摘要
This article brings into conversation feminist political economy with critical studies in peace and conflict to examine how Myanmar's transition is experienced though everyday gendered sites and with what consequences for women living in rural areas of the country, where lives are shaped as much by the actuality as the possibility of violence. The everyday is where these insecurities are felt, feared and negotiated. To illustrate this, I draw on the experiences of Agnes, a woman growing up within the context of prolonged conflict in rural Myanmar. I demonstrate how Agnes's home, and her bodily labour and vulnerability, is at the locus of a gendered political economy (re)produced both within the home and at the national level. 1 show how the transition has for women like Agnes resulted in a continuation of insecurity, challenging the legitimacy of Myanmar's neoliberal reform initiatives as a meaningful pathway towards sustainable peace and security.
