課程簡介Course Description
這門課討論「性別與發展」的相關議題,課程內容主要分為兩大部分:第一部分為婦女/性別/女性主義與發展研究,這部分屬於比較理論性的探討,特別著重於性別研究跟女性主義的興起與流行,對發展研究這個領域的研究及其理論發展所帶來的影響;第二部分著重於從女性/性別的角度來探討與發展相關的議題,例如女性在發展中所扮演的角色、發展對女性之社會經濟生存條件以及政治參與(即「女性的發展」)的影響、以及女性賦權(women’s empowerment)等等,將特別著重對發展現實情況與相關政策之討論,最後則是聚焦於女性主義發展研究(feminist engagement in development/ development studies)所面臨的挑戰。

課程目標與學習成效Course Objectives & Learning Outcomes
不管是從知識理論的發展或是從實際的分析與實踐的角度來看,「性別與發展」是發展議題的一個重要面向,也是發展研究領域的一個重要發展。就知識發展而言,具有性別意識的發展研究與所謂「女性主義視角的發展(feminist visions of development)」密切相關,這也是女性主義對發展分析、實踐、理論的主要貢獻。就實際的發展分析與實踐來看,自「女性參與發展/ Women in Development(WID)」跟「性別與發展/ Gender and Development (GND)」運動出現以來,儘管女性在國家發展過程中往往因為傳統與文化因素而無法充分參與發展,因而被認為是發展中/第三世界國家的發展計畫之所以沒有辦法達到預期效果或成功的主因,但女性事實上透過非正式部門的勞動參與貢獻於發展中國家的經濟成長。不同性別族群是否均等受惠於國家的發展是從性別角度探討發展的另一個重要面向。我們將從理論與實踐/務的角度,歷史地探討性別與發展的關係,並關注不同國家與文化對發展中之性別相關議題可能存在的爭辯(contestation)。課程結束時,同學們除了對主要女性主義理論流派有基本的瞭解之外,必須能夠熟悉不同流派的女性主義對發展所持的觀點為何、「性別與發展」運動的歷史過程與影響、以及不同的傳統跟文化如何影響其社會大眾對性別與發展相關議題的理解及其影響。
