特刊的提议源于对Raewyn Connell的论文《在恐惧边缘的会议：世界范围的理论》的讨论，该论文追溯了北方在全球传播的女权主义思想中的主导地位，强调了全球南方产生的知识财富，并主张女权主义理论的更民主的全球结构（Connell, 2015）。Veronika Woehrer仔细分析了欧洲和北美女权主义课程大纲和教科书中相对缺乏的南方女权主义学术，这一论点变得紧迫起来（Woehrer, 2016）。北方理论通常占主导地位是有实际原因的。女权主义理论虽然起源于社会运动，但现在却植根于以美国和西欧的大学和出版商为中心的知识经济。国际排名上的领先期刊、最大的博士项目、主要资助者、最负盛名的协会、最大的图书馆和数据库，都位于这个全球大都市。正如贝宁哲学家Paulin Hountondji（1997）指出的那样，在主流的全球知识经济中存在着特定的劳动分工。理论通常是在大都市产生并输出到外围地区，而

The argument is given urgency by Veronika Woehrer’s careful analysis of the relative absence of Southern feminist scholarship in European and North American feminist course outlines and textbooks (Woehrer, 2016). There are practical reasons why Northern theory usually predominates. Feminist theory, though it grew out of social movements, is now embedded in a knowledge economy where the universities and publishers of the United States and western Europe are central. The leading journals in the international league tables, the biggest doctoral programmes, the main funders, the most prestigious associations, the biggest libraries and databanks, are all located in the global metropole. As the Beninese philosopher Paulin Hountondji (1997) points out, there is a specific division of labour in the mainstream global economy of knowledge. Theory is normally produced in the metropole and exported to the periphery, while the
