Time banks are an alternative economic system proposed to address social problems by stimulating work and exchange through time-based currency. They aim to redefine work and money, through building social capital to alleviate social problems. As women are disproportionately affected by these problems, it follows that membership is predominantly female, often poor. This article takes the position that time banks provide a lens through which to theorize the feminist potential of alternative forms of economic organization. It examines the ways in which feminists, and time banks, have sought to redefine the concepts of work and money, as well as the context of time banks within the Third Sector. “The reality” of these concepts in practice is then critically analyzed using empirical data from a year as an active participant within a time bank. The findings demonstrate the complex issues regarding how the time bank functioned in practice, particularly in relation to how members engaged with it, and articulated their participation. Further, the way in which the system co-opted feminist potentials of alternative economic practices as part of the Third Sector, through a conception of social capital, is shown to be problematic in terms of exploiting the energies of already exploited women. This research shows the need for ongoing critical examination of initiatives targeted at social problems, particularly those mirroring feminist activism, in order to prevent the co-option of energies and work.

时间到了:分析时间银行的女权主义潜力

时间银行是一种替代经济体系,旨在通过基于时间的货币刺激工作和交流来解决社会问题。他们的目标是重新定义工作和金钱,通过建立社会资本来缓解社会问题。由于女性受到这些问题的影响不成比例,因此成员主要是女性,通常很贫穷。本文采取的立场是,时间银行提供了一个镜头,通过它可以对替代经济组织形式的女权主义潜力进行理论化。它考察了女权主义者和时间银行试图重新定义工作和金钱概念的方式,以及第三部门内时间银行的背景。然后,作为时间银行的积极参与者,使用一年的经验数据批判性地分析这些概念在实践中的“现实”。调查结果显示了时间银行在实践中如何运作的复杂问题,特别是与成员如何参与和阐明他们的参与有关。此外,该系统通过社会资本的概念将替代性经济实践的女权主义潜力作为第三部门的一部分,在利用已经被剥削的妇女的能量方面被证明是有问题的。这项研究表明,需要对针对社会问题的举措进行持续的批判性审查,特别是那些反映女权主义激进主义的举措,以防止能量和工作的共同选择。该系统通过社会资本的概念将替代性经济实践的女权主义潜力作为第三部门的一部分,在利用已经被剥削的妇女的能量方面被证明是有问题的。这项研究表明,需要对针对社会问题的举措进行持续的批判性审查,特别是那些反映女权主义激进主义的举措,以防止能量和工作的共同选择。该系统通过社会资本的概念将替代性经济实践的女权主义潜力作为第三部门的一部分,在利用已经被剥削的妇女的能量方面被证明是有问题的。这项研究表明,需要对针对社会问题的举措进行持续的批判性审查,特别是那些反映女权主义激进主义的举措,以防止能量和工作的共同选择。
