Asian Studies Seminar : Theorising Women’s Agency and Power in Sendang Biru, East Java |
Other events...
|
This paper examines local understandings of how women exercise agency and power in Sendang Biru, a fishing village on the south coast of East Java. The development of the fishing industry in Sendang Biru has brought about improved standards of living for many women, both locals and migrants. These changes have meant a corresponding shift in how agency is enacted in women’s everyday lives. My analysis will examine how the exercising of power and agency are related to changes in the surrounding socioeconomic environment. Furthermore, ideas of public vs. private displays of power and agency will be problematized. Another component of this paper is the linkages between agency, power and status. This paper is based on several months of fieldwork carried out in Sendang Biru in 2010.
