关于经济全球化的文献与女性主义对全球进程的理解在很大程度上是分开的。在本文中,我们的目标是将他们带入富有成效的对话中,以便全球化研究可以从女权主义者与全球化的接触中受益。在第一部分中,重点关注将经济全球化文献与女权主义分析纳入对话的概念挑战,我们确定了这些文献中的几个关键排除因素,并提出了全球化的女权主义解读所建议的平行包含因素。我们建议纳入的内容涉及经济全球化研究在很大程度上被忽视的空间、规模、主题和工作形式。第二部分讨论了全球经济过程中大量女性主义研究的几个关键主题,这些主题在经济全球化文献中也基本缺失:工作的性别化、性别和结构调整计划、流动和散居。在最后一部分,我们将讨论女权主义认识论和方法对经济全球化研究的影响。在这里,我们主张基于合作的研究,将南方和北方的观点结合起来,构建对地方和地方的理解,以及空间和一般的全球过程;我们指出了不同地理尺度的构成,并强调了跨越它们的研究的必要性。本文论证了全球化的女权主义分析所需要的远不止认识到性别的重要性;它要求我们对经济全球化的概念、研究和行动进行实质性的重新思考。
Abstract The literatures on economic globalization and feminist understandings of global processes have largely remained separate. In this article, our goal is to bring them into productive conversation so that research on globalization can benefit from feminist engagements with globalization. In the first section, which focuses on the conceptual challenges of bringing the economic globalization literature into conversation with feminist analysis, we identify several key exclusions in that literature and propose parallel inclusions that a feminist reading of globalization suggests. Our suggested inclusions relate to the spaces, scales, subjects, and forms of work that research on economic globalization has largely neglected. The second section takes up several key themes in the large body of feminist research on global economic processes, which is also largely absent from the economic globalization literature: the gendering of work, gender and structural adjustment programs, and mobility and diaspora. In the final section, we address the implications of feminist epistemologies and methodologies for research on economic globalization. Here we argue for grounded, collaborative studies that incorporate perspectives of the south as well as the north and that construct understandings of place and the local, as well as space and general global processes; we point to the coconstitution of different geographic scales and highlight the need for studies that cut across them. The article demonstrates how a feminist analysis of globalization entails far more than recognizing the importance of gender; it requires substantial rethinking of how to conceptualize, study, and act in relation to economic globalization.
