In this paper, we suggest that theorising on gendered structural violence and inequalities in disaster recovery would benefit from the in-depth focus on intersections of social relations and processes as they manifest in everyday lives. Drawing from the theorising on neoliberal states, we propose a new theoretical approach of “wounded attachments to disaster recovery”. This theoretical position is informed by the lives of three women survivors from three diverse disasters in India. Five perspectives on gendered disaster recovery experience is then presented: firstly, how the recovery beneficiary categories are an extension of the neoliberal subject position; secondly, how recovery reinforces gendered responsibilities as “building oneself back better”, a respectable mother and provider; thirdly, how recovery causes pain, suffering, and ressentiment; fourthly, how complex inequalities and social relations are lived through and negotiated in the aftermath of disasters; and finally, how women narrate counter cultural everydayness to disaster recovery in their life histories. We suggest that an understanding of intersectionality, or interlocking systems of oppression, as a form of injury, allows to understand power and structures of disaster recovery. Reiterations of such injuries suggest that instead of reducing vulnerability, and injustice, recovery efforts reiterate these very structures of inequality. The failure to operationalize and capture the complexities of structural inequality and injustice in the context of disaster recovery could be overcome by drawing on the work of scholars who recognise the limits of the concept of intersectionality and engage in alternate conceptualizations, such as pain, suffering, trauma and wounded attachments.

在本文中，我们建议，针对性别结构性暴力和灾难恢复中的不平等问题的理论将受益于深入关注日常生活中表现出的社会关系和过程的交集。从新自由主义国家的理论出发，我们提出了一种“受伤的对灾难恢复的依恋”的新理论方法。这一理论立场得益于来自印度三场不同灾害的三名女性幸存者的生活。然后提出了关于性别灾难恢复经验的五种观点：首先，恢复受益人类别如何扩展了新自由主义主体的地位；其次，恢复如何加强作为“可敬的母亲和提供者”的性别责任，即“让自己更好地重建”；第三，康复如何引起痛苦，痛苦和满足感；第四，灾难后如何度过复杂的不平等和社会关系并进行谈判；最后，妇女如何叙述自己的生活史中与灾难恢复有关的日常文化。我们建议，对交叉性或互锁的压迫系统（作为一种伤害形式）的理解可以理解灾难恢复的力量和结构。对此类伤害的重申表明，恢复工作并没有减少脆弱性和不公正现象，而是重申了这种不平等的结构。可以通过利用学者的工作来克服未能在灾难恢复的背景下有效地发挥和抓住结构性不平等和不公正现象的复杂性的问题，这些学者的工作认识到了交叉性概念的局限性，并进行了替代性的概念化，
