Development NGOs have been accused by some of being new instruments of control, domesticated by the neoliberal project. For others, they elaborate and pursue alternative dreams. In this paper, we argue that, although the majority of NGOs have been co‐opted to serve hegemonic development agendas, they nevertheless present a fluid, contradictory web of relations, within which a significant minority seeks to make spaces of resistance, and where even the most neoliberal NGOs are used by some clients to create new associational spaces. Drawing on work with NGOs in Ghana, India, Mexico and Europe, we explore various strategies deployed by this minority of \"independent thinking NGOs\". We argue that there is an important production of Melucci's submerged networks or latent social movements, however limited their political impact to date. 相似文献
The 1992 Convention on Biological Conservation and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (1996) reflect the growing importance of biodiversity for environmental conservation and as a way of maintaining the genetic variety needed for plant breeding and providing new sources of medicines. More recently, agrobiodiversity has been seen as vital for food security in developing countries. This article considers the need to understand decision‐making for biodiversity at the grassroots. To achieve this, gender roles, as influenced by gender divisions of labour in food production and the gendered use of different environmental spaces, have to be considered. Women's roles in seed selection and seed saving and use of wild plants for food and medicines play a major role in biodiversity conservation, but these roles are not unchanging and are increasingly influenced by global trade networks and geographical context. 相似文献
The purpose of this study was to examine where and how children choose to play in four Australian pre-school centers with very different outdoor playgrounds. Using a momentary time sampling direct observation instrument, a total of 960 scans were taken of pre-determined target areas (paths, paved expanses, grass, softfall, sand feature, manufactured functional, manufactured constructive and natural) within four playgrounds over a 30-day period. During each scan, we recorded the number of boys and girls observed in each target area as well as the dominant type of play (functional, constructive, symbolic, self-focused, talking). A total of 2361 observations of children occurred across the four centers. The results revealed the children were using the four playgrounds differently. At the diverse and natural Center A, the most popular space was the natural area and the least popular space was the sandpit. At the small, compact and diverse Center B, children were fairly evenly dispersed, with the most popular areas being the softfall and paved expanse. At the hard and barren Center C, almost half the children were found on the pavement, but the sandpits and natural areas were also popular. Finally, at the large, sparse and old Center D, children were fairly evenly dispersed, but most were observed playing on the softfall. Across all centers, irrespective of target area, the dominant play activity was functional play followed by self-focused play. This article discusses these findings and asks important questions about the design of pre-school playgrounds. In doing so, this study has begun to explain the relationship between the design of outdoor play spaces, children's choices of play locations and their play behaviors. 相似文献
The historical study of women and religion in the early Americas has garnered substantial scholarship in the last 30 years. The influence of women’s history and feminist studies has generated great interest on the topic of gender and religion. Scholars have analyzed women’s religious history using indices of race, class, and gender to produce nuanced histories. This work has shown the complex contours of female spirituality in the early Americas. Female laity both accepted and questioned male religious leadership and sought meaningful spiritual experiences in myriad contexts, such as the sanctuary, household, and community. Studies have been done on a wide range of topics relating to women and religion, such as conversion, preaching, mysticism, speech, healing, domesticity, monasticism, witchcraft, sexuality, and the body. Women in Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish traditions have been examined, as have Native American, African American, and mixed race women in Spanish, French, and British America. Their historical experience reveals an ongoing tension between religious hierarchy and female pursuits of piety. Scholarly literature on ‘women religious’, that is, Catholic nuns, demonstrates that they exercised power, even while working under a male‐dominated ecclesiastical authority, in both North and South American settlements from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Female members of radical Protestant groups, such as the Quakers, Shakers, and Moravians, participated in communities that promoted gender ideologies divergent from the dominant culture. The study of women’s religious history will continue to ponder the multiple meanings and interactions of spirituality, gender, and power within early American societies. 相似文献
In examining the development of the International Geographical Union’s (IGU) Commission on Gender and Geography over the last three decades, we first highlight the advances made to establish visibility for gender studies within the IGU and create structures for more inclusive feminist geographies across national, disciplinary and other borders. Given that many of the early and most widely-known advances were largely within Anglophone contexts, we then discuss the ongoing challenges and possibilities for advancement faced by feminist geographers who teach, research, and write on gender in other locations. While some of these challenges (such as a continued lack of recognition for gender studies, paternalistic hierarchies, and specific government regimes) are country-specific, others are related to broader issues of neoliberalism and corporatization, and inequities in academic publishing. Clearly, continued efforts are needed to strengthen the agenda for gender to promote more inclusive histories, practices and processes of gender/feminist geography in research, teaching and application in the international arena. 相似文献
