Invisible Debts: A Feminist Ecological Economics Approach to Debts from Below
提出女性主义生态经济学视角，揭示全球北方欠多数世界的生态债务、殖民债务以及女性无偿生殖劳动的债务，论证这些隐形债务若被承认将彻底改变全球债务政治经济图景，并为债务取消和赔偿诉求提供合法性。
This article proposes a feminist ecological economics approach to debts, which, by means of making the hidden visible, critically (re-)assesses the question of who owes whom. It highlights the importance of ecological debts that the Global North owes the Majority World, colonial debts that former colonizers owe those who have been enslaved and colonized, and reproductive debts owed to women who carry out the lion’s share of reproductive work without monetary compensation. The article argues that if these invisible debts were considered, the picture of the global political economy of debt would be entirely different. Although quantifying invisible debts is, strictly speaking, impossible, a feminist ecological economics approach to invisible debts as discursive intervention gives legitimacy to demands for debt cancelation and reparations. Moreover, a focus on invisible debts can serve as an alliance-building strategy for social movements in the fields of feminisms, decoloniality, and environmental justice.
