Feminist Global Political Economies of the Everyday: From Bananas to Bingo

Abstract

Feminist studies of political economy have long pointed to the multifaceted ways in which global transformations are constituted by deeply gendered economic practices at the everyday level. Nonetheless, the increased analytical focus on the everyday within the study of international political economy (IPE) frequently fails to connect with feminist theories and gendered approaches. In this introductory essay, we argue that any discussion of a ‘turn’ towards the everyday in IPE must acknowledge the role of feminist contributions that predate, and indeed make possible, this shift in IPE scholarship's analytical gaze towards the everyday. We map out what might be understood as feminist political economies of the everyday—highlighting the points of connection between feminist scholarship on the everyday, as well as the ways in which feminist scholars engage with the notion of an everyday political economy in quite distinct and diverse ways—a diversity that reflects the methodological and theoretical pluralism of feminist political economy scholarship as well as the ever broadening geographical scope of feminist research.

从广场到网络:大学生政治参与的空间转变

我国当代大学生政治参与经历了从广场到网络的空间转变。广场作为表达政治诉求的传统空间,深嵌于有关大学生政治参与的集体记忆,这种记忆在年轻学子表达国族情怀的政治行动中被不断复制。网络的出现为退出广场的大学生提供了新的政治参与空间,大学生网络政治参与也出现了种种嬗变。广场或网络中的大学生政治参与均存在非理性的一面,其理性政治参与的实现,与经济发展、流动机会及政治制度化水平密切相关。
