Накратко на български

Феминистските теории в изследванията на ловците-събирачи анализират как се разбират полът и социалните роли в древните общества. Това помага за по-доброто разбиране на важни теми като колониализма, геноцидите и адаптацията към климатичните промени.

GaTHeR, Gender and Transfer of Knowledge in Hunter Gatherer Research

Project's objectives. The project aimed at analyzing feminist knowledge production in hunter-gatherers (HG) studies, a subfield in Archaeology and Anthropology selected as a case study. The project had from the beginning an ambitious and multifaceted work package broken down in two parts. The first part asked : Have feminist insights made inroads in HG studies? How has the notion of gender been integrated? Do specialists of small-scale-societies draw on feminist social theories (i.e queer, and post/decolonial approaches)? Which methods are being the most compatible with feminist knowledges? The second part of the project focused on the context within which knowledges are generated today by considering the neoliberal character of academia. Indeed multiple constraints and pressures can be observed today such as: changing governance structures, a decrease of public funding, gendered career asymmetries, a relegation of women to teaching activities, and time acceleration to mention only a few aspects. These current transformation impacts the way knowledge is produced, who controls it, and whose interests are served (see Alvanoudi 2009, Lykke 2010). Key questions were: to what extent is feminist knowledge production affected by such changes? Looking at the current academic working conditions, questions were formulated about their possible relations with the circulation of critical knowledges? Is the HG field of research specific? Importance for the society. Scholars investigate HG societies for addressing pressing issues related to colonialism, genocides, the necessary adaptation of climate changes, or HIV/AIDS infection, among others. Employing a gender dimension in HG research is therefore crucial, and the marginalization of feminist and Indigenous knowledges remain indeed highly questionable.

Цел на проекта

This project analyses feminist knowledge transfer in mainstream Science. Following the European Research Area key priority of strengthening the Gender dimension in research programs, the goal of this research is building a methodology to better understand the relations between Knowledge Production, Gendered Organisations and Methodological Challenges through a multidisciplinary case-study; hunter-gatherer (HG) research. The knowledge acquired on HG is deeply committed to erasing the frontiers between social and natural sciences and shedding light on the history of Humankind. HG studies are essential for understanding Human nature and how androcentrism has shaped specific disciplines and are also a promising field of research for exploring new methodologies (e.g., experimental games or social simulation). The research project examines the nature of knowledge transfer and the barriers preventing feminist knowledge from being integrated into distinct disciplines.The research adopts a mixed method approach. The first part consists of a retrospective discourse analysis offering a cartography of feminists’ contributions based on major scientific publications within HG studies from 1960 to present. The second part is a case study combining both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The quantitative online survey will test the first assumptions and enable to identify a group of participants. Also, 40 semi-structured interviews will be conducted with specialists on HG societies. Key questions concern the structural obstacles related to organisational changes, methodologies, and the frontiers between the disciplines that prevent gender from becoming a transversal issue. This research will address how gendered power relations within Academia normalize epistemology today. Finally, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis will propose concrete enhancements to foster the inclusion of gender dimension in research programs.
