Abstract

This paper presents a practice theoretical conception of gender in entrepreneurship, emphasizing the potential of reflexivity and collective agency to reshape gendered norms. While the literature recognizes the fluidity of gender and its intersectional nature, it often overlooks how social phenomena are produced and relate to each other. The main aim of this is to show, not just how, gendered norms of entrepreneurial practice inhibit practice (which has been extensively covered) but how identity and the individualized practice of entrepreneurship, can shift gendered norms of entrepreneurial practice. Drawing upon the theories of Pierre Bourdieu and Margaret Archer, this paper proposes a more integrative approach to identity and gendered norms, embedded within a social realist approach. The author highlights the need for structural renegotiation in entrepreneurship through reflexivity. Given how norms self-naturalize, individual practice of diverse gendered practices in entrepreneurship is not enough to create long-term sustainable change and support for diverse gendered practices. Instead, this paper proposes an integrative approach to identity and gendered norms, emphasizing the potential of individuals to shift structural norms, through collective action. This study suggests that a more balanced understanding of the interplay between context and identity can assist in the design of support for non-traditional gendered practices and provide new insights into how gendered norms impact entrepreneurial activity.

重塑创业中的性别规范:将性别认同与创业实践相结合
本文提出了创业中的性别实践理论概念,强调了反思性和集体力量重塑性别规范的潜力。虽然文献承认性别的流动性及其交叉性,但往往忽略了社会现象是如何产生并相互关联的。这篇文章的主要目的不仅在于说明创业实践中的性别规范如何抑制创业实践(这一点已被广泛报道),还在于说明身份认同和个性化的创业实践如何改变创业实践中的性别规范。本文借鉴皮埃尔-布迪厄(Pierre Bourdieu)和玛格丽特-阿切尔(Margaret Archer)的理论,提出了一种嵌入社会现实主义方法中的更具综合性的身份和性别规范方法。作者强调了通过反思性对创业结构进行重新谈判的必要性。鉴于规范是如何自我自然化的,个人在创业中的多元化性别实践并不足以为多元化性别实践创造长期可持续的变革和支持。相反,本文提出了一种整合身份和性别规范的方法,强调个人通过集体行动改变结构性规范的潜力。本研究表明,更平衡地理解背景与身份之间的相互作用,有助于设计对非传统性别实践的支持,并为性别规范如何影响创业活动提供新的见解。
