摘要

复式簿记的出现可追溯到与今天被广泛理解为资本主义做法的出现大致相同的时期。因此,有人认为资本主义与会计是相互依存的。然而,这一论断忽略了更早出现的一系列重要的类似发展:大约在古代美索不达米亚出现最早的会计痕迹的同时,父权制的社会组织形式也在该地区蔓延开来。在本文中,我们提出,会计实践与其说是资本主义兴起的一个功能,不如说是父权制扩张的一个功能,而父权制本身又为资本主义的广泛采用推波助澜。本文借鉴人类学的见解和女权主义学者的研究成果,提出了另一种视角,我们希望这种视角将有助于推动对当前破坏性霸权的抵制:会计的 "她的历史"。此外,这项研究还对我们如何理解批判性会计师所关注的一系列重要话题产生了影响,其中包括问责制、暴力与征服、妇女权利、工作与生活条件、资本主义(以及新自由主义)、环境退化、灵性以及政治国家的崛起。

Patriarchy, capitalism, and accounting: A herstory

The emergence of double-entry bookkeeping has been traced back to roughly the same period as the emergence of practices which are today broadly understood as capitalist. This has led some to suggest that capitalism and accounting are interdependent. This thesis, however, neglects an important set of similarly-paired developments that occurred much earlier: around the same time as the first traces of accounting appeared in ancient Mesopotamia, patriarchal forms of social organization were also spreading across that region. In this paper, we propose that accounting practices are less a function of the rise of capitalism and more a function of the expansion of patriarchy, which itself fuelled the widespread adoption of capitalism. Drawing on anthropological insights and the work of feminist scholars, the paper offers an alternative perspective, one that we hope will help fuel resistance against the current, damaging hegemony: a ‘herstory’ of accounting. In addition, this study has implications for how we understand a number of topics of importance to critical accountants, including accountability, violence and subjugation, women’s rights and working and living conditions, capitalism (and neoliberalism), environmental degradation, spirituality, and the rise of political states.

期刊介绍: Critical Perspectives on Accounting aims to provide a forum for the growing number of accounting researchers and practitioners who realize that conventional theory and practice is ill-suited to the challenges of the modern environment, and that accounting practices and corporate behavior are inextricably connected with many allocative, distributive, social, and ecological problems of our era. From such concerns, a new literature is emerging that seeks to reformulate corporate, social, and political activity, and the theoretical and practical means by which we apprehend and affect that activity. Research Areas Include: • Studies involving the political economy of accounting, critical accounting, radical accounting, and accounting''s implication in the exercise of power • Financial accounting''s role in the processes of international capital formation, including its impact on stock market stability and international banking activities • Management accounting''s role in organizing the labor process • The relationship between accounting and the state in various social formations • Studies of accounting''s historical role, as a means of "remembering" the subject''s social and conflictual character • The role of accounting in establishing "real" democracy at work and other domains of life • Accounting''s adjudicative function in international exchanges, such as that of the Third World debt • Antagonisms between the social and private character of accounting, such as conflicts of interest in the audit process • The identification of new constituencies for radical and critical accounting information • Accounting''s involvement in gender and class conflicts in the workplace • The interplay between accounting, social conflict, industrialization, bureaucracy, and technocracy • Reappraisals of the role of accounting as a science and technology • Critical reviews of "useful" scientific knowledge about organizations
