| Resumen en inglés | Cynthia Enloe’s thought has now become a common heritage for all of us who share a sense of importance of the role that Gender Studies more generally, and feminist scholarship in particular, have for broadening our account of international politics, and for making us more critical, sensible and smarter about the international operations of power. In this conversation, I tried to probe her thoughts, looking for ways in which her reflection could help us make sense not only of the long and hard trajectory that feminist studies have faced in the past few decades, but also of the ongoing difficulties and struggles that it continues to face throughout processes sustaining a certain ‘modernization of patriarchy’. During the conversation, I tried to pursue three different explorations: the first was concerned with reflecting on the impact of Cynthia’s work in the disciplinary field of International Relations, the advancements and setbacks faced by feminist scholarship since her first major intervention with Bananas, Beaches and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics (Enloe [1990] 2014); secondly, we reflected on the particular theme of this Special Issue, addressing some particularities of gender and feminist studies in the global South; lastly, we addressed a timely topic, namely, the not always easy conversations and cross-fertilization between feminist scholarship and feminist activism. The result of this dialogue was very enticing and thought provoking (Gender in the Global South is actually a triple Special Issue and more articles on the theme will be featured in the two issues coming after this one) |
