I15-R203-article-5952022-07-22T18:48:35Z Gender and war:: a reflection based on the work of Joan Scott Género y guerra:: una reflexión a partir de la obra de Joan Scott Barbás, Juan Martín Gender War Violence Women Masculinity Feminity Género Guerra Violencia Mujer Masculinidad Feminidad The relationship between gender and war constitutes a little deepened theme even by those who identify with political and epistemological positions that focus on the need to use a gender perspective to problematize the existing inequalities at all levels of social life. In this context, Joan Scott's thought provides a fundamental theoretical and methodological framework to understand the relevance of gender on the study of armed conflicts. This paper will take some of Scott's main conceptual elements to reflect on four issues. First, the importance of thinking about armed conflicts from a gender perspective; second, the need to deconstruct traditional notions of masculinity and femininity; thirdly, the assessment of the increasing presence of women within the Armed Forces; and finally, the way in which the resource of violence can be seen as part of women's capacity for agency. La relación entre género y guerra constituye una temática poco –o mal– abordada, incluso por quienes se identifican con posiciones políticas y epistemológicas que hacen foco en la necesidad de utilizar una perspectiva de género para problematizar en profundidad las desigualdades existentes en todos los planos de la vida social. Ante este panorama, el pensamiento de Joan Scott brinda un andamiaje teórico y metodológico fundamental, tanto para entender la relevancia de llevar a cabo análisis a partir de la categoría género, como para, en efecto, llevar a buen término dichos análisis. El presente trabajo toma algunos de los principales elementos conceptuales de dicha autora para, a partir de los mismos, reflexionar en torno a cuatro cuestiones. En primer lugar, la importancia de pensar los conflictos armados en clave de género; en segundo lugar, la necesidad de deconstruir las nociones tradicionales de masculinidad y feminidad, en tanto las mismas distorsionan la comprensión sobre el modo en el cual hombres y mujeres se vinculan con el fenómeno de la guerra; en tercer lugar, la valoración de la cada vez mayor presencia de mujeres al interior de las Fuerzas Armadas; y por último, el modo en el cual el recurso de la violencia puede ser visto como parte de la capacidad de agencia de las mujeres.

description |
The relationship between gender and war constitutes a little deepened theme even by those who identify with political and epistemological positions that focus on the need to use a gender perspective to problematize the existing inequalities at all levels of social life. In this context, Joan Scott's thought provides a fundamental theoretical and methodological framework to understand the relevance of gender on the study of armed conflicts.
This paper will take some of Scott's main conceptual elements to reflect on four issues. First, the importance of thinking about armed conflicts from a gender perspective; second, the need to deconstruct traditional notions of masculinity and femininity; thirdly, the assessment of the increasing presence of women within the Armed Forces; and finally, the way in which the resource of violence can be seen as part of women's capacity for agency. |
