Funded Activity Summary

COUNTER-MAPPING GENDER AND POLITICS: WOMEN, DEMOCRATIC RECONSTITUTION, AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN EAST TIMOR AND THE PHILIPPINES. This project examines counter-mappings to conventional approaches in the analysis of political and social transformations in East Timor and the Philippines. It analyses the ways in which women's political subjectivities are constituted in the complex interplay of indigenous belief systems, nation-state building, modernity, development, and the intervention of international organizations. How do poor women redefine and expand conventional approaches to governance, local and international security, and sustainable development? It explores the mechanisms that produce and reproduce women's empowerment and/or marginalisation with particular attention to resilient local knowledges that open-up possibilities for democratic reconstitution of society.
