Abstract

In this concluding article, the authors use a global, intersectional feminist political economy lens to reconceptualize disaster response policy and practices that center women's lives. They extend this issue's discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on women's health and safety in ways that have exposed and expanded gender inequalities, and differently for different groups of women, to the discourse of how disaster responses have not only failed women, but have also been used opportunistically by elites to enhance racial and gendered capitalism. In the first half of the article, the authors discuss how the previous feminist literature on the gendering of disasters, with important exceptions, largely misses a critique of the ways the crisis of neoliberalism and the role of racial and gendered global capitalism sets the stage for women to be targets for disaster opportunism. At the same time, critical scholars who have taken on the analysis of disaster capitalism often ignore the well-established feminist social science on disasters. In the second half of the article, the authors bridge these two literatures and provide an intersectional gendered analysis of what they call the political economy of “racialized patriarchal disaster capitalism” as applied to select cases from the COVID crisis as illustrations. Finally, the authors discuss the theoretical implications of their analysis for feminist conceptualizations of disaster opportunism, as well as practical implications for global public health advocates, policy makers, NGOs, and feminist health activists.

COVID - 19时代种族化灾难父权资本主义的理论化:女权主义政策变化的框架
在这篇结论性文章中,作者使用了一个全球性的、交叉的女权主义政治经济学视角,重新定义了以女性生活为中心的灾难应对政策和实践。他们将本期关于2019冠状病毒病大流行对妇女健康和安全影响的讨论,以暴露和扩大性别不平等的方式(对不同妇女群体的影响有所不同),扩展到关于灾难应对如何不仅使妇女失败,而且被精英利用机会主义来加强种族和性别资本主义的讨论。在文章的前半部分,作者讨论了之前关于灾难性别化的女权主义文献,除了重要的例外,在很大程度上错过了对新自由主义危机的批评,以及种族和性别的全球资本主义的作用,为女性成为灾难机会主义的目标奠定了基础。与此同时,从事灾难资本主义分析的批判性学者往往忽视了业已确立的灾难女性主义社会科学。在文章的后半部分,作者将这两篇文献联系起来,并对他们所谓的“种族化父权制灾难资本主义”的政治经济学进行了交叉性别分析,并从COVID危机中选择了一些案例作为例证。最后,作者讨论了他们的分析对灾难机会主义的女权主义概念化的理论意义,以及对全球公共卫生倡导者、政策制定者、非政府组织和女权主义健康活动家的实际意义。
