Abstract

ABSTRACT This article uses interview data to explore how queer fat femme women and gender nonconforming individuals negotiate a dominant cultural fashioning of fat fem(me)ininity as hyperfeminine, fat “in the right places,” white, cisgender, and upper/middle-class. By considering the pressures queer fat femmes experience to embody this culturally intelligible fat fem(me)ininity; the consequences participants experience for deviating from this fem(me)ininity; participants’ feelings of failure in relation to this fat fem(me)ininity; and participants’ articulations of queer fat femme as a space of resistance and community via their own fashionings of fat and queer fem(me)ininities, this article argues that there is a need to broaden narrow cultural conceptions of fat fem(me)ininity. Expanding conceptions of fat fem(me)ininity offers opportunities to recognize and value queer fat femmes’ own (re)fashionings of fat fem(me)ininities.
塑造胖女人(我)的个性
摘要:本文通过访谈数据探讨酷儿肥胖女性和性别不一致的个体是如何在主流文化对肥胖女性(me)的塑造中进行协商的:超女性化、“适当的地方”肥胖、白人、顺性别和中上层阶级。通过考虑酷儿胖女人在体现这种文化上可理解的胖女人(我)的有限性方面所经历的压力;参与者偏离这个有限(我)的极限所经历的后果;参与者的失败感与这种肥胖女性(我)的有限性有关;以及参与者通过自己对肥胖和酷儿fem(me)有限性的塑造,将酷儿fat femme (me)有限性作为一种抵抗空间和社区的表述,本文认为有必要拓宽关于fat fem(me)有限性的狭隘文化概念。胖女人(我)无限概念的扩展为认识和重视酷儿胖女人自己对胖女人(我)无限的(重新)塑造提供了机会。
