Abstract

| This research paper presents a queer feminist analysis of gendered discourses in South Africa’s (SA) (2020-2025) National Action Plan (NAP) on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS). It builds on an extensive field of WPS scholarship by using the case study of SA’s NAP to illustrate how policy can be used to harness critical gendered language and create possibilities for radical (re)imaginings of gendered peace . While a considerable knowledge base that explores the gendered discourses of NAPs on WPS already exists, a key gap in the literature —that has only more recently begun to be explored with greater rigor— is the bridging of queer and feminist theories to further push the boundaries of discursive policy analysis. Against this backdrop, feminist critical discourse analysis (CDA) was applied to the NAP case study to surface dominant and counter-discourses on gender and their possible inclusionary/exclusionary effects. Key findings centre the potential value of policy discourses which, in their fragmentation, ruptures, continuities and ambivalences, can facilitate opportunities for queer peace at the instrumental level and beyond.

（En）性别和平：对南非（2020-2025年）妇女、和平与安全国家行动计划的女性主义分析

这篇研究论文对南非(SA)(2020-2025)关于妇女、和平与安全(WPS)的国家行动计划(NAP)中的性别话语进行了酷儿女权主义分析。它以广泛的WPS学术领域为基础，通过使用SA NAP的案例研究来说明如何使用政策来利用关键的性别语言并为性别和平的激进(重新)想象创造可能性。虽然已经有相当多的知识基础来探索关于WPS的nap的性别话语，但文献中的一个关键缺口——直到最近才开始以更严格的方式探索——是酷儿和女权主义理论之间的桥梁，以进一步推动话语政策分析的边界。在此背景下，女性主义批评话语分析(CDA)被应用于NAP案例研究，以揭示关于性别的主导话语和反话语及其可能的包容/排斥作用。主要发现集中在政策话语的潜在价值上，这些话语在它们的分裂、破裂、连续性和矛盾中，可以在工具层面和更高层面上促进酷儿和平的机会。
