| This study shade some light in feminist studies by deploying the incorporating comparison model, post-colonial studies and transnational feminist paradigm through long term and large scale analysis, which I call 'a movement from abstract to concrete', back and forth. This dialogue may open an appreciation of insights offered in the initial rendering of world system challenge to modernism theory. The ideologies and practice of discrimination and classification of people based on gender, race, ethnicity and nationality were formulated as a part of the reproductive process of the world system.;Methodologically, this study exposes two problems; one, the social whole, its parts and properties of each other have been vague; such homogenization underestimates the diverse relations within and among the core, periphery and semi-periphery. Two, trying to question the inequality in the household members along the lines of age, and sex become masked.;This dissertation call to understand how the process of accumulation is enabled, and work through, geopolitical, hegemonic relations that cannot be ignored or considered subsidiary to understanding their operations and sustainability. More so, the biological interpretation of gender difference tends to reinforce gender inequality to name who fits into neither (male nor female) set of genetic anatomical relational as "deviant". The question this dissertation poses is precisely the antithetical relation, of male/female.;The current feminist theories have focused, on the role of violence against women in the establishment of production relations which are based on labor commodity issues such as rape, dowry murder, genital mutilation, foot binding and twin killing.;This study argues that, in order to develop an appropriate approach to remedy this problem, we must recognize that there are many ' lived realities', hence many cultures whose components are to be mapped out. This is the realization that challenges the symbolic dimension of 'linear thinking'. The analysis in this work is made complete by comparing two instances of commodification of female labor through the sex industry, (Senegal and Thailand). This work, is concerned not only with issues of gender difference and contextual boundaries of feminist parody but also social change in the broadest sense. |
