| 520 | 3 | |a This thesis examines the role campaigns/movements within the development industry play to colonize and subjectify the subaltern girl. Over the past decade, The Girl Effect, Half the Sky Movement, Girl Rising, and I Am Malala, have all created conversations in the Global North about the importance of elevating the status of The Girl from the Global South in order to assuage global poverty. We pose the question: how do these campaigns/movements enact imperial violence on the subjects they aim to elevate? Calling upon feminist and postcolonial theorists, such as Gayatri Spivak, Chandra Mohanty, and April Biccum, we answer this question by conducting a content analysis of the movements' communications through individual case studies. Our analysis finds that in re-presenting The Girl of the Global South as a victim needing to be saved by the Global North, these movements effectively spread imperial, neoliberal, and racist ideology. | |
