摘要

本文借鉴福柯对新自由主义的理解,探讨了竞争如何作为自我的性别技术来运作,从而为有关性别与竞争的讨论做出了贡献。我们的研究结果基于对在银行和网络营销公司工作的女性的访谈和观察。我们揭示了竞争的不同运作模式:竞争要么是外向型的,即女性与其他女性竞争,要么是内向型的,即女性与自己竞争。本研究通过探讨不同的竞争模式如何在新自由主义下作为自我的性别技术运作,拓展了对性别和竞争的理论认识。我们的结论是,虽然存在不同的模式,但它们的目的是相同的,即在使结构性不平等隐形的同时,也使女性个体化。

Competing against oneself and others? Competition as gendered technologies of the self

Competing against oneself and others? Competition as gendered technologies of the self

This paper contributes to debates on gender and competition by drawing on a Foucauldian understanding of neoliberalism to explore how competition operates as gendered technologies of the self. Our findings are based on interviews and observations with women who work in a bank and a network marketing company. We unfold different modalities of competition that are in operation: competition has either an outward focus where women compete with other women or an inward focus where women compete with oneself. The study expands the theoretical understanding of gender and competition by exploring how different modalities of competition operate as gendered technologies of the self under neoliberalism. We conclude that while different modalities exist, they fulfill the same purpose in that they individualise women while making structural inequalities invisible.
