Abstract

Using a political ecology framework to explore the gendered nature of extended family support networks for the elderly, this article reveals the ways that older women and men negotiate their social and material worlds in the context of extreme ecological and economic conditions. The historical processes that shape the social and material worlds in which these elders move include development induced resettlement, postcolonial politics and economics, and catastrophic chronic illness and mortality of children. Drawing from ethnographic research from 1994 through 2008, the article explores how people living in economically and ecologically dire circumstances manage their social and material worlds to the best of their ability.
老龄化,代理和温贝汤加勉强度日
本文运用政治生态学的框架来探讨老年人大家庭支持网络的性别本质,揭示了老年女性和男性在极端生态和经济条件下协商其社会和物质世界的方式。塑造这些老年人所处的社会和物质世界的历史进程包括发展导致的重新安置,后殖民政治和经济,以及灾难性的慢性病和儿童死亡率。从1994年到2008年的民族志研究中,文章探讨了生活在经济和生态恶劣环境中的人们如何尽其所能地管理他们的社会和物质世界。
