAT DESPITE THE NEW PERMISSIVENESS THESE AREAS REMAIN FORBIDDEN AT A SYMBOLIC LEVEL BECAUSE THEY ARE ANTAGONISTIC TO THE TRADITIONAL IMPERATIVES OF MARRIAGE AND MOTHERHOOD. THE MAIN FINDING OF THE STUDY IS THAT IN ORDER TO FUNCTION IN THESE DOMAINS WOMEN RESORT TO STRATEGIES OF "TRADE- OFFS" WHEREBY ACHIEVEMENT INONE AREA IS PAYED OFF BY RETREAT OR WITHDRAWL FROM ANOTHER. THE STUDY DEMONSTRATES BOTH THE PSYCHIC COSTS AND THE POSITIVE FUNCTION OF SUCH STRATEGIES. IT ISARGUED THAT THE "TRADE-OFF" DEVICE (WHICH WE LIKEN TO A SYSTEM OF COMMUNICATING VESSELS) HELPS FEMINIST WOMEN MEET THE CHALLENGES OF THE REDEFINITION OF FEMALE IDENTITY WHILE KEEPING THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE TRADITIONAL "THOU SHALT NOTS" TO A LEVEL THAT IS PSYCHOLOGICALLY TOLERABLE.
