“…Hansen 1961) who indeed address in their work the gender inequality inherent to the Kurdish patriarchal society. Moreover, the feminist discourse emphasizes today's problems of gender-based violence (Hardi 2013;Fischer-Tahir 2009). From my own observations in Kurdistan over the last 20 years and based on the reading of Kurdish academic and other intellectual work, I argue that the identity discourse makes a sharp distinction between European colonial politics that led to the partition of Kurdistan on the one hand, and those colonial imaginations serving to prove the Kurds' place in history and among the civilizations, on the other hand.…”

“…The continuing strong bonds that persist today between women's movements and political parties remains a point of criticism and concern of women activists. What is more, it was difficult for women's organisations to unite for common causes, as there often existed hardly any communication between them (Begikhani, 2010;Hardi, 2013). Alhamid (in this issue) pays attention to how women often were forced into marginalised positions because of external and internal conflicts and recurrent upsurges of tribal ideology.…”

In this introductory article to the special issue Women and War in Kurdistan, we connect our topic to feminist theory, to anthropological theory on war and conflict and their long-term consequences, and to theory on gender, nation and (visual) representation. We investigate Kurdish women’s victimisation and marginalisation, but also their resistance and agency as female combatants and women activists, their portrayal by media and scholars, and their self-representation. We offer herewith a critical perspective on militarisation, women’s liberation, and women’s experiences in times of war and peace. We also introduce the five articles in this issue and discuss how they contribute to the study of women and war in two main areas: the wide-reaching effects of war on women’s lives, and the gendered representation and images of war in Kurdistan. ABSTRACT IN KURMANJIBîrdoza jin û şer li Kurdistanê. Perspektîveke femînîst û rexnegirîDi vê nivîsara danasîner a hejmara taybet a li ser Jin û Şer li Kurdistanê de, em mijarê behsê bi bîrdoza femînîst, bîrdoza mirovnasiyê ya şer û pevçûnan û encamên wan yên demdirêj, û bîrdoza zayend, netewe û nîşane (ya ditinî) ve girêdidin. Em li ser vederkirin û mexdûrkirina jinên kurd lêkolînê dikin, her wekî meseleya berxwedan û îradeya şervanên jin û çalakvanên mafên jinan, û pirsên ku çawa medya û lêkolîner qala wan dikin û çawa ew jî xwe didin nîşan. Em her weha perspektîveke li ser leşkerîkirin, azadkirina jinan û tecrubeyên jinan di heyamên şer û aştiyê de pêşberî xwendevanan dikin. Di ber re, em danasîna her pênc nivîsarên vê hejmarê jî dikin û girîngiya wan a ji bo lêkolînên jin û şerî di du warên sereke de guftûgo dikin: encamên berfireh yên şer li ser jiyana jinan, û nîşane û dimenên zayendî yên şer li Kurdistanê.
