Abstract

Abstract Using the case of women’s unveiling during the 2011 Egyptian uprising, I investigate how momentous political events have transformative impacts beyond the overtly “political” sphere of policies and institutions. I trace the choice to unveil among some women protesters to their involvement in collective action and show the different mechanisms that led to their decision. Specifically, I identify three pathways to unveiling: shifts in political opportunities, innovations in the repertoires of contention and the framing of unveiling, and exposure to new mobilizing structures and networks. The data for this project build upon original field research and interview data with women who removed their hijab during the 2011 Egyptian uprising. The article adds to the literature on gender and contentious politics by demonstrating the gendered effects of political opportunity structures on women’s choices around veiling.

2011年埃及起义中的女性揭秘:政治机会与谦逊政治

摘要以2011年埃及起义期间妇女揭幕为例，我调查了重大政治事件如何在公开的“政治”政策和机构领域之外产生变革性影响。我将一些女性抗议者的选择追溯到她们参与集体行动，并展示了导致她们做出决定的不同机制。具体而言，我确定了三条揭开面纱的途径：政治机会的转变、争论和揭开面纱框架的创新，以及接触新的动员结构和网络。该项目的数据建立在对2011年埃及起义期间摘下头巾的妇女的原始实地研究和采访数据的基础上。这篇文章通过展示政治机会结构对女性面纱选择的性别影响，为性别和有争议的政治文献增添了内容。
