Globalization, Gender And The Davos Man
运用波兰尼的市场社会建构理论,分析20世纪末全球市场的形成,强调其理论需纳入性别视角,探讨男女与市场的不同联系以及全球劳动力女性化对女性行为的影响。
Using Karl Polanyi's analysis of the social construction of markets in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Europe, the paper applies his analysis to the formation of global markets in the late twentieth century. The paper argues that Polanyi's work needs to be engendered in order to take into consideration women's and men's different links to the market and to understand the construction of "economic man" gone global. The paper also addresses the feminization of the labor force across the globe and the possible effects on women's behavior and on the construction of "economic woman." The concluding section discusses alternative interpretations of this behavior.
