CRED Annual Lecture.11th June 2009, 6p.m. to 7.15."What Love has to do with it?: Sexuality, Work and Power in Caribbean Gender Relations"Professor V. Eudine Barriteau, University of the West Indies.
The Lecture is followed by a reception with an African flavourClinical Lecture Theatre,Francis Bancroft Building,Queen Mary, University of LondonMile End, London EC1 4NS
In this lecture Professor Barriteau applies Anna Jonasdottir’s construction of ‘love power’ towards developing a theory of sexuality and power in the contemporary Commonwealth Caribbean using Barbados as a case study. She engages in a triple play on the meanings of the word ‘coming’ and anchors these meanings to black feminist theorising of the concept of ‘home’ (Barriteau 2006: 21-22; Carby 1997: 47; Smith 1983: 64-72). Barrieteau explores some of the complications romantic loving pose for Caribbean women. She is particularly interested in revealing the continuities between ongoing attempts to subordinate women and the sense of powerlessness that often arises in women’s heterosexual, socio-sexual unions. I attempt to track how these complications become extrapolated into wider systemic inequalities, (especially in conditions of work and employment), even as these are simultaneously reflected back onto the individual relationships and their representations of gendered hierarchies of power and inequalities.
Barriteau foregrounds her analysis in the centrality of work in Caribbean women’s lives, as they navigate the intersections of the public and the private, production and reproduction. Her challenge is to work backwards and forwards from the dynamics of that basic union (played out in private, intimate spaces such as the home), to contemporary developments in Caribbean political economy.
Violet Eudine Barriteau is Professor of Gender and Public Policy of the University of the West Indies. She is Deputy Principal at the Cave Hill Campus, Barbados and was the first Head of the Centre for Gender and Development Studies, Nita Barrow Unit. Professor Barriteau has been awarded numerous academic scholarships and awards.
