“…Thus, political agronomy has much to gain from engaging with gender studies and feminist scholarships in similar ways to that which has been achieved in feminist political ecology and feminist political economy (e.g. Mutari 2001;Mollett and Faria 2013;Rai and Waylen 2014;Harcourt and Nelson 2015;Rocheleau and Nirmal 2015). We explore how feminist streams within STS and related fields can help broaden out the perspective on development-oriented crop breeding.…”

“Whose demand?” The co-construction of markets, demand and gender in development-oriented crop breeding

Advancing women’s empowerment and gender equality in agriculture is a recognised development goal, also within crop breeding. Increasingly, breeding teams are expected to use ‘market-based’ approaches to design more ‘demand-led’ and ‘gender-responsive’ crop varieties. Based on an institutional ethnography that includes high-profile development-oriented breeding initiatives, we unpack these terms using perspectives from political agronomy and feminist science and technology studies. By conceptualising the market as an ongoing, relational performance made up of discourses, practices and human and nonhuman actors, we trace how the market is understood as an effective socioeconomic institution for soliciting demand, but also becomes a normative agenda. Construed as a demand variable, the relational and structural dimensions of gender are rendered less visible, which might strengthen rather than transform power relations’ status quo. On the other hand, a feminist science and technology perspective broadens the field of vision not only to the gendered dimensions of crop breeding, but also to the nonhuman actors, such as the crops and traits falling outside the market sphere of interest. By putting political agronomy and feminist science and technology studies into conversation, the article contributes to the development of a feminist political agronomy.

“…May be a unified theory of feminist economics is not required as long as justice for all is taken very serious in every step of the way. As put by Mutari, contributions within the field illuminate the diversity of women's experiences and the visions are as broad as women's life experiences 3 . Some studies aim to add these experiences into the existing systems of thought, others force the boundaries of them questioning their validities and some others target to develop ways to redefine and reconceptualize the core concepts of the discipline.…”

Feminist economists have sought to revolutionize economics discipline particularly by incorporating multidisciplinary methods, methodologies and philosophies into the field. As this article shortly summarizes, so much has been done. Feminist economists have dreamed big and created powerful foundation for desirable economics. There are clear achievements, yet the job is not done, dream is continuing. The continued leap for feminist economists is to bring together the accumulated literature and new knowledge while pursuing their solid feminist pedagogy in teaching and learning economics without wavering. Such a path will provide liberation for the oppression inside and outside the education system and keep social provisioning and well-being at the center of economic research and teaching. There are still massive obstacles on the path. However, these obstacles can be used as a motivation for building on the innovative path to continue revolutionizing the economics discipline.

“…Additionally feminist theorists have engaged in a long-standing dialogue, debate, and critique of Marxian political economy. From debates over the status of household labor in Marxian value theory to the analysis of dual systems of capitalism and patriarchy to explorations of the social construction of gender and difference, feminist economics has sought to advance theory and practice in ways that are attentive to a multiplicity of sites for the acting out of power and resistance (Albelda 1997;Hewitson 1999;Mutari 2001).…”

Review of Radical Political Economics

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The sphere of consumption and the behavior of consumers has been a neglected area of investigation by radical political economists. The production/consumption duality is examined with special reference to Marx. Postmodern Marxism is offered as an alternative with which to examine consumer activities. Furthermore, insights and methods of analysis from the social construction of technology (SCOT) and feminist theory are investigated. These approaches can help to reclaim the terrain of consumer behavior for heterodox economics.
