Toplumsal Cinsiyet, Savaş ve Çatışma

Rate this book
"Uluslararası İlişkiler alanındaki savaş ve çatışma öyküleri genellikle siyasi liderler, ordular ve devletlerden sanki biyolojik ve toplumsal cinsiyetlere sahip değillermiş gibi bahseder; bunun doğru olmadığı gibi, savaş ve çatışmaların işleyiş biçimlerine dair anlatıları da zayıflattığını düşünüyorum.

Bu kitap, toplumsal cinsiyet analizinin savaş ve çatışmaların analiz edilmesinde kritik bir role sahip olduğunu öne sürmektedir. Bu savını ortaya koymak için, savaş ve çatışmanın, analizlerinde toplumsal cinsiyetin 'ana akımlaştırılmış' olması durumunda, ne kadar farklı görüneceğini sorar. Toplumsal cinsiyet analizini savaş hakkında düşünmenin mühim bir parçası olarak görmenin, cinsiyetler arası hiyerarşiyi, cinsiyet temelli beklentileri, cinsiyetin ırk, sınıf, etnik kimlik ve dinle kesiştiği noktaları, savaş ve çatışmalarda 'kadın' ve 'erkek'lerin başına gelen şeyleri görünür kılma yolunda önemli bir adım olduğunu ileri sürer."

Toplumsal Cinsiyet, Savaş ve Çatışma, savaşta cinsiyetin çok yönlü rolünü anlamaya istekli okurlar için mükemmel bir başlangıç kitabı.

Os dois capítulos finais, em que a autora expõe a sua teorização são bem mais confusos que os primeiros capítulos (que são bastante claros e bem escritos). Ainda assim, funciona bem para quem quer iniciar estudos em relações internacionais, gênero e guerra.

An important book in understanding those who serve are not just the 1950s stereotypes many still think. It is lgbtq+ and intersection and intersex. Even before DADT.

I found Sjoberg's writing delightful clear. I am not deeply familiar with international relations or war theorizing, but I still found the text accessible. I thought the gender analysis was pretty sophisticated, and I was impressed with how she kept nuance in a book with such an ambitious scope--she really did talk about gender and war, broadly. While this is probably hard to avoid in a short book about war generally, I felt a bit uncomfortable with the way she lumped together examples drawn from very different conflicts--it seemed like she must be glossing over important differences, and I wished she had incorporated some analysis of colonialism or postcolonialism in her gender analysis of war. Also, I thought she did much better than most cis feminist authors I have read at acknowledging trans and gender nonconforming existence and making gender (dis)order a part of her analysis, but I was still disappointed that her discussion of trans experience of war was so limited. She described the experiences of cis women and cis men with a fair amount of breadth, but only acknowledged trans experience of war through examples of trans people navigating TSA checkpoints. One could read her analysis and imagine that no trans people fight wars, end up as civilian casualties, or navigate food scarcity and other aspects of war--something that is certainly not true. Still, I thought much of the analysis was smart and helpful.
