Abstract

ABSTRACT It has become widely acknowledged by scholars and practitioners that women’s participation in peace-building is essential to building sustainable, inclusive peace. The question remains, however, what is ‘women’s participation’ in practical terms? What does it look like? What does it feel like? Following feminist scholarship that has argued for attention to the politics of emotion in International Relations, I call for an emotion-aware approach to thinking about women’s participation in peace-building and the recognition that emotion has real, material effects on how women participate and the impact of their participation. Drawing on fieldwork experience in Burma and on the Thailand-Burma border I reflect on the process of asking such questions and the possibilities of taking affect seriously in the study of peace. What emerges from this reflection is a methodological consideration that centres emotion and recognises it as simultaneously politically meaningful and gendered. Exploration of the challenges of such an approach grounds this contribution in the realities of data collection and interpretation in the field, while also demonstrating the richness that emerges from such inquiry.

研究情感来阐明妇女对和平的贡献的可能性
学者和实践者普遍认为,妇女参与建设和平对建设可持续、包容的和平至关重要。然而,问题仍然是,“妇女参与”在实践中是什么?它看起来像什么?那是什么感觉?继女权主义学术主张关注国际关系中的情感政治之后,我呼吁采取一种意识到情感的方法来思考妇女参与建设和平的问题,并认识到情感对妇女如何参与以及她们参与的影响具有真实的、实质性的影响。根据在缅甸和泰缅边境的实地工作经验,我反思了提出这些问题的过程,以及在和平研究中认真对待这些问题的可能性。从这种反思中出现的是一种方法论上的考虑,它以情感为中心,并承认它同时具有政治意义和性别。对这种方法所面临的挑战的探索,将这种贡献建立在实地数据收集和解释的现实基础上,同时也展示了这种调查所产生的丰富性。
