Abstract

Albert Hirschman’s exit-voice paradigm provides a useful lens for analyzing the current neo-categorical phase of gender politics in which attention has shifted from the content of the binary gender categories to the structure of the gender category system. During this phase of categorical destabilization, exit from originally assigned categories—in bureaucratically recorded, statistically reported, and informally negotiated forms—has become culturally legitimate and institutionally supported in a broadening range of milieus. Hirschman’s paradigm brings into focus the selectivity of exit and its potentially—and paradoxically—stabilizing consequences for the traditional gender order. The increased ease and pronounced selectivity of exit can channel dissatisfaction with gender arrangements into exit rather than voice or—as exit may itself be a form of voice—into individualized, psychologically driven forms of voice. And the selective exit of gender-nonconforming individuals from originally assigned categories can reinforce the stereotypical associations of these categories with gender conformity.
退出、声音和性别
阿尔伯特·赫希曼的退出-声音范式为分析当前性别政治的新范畴主义阶段提供了一个有用的视角,在这个阶段,人们的注意力已经从二元性别范畴的内容转移到性别范畴系统的结构上。在这个分类不稳定的阶段,从最初指定的类别中退出——以官僚记录、统计报告和非正式谈判的形式——在文化上是合法的,在更广泛的环境中得到了制度上的支持。赫希曼的范式聚焦于退出的选择性及其对传统性别秩序潜在的——矛盾的——稳定后果。退出的日益轻松和明显的选择性可以将对性别安排的不满转化为退出而不是发声,或者——退出本身可能是一种发声形式——转化为个性化的、心理驱动的发声形式。性别不符合的个体选择性退出原有的分类会强化这些分类与性别符合的刻板印象联系。
