Marginālā sieviete un sociālie stereotipi Padomju Lavijā, Daugavpils pilsētā: pēc Daugavpils preses materiāliem (1953–1964)

Abstract

In the Soviet period, which is marked in the history of Latvia SSR as a „Khrushchev thaw” (1953-1964), not only the laws and others normative documents of the Soviet Latvia, but also the social norms and stereotypes served as a foundation for formation of views on which women should be considered as marginal. Therefore, it was topical to explore the social stereotypes, formation of which was determined by the multicultural and multinational environment of Daugavpils, as well as the migration and soviet propaganda mechanisms. The analysis of materials of Daugavpils periodicals reflects the official view-point and ideological postulates of the Soviet regime. In this article, the problem of stigmatization of mar-ginalized women in soviet society was explored, studied and analysed according to various Daugavpils newspapers, such as annual sets of 1953-1964 printed editions „Padomju Daugava”/ „Krasnoje Znamja” („Red Banner”; Latvian National Archives, Daugavpils zonal archive, 871. fonds, description 1).
