| German nationalist agitation during the Weimar Republic and under the Nazi regime routinely represented Germany as a violated body; Germany's post-Versailles borders with Poland were referred to as "bleeding borders". To keep border issues in the public eye, nationalist organisations in Weimar Germany undertook ritualised excursions to the easern borders; after 1933, such excursions continued under Nazi auspices. The article uses women's accounts of such border excursions to explore the constructions of gender that underlay the organisation of such journeys and which shaped the way in which the "border experience" was recounted. It asks whether women's borderlands activism conformed to the common gender division of labour within nationalism (ascribing reponsibility for cultural and welfare matters to women) or whether the "borderlands" - constructed in the nationalist imagination as a zone of perpetual emergency and crisis - created a space for a more fluid conception of gender roles. | |
