The discursive uses of Jane Jacobs for the genderfying city: Understanding the productions of space for post-Fordist gender notions
本文通过阿姆斯特丹案例,分析简·雅各布斯被推崇为规划英雄的现象,探讨后福特主义性别观念如何塑造城市空间(即性别化),并揭示这种看似更少性别歧视的城市可能产生的新排斥形式。
The massive increases in women’s labour participation and the return of families with children to the city are often overlooked in understanding contemporary views on urban planning, despite decades of feminist urban theory. This article proposes to understand what is termed the ‘urban gender revolution’ through looking closely at the celebration of Jane Jacobs as the planning hero of the day. Zooming in on the city of Amsterdam, this article offers a case study of the popularity of Jane Jacobs to investigate the production of space for post-Fordist gender notions – genderfication – and to ask the question what new forms of exclusions are the result of this perhaps less sexist city (when compared to the modernist patriarchal ideal that Jacobs rallied against). In addition, it posits that the genderfication-project may help to overcome inequalities along gender lines; it underlines those along class lines.
