Self-identified feminists among gender activists and scholars at Indonesian universities

Feministische Selbstidentifikation unter den Aktivistinnen und den Wissenschaftlerinnen an den indonesischen Hochschulen

"Die Selbstidentifikation als FeministIn ist unter FrauenrechtsaktivistInnen und WissenschafterInnen ein kontroverses Thema. In erster Linie liegt dies wohl an unterschiedlichen Interpretationen und positiven wie auch negativen Assoziationen die geläufigerweise mit dem Begriff 'FeministIn' verbunden sind. Die hier präsentierte Forschung untersucht wie sich AktivistInnen und WissenschafterInnen an indonesischen Universitäten innerhalb oder gegenüber dem Begriff Feminismus selbst verorten und analysiert die den jeweiligen Inhalt und die Bedeutung, welche der Begriffs 'FeministIn' für die befragten Personen einnimmt. Die Datenerhebung erfolgte an Pusat Studi Wanita (Zentren für Frauenforschung) bzw. Pusat Studi Gender (Zentren für Genderforschung) sechs verschiedener indonesischer Universitäten in Yogyakarta. Viele Befragte unterstreichen die Bedeutung westlicher FeministInnen für die Bewusstseinschaff ung für geschlechtsspezifische Probleme, für die Stärkung feministischer Identität sowie islamischen Glaubens. Diese Untersuchung behandelt jedoch auch gezielt die Frage, warum der Begriff 'FeministIn' widerum von anderen abgelehnt wird." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"Being a self-identified feminist is controversial among women's rights activists and scholars. This relates to different interpretations of and positive and negative associations with the term 'feminist' in society. The research presented here discusses the different 'feminist' identities and other labels among activists and scholars at Indonesian universities and explores what 'feminist' means for them. Respondents come from Pusat Studi Wanita (Centres for Women's Studies) or Pusat Studi Gender (Centres for Gender Studies) at six universities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Many respondents acknowledge that Western feminists are able to raise awareness of gender issues, strengthen feminist identity, and build up faith in Islam. The paper, however, also addresses the question of why some reject the 'feminist' label." (author's abstract)... view less
