Feministische Ökonomie

Abstract

<jats:p>Katharina Mader, Jana Schultheiss: Feminist Economics – Challenging MainstreamEconomics? The prevailing assumption that economics is inherently gender-neutral is notalways explicitly formulated, but is tacitly assumed. Economics does not only conceal thecategory of gender, both in its biological and social understanding, but also gender relations andthe corresponding power, domination and inequalities. However, economic theories are notgender-neutral, but based on androcentric values and world views. The examination herewithis an object of feminist economics. Gender-blind economics systematically underestimatesthe contributions of women to the economy. In particular, the entire area of unpaid work,social cohesion and interpersonal responsibility remains invisible, with no broader publicappreciation and no adequate attention within economic theory and economic policy. Thepaper contains an overview of the state of feminist economics, given its pluralistic characteristicsand common assumptions. It reflects upon the extent to which feminist economicscan provide answers and alternatives to the central points of criticism of orthodox economicsand its political implications</jats:p>

Auch im Angebot: Feministische Kapitalismuskritik

“…Hier möchte ich ansetzen und Positionen einer feministischen Kapitalismuskritik thematisieren, die auch in der kommunikations-wissenschaftlichen Geschlechterforschung und den Gender Media Studies zu finden sind. Das Ziel ist, vergessene oder zu wenig sichtbare, gemeinsame und unterschiedliche Traditionslinien der Gender Studies und der auf Marx zurückgehenden Ansätze einer Kritischen Politischen Ökonomie, erkennbar etwa in der Feministischen Ökonomik (Mader und Schultheiss 2011;Haidinger und Knittler 2019;Knobloch 2021), nachzuzeichnen.…”
