Dear all,
I am seeking empowerment (many a true word said in jest).
Does anyone know any good references on this (now less fashionable) term.
Better still references in which Foucault et al/postmodernism and
empowerment are mentioned in the same breath. I have some, but am I
missing anything?
Is empowerment an unredeemably modernist concept? Is deconstruction of
dominant discourse the only possibility? I am trying to put square pegs in
round holes in the context of a discussion about gender sensitive
participatory HIV work in rural Africa.
Secondly, there have been some theory versus empirical type debates
recently - but has anyone spotted any references that specifically address
praxis and geographical research/geographers?
All tips, refs. and suggestions gratefully received.
