STRATEGIC GENDERING: WHEN CAPABILITIES BECOME MULTIVALENT In this analytic shift from individual to system, the category of capabilities can change valence; more precisely, it is marked by multi- valence in that it can be positive or negative, depending partly on the specific assemblage of elements within which it functions.5 I argue that capabilities can evince negative valence: under certain conditions, what is good for a system (including good for noxious systems) turns out not to be necessarily good for the individual even if her capabilities have come into play to enable, support, that system. This is one way of scaling up particular capabilities of women.	cache/cjgl-2588.pdf	txt/cjgl-2588.txt
