“…During socialist times, women in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries fared better in positions of power than in the West, while racial and religious discrimination was rampant (Weitz, 2002; Metcalfe and Afanassieva, 2005). Since then, the CEE countries have taken various directions regarding diversity legislation, activism and acceptance, resulting in distinct national pressures on local companies (Buyantueva and Shevtsova, 2020). This is particularly evident in local diversity issues such as traditional gender roles, same-sex marriage or reproductive and self-determination rights of women (Morley et al.…”

PurposeDue to their multifarious backgrounds, multinational enterprises from emerging economies offer unique research opportunities to push the boundaries of our understanding knowledge of diversity management in transitional contexts. In that regard, Central and Eastern European multinationals present a blind spot in diversity management research.Design/methodology/approachThis article examines the extent to which context shapes the discourse on diversity management in the Oil and Gas industry across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) through a qualitative approach based on content analyses of corporate communication data matched with data on national institutional contexts.FindingsThe data suggests a lack of effective pro-diversity pressures across CEE except for cultural pressure in European Union member countries. However, CEE Oil and Gas companies report a broader scope of diversity management than studies of Western counterparts suggest. Companies with subsidiaries in Western countries show convergence towards etic diversity approaches, while local and regional companies are more divergent.Originality/valueThis article defines the boundary conditions of diversity management in the Oil and Gas industry across nine CEE countries and how they impact the diversity discourse in the industry. This article also showcases the impact of foreign market presence in the West as a driver for diversity management reporting.

“…We also follow calls to contextualize DM beyond the Western context (e.g. Erdur, 2020), especially in the challenging diversity contexts in CEE (Babonea and Ciora, 2018; Sliwa and Tobiasz-Adamczyk, 2018; Buyantueva and Shevtsova, 2020) and calls to advance the convergence versus divergence debate in non-Western MNEs (e.g. Paik et al.…”

“…A substantial body of literature deals with various resistances against (potential) progress with LGBT rights in EU member states (e.g., Kuhar and Paternotte 2017;Paternotte and Kuhar 2018;Graff and Korolczuk 2022). Literature on the EU neighborhood mainly gives a detailed account of LGBT activism (Buyantueva and Shevtsova 2019) or the gender politics of post-Soviet states (Tarkhanova 2021). Much less is known about organized resistance against gender and sexual equality throughout Europe (Luciani 2021;Shevtsova 2022).…”

Resisting “Liberal Values”

During the previous decade (2012–2021), in Ukraine, political pressure from the European Union combined with the efforts of the local civil society resulted in the adoption of legislation to prevent and eliminate discrimination, protect women from domestic violence, and promote LGBT people’s rights. Nevertheless, these changes were met by the opposition from various conservative and religious groups that have, over time, become more sophisticated in their resistance strategies. The present article applies the concept of heteroactivism to examine the role of women within such groups in Ukraine. It argues that Ukrainian heteroactivism is a product of the “clash of values” largely influenced by the geopolitical position of Ukraine and its historical and cultural context. Studying the cases of the Sisterhood of St. Olga, the Association of Sexologists and Sexual Therapists of Ukraine (ASSU), and several prominent scholarly figures, the article identifies the mobilization frames these activists use, specifically, Women as Wives and Mothers, Protection of Family and Minors, and Religion (heteroactivism as martyrdom). This study shows that in attempts to influence national policymaking, Ukrainian women heteroactivists set rigid standards of “proper” Ukrainian femininity and the role of women (that of a mother and wife staying outside of politics) within a “proper” Ukrainian family, which must be heterosexual, Christian, and monogamous.

“…Analyses have revealed contradicting exclusionary discourses which the genre naturalizes as ‘speaking one's mind’ (Shield 2018), and which may range from sexual prejudice, microaggressions of ‘internalized homophobia’ (Shield 2018), to racism and xenophobia (McGlotten 2013). Titles like ‘I'm gay but I'm not like those perverts’, coming from recent research on Eastern European settings (Weaver 2020 for the above; Bogetić 2018; Buyantueva & Shevtsova 2020), precisely highlight the problems in approaching the conflicting orders of non-normative masculinities and their resonance in social reality.…”

Co-opting the neoliberal manhood ideal: Masculinity, normativity, and recursive normalisation in Serbian gay men's digital dating profiles

This article investigates sexual and gender ideologies in online dating profiles of Sebian gay men using corpus-linguistic and discourse-analytic methods. Selected keywords are analysed in context, and particular attention is paid to collocation patterns, including grammatical collocates that are shown to carry discursive relevance beyond style. The analysis reveals that repeated associations centre on concepts of masculinity and normality, in a local indexical order of ‘proper’ manhood, sexuality, global modernity, and national identity. Overall, the texts are most strongly characterized by adversarial distance towards certain gay men, operating in normalizing assimilation to the national (heterosexual) citizen ideal. A broader mechanism, termed recursive normalisation, is described as underpinning the observed patterns. The findings are further discussed as highlighting the pitfalls of theory and social movements focused on social assimilation, arguing for the need for further queer linguistic deconstruction of the normalising discourses that intersect marginalized communities and broader, systemic hegemonies. (Gay men, online dating, masculinity, recursive normalization)
