A Subsistence Perspective for the Transition to a New Civilization: An Ecofeminist Contribution to Degrowth
Après des décennies dominés par l’attitude qui a progres sivement discrédité l’existence des autochtones, les paysans et les femmes à la maison, les choses finalement, changent. La perspective productiviste de la mondialisation sème le doute et on demande un nouveau respect envers la capacité de la nature. L’environnement et les désordres sociaux exigent un nouveau paradigme de la civilisation. Les féministes ont ouvert le débat éventuellement appelé l’écoféminisme dans les années ’70. En Allemagne s’est enligné sur cette notion de ‘’ subsister’’ dans les pays du Tiers Monde. L’auteure a contribué au débat et présente quelques aspects cruciaux dans cet article
The gendered impact of the financial crisis:Struggles over social reproduction in Greece
The global financial crisis has triggered a dramatic transformation of employment in the weakest Eurozone economies. This is evidenced in deteriorating work conditions, limited employee negotiating power, low pay, zero-hours contracts and, most importantly, periods of prolonged unemployment for most of the working population, especially women. We offer a critical analysis of the boundaries of formal and informal, paid and unpaid, productive and reproductive work, and explore how austerity policies implemented in Greece in the aftermath of the global financial crisis have transformed women’s everyday lives. In contributing to critical discussions of neoliberal capitalism and recent feminist geography studies, our empirical study focuses on how women’s struggles over social reproduction unfold in the public and private spheres. It proposes that women’s temporary retreat to unpaid work at home constitutes a form of resistance to intensifying precarisation, and, at times, contributes to the emergence of new collective forms of reproduction.</p
