Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite a growing interest in intersectional entrepreneurship studies investigating the interplay of privileged and disadvantaged identities, people with disabilities still appear to be a ‘forgotten minority’ in that field. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 29 entrepreneurs with disabilities (EWD), this study examines how differences are constructed by EWD when performing intersectional identity work at the crossroads of disability, gender, and entrepreneurship. The results revealed four overlapping strategies in response to different sources of identity threats, such as disability and gender threats: bracketing, reconciling, adjusting, and neglecting. While the identity work of EWD was informed by challenging dominant entrepreneurial discourse impregnated by ableism and hegemonic masculinity, simultaneously, othering was also used in crafting positive identities, which instead reproduced power-laden social differences.

残疾企业家的跨部门身份认同工作：通过残疾、性别和创业构建差异

摘要尽管人们对调查特权和弱势身份相互作用的跨部门创业研究越来越感兴趣，但残疾人在这一领域似乎仍然是“被遗忘的少数群体”。本研究通过对29名残疾企业家（EWD）的定性访谈，考察了EWD在残疾、性别和创业的十字路口进行跨部门身份工作时如何构建差异。研究结果揭示了四种重叠的策略，以应对不同来源的身份威胁，如残疾和性别威胁：包围、调和、调整和忽视。虽然EWD的身份工作是通过挑战充满能力主义和霸权男性气质的主导创业话语来进行的，但与此同时，他人也被用于塑造积极的身份，这反而再现了充满权力的社会差异。
