CONTRASTING VIEWS ON CAPITALISM AND WOMEN IN TERMS OF EDUCATION CONTRASTING VIEWS ON CAPITALISM AND WOMEN IN TERMS OF EDUCATION

Аннотация

This article discusses mainly the issue of education and how feminism and capitalism intersect within this discipline. Nowadays, the topics of feminism, education and capitalism have become debatable subjects. Debatable in a manner that even though many scholars and theorists explore them as academic subjects, many issues relevant to the topic still remain: the most prominent one is widespread inequality. In fact, the postmodern era revealed many problems and tensions in the education system around the world, such as, male-dominance, white supremacy, racism and capitalism. We must acknowledge the fact that the problem is not in the whole society but in individuals themselves: we need to reconstruct our beliefs of values and ‘to recognize the maldistribution and misrecognition inherent to neoliberal capitalism’ and we must learn again how to establish ourselves as subjects apart from the processes of capital circulation. Even as ordinary citizens, we must learn how to critically judge and not accept things for granted.
