Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite decades of controversy, microcredit initiatives continue to be championed by government aid agencies as a ‘win-win’ for both international development and women’s empowerment, bolstered by ideas of ‘smart economics.’ Most scholarship critiques these programs from a Marxist or poststructuralist perspective. This article instead investigates microcredit programming through the lens of feminist dignity and demonstrates the use of a framework founded on this idea. By using this framework to interrogate evidence from in-depth qualitative field research in West Bengal, India, this article argues that a focus on feminist dignity can improve women’s agency and wellbeing.

尽管存在数十年的争议，政府援助机构仍然支持小额信贷倡议，认为这是国际发展和妇女赋权的“双赢”，并受到“聪明经济学”理念的支持。大多数学术研究都是从马克思主义或后结构主义的角度来批评这些项目的。本文通过女权主义尊严的视角来研究小额信贷规划，并展示了基于这一理念的框架的使用。通过使用这一框架对来自印度西孟加拉邦的深入定性实地研究的证据进行询问，本文认为关注女权主义尊严可以改善妇女的能力性和福祉。
