摘要

本文采用女权主义后结构主义的方法来研究性别刻板印象和偏见是如何导致女性在航空业更有声望、收入更高的技术和运营部门中的代表性不足的。关于性别表演的意识形态的社会文化建构在他们所处的行业和社会的男性和女性中都根深蒂固;因此,个体主体和结构在维持飞行员和空乘人员的性别比喻方面是共犯。将实地考察重点放在奥地利这个非英语圈的西方社会上,在奥地利,航空业没有强大的历史或存在感,这有助于将性别差异作为全球航空业固有的一种现象置于背景下。通过与来自奥地利航空业各个部门的参与者进行深入的、半结构化的访谈和人种学探索,再加上我自己作为一名女飞行员的生活经历,我的目标是打开航空业的黑匣子,揭示在英语圈之外,全球范围内造成、支持和维持性别不平等的日常行为。我要强调的是,关于适当的性别表现的强烈信念,在社会中普遍存在,并深深植根于运营和客户服务职业之间的划分,以有助于再现不平等的方式影响职业发展和沟通规范。

The pilot and the flight attendant: Aviation's gendered performance tropes

The pilot and the flight attendant: Aviation's gendered performance tropes

This paper uses a feminist poststructuralist approach to investigate how gender stereotyping and biases lead to the underrepresentation of women within the more prestigious and better-paid technical and operational sectors of the aviation industry. Sociocultural constructs of ideologies about gendered performances are deeply ingrained in men and women both in the industry and the society they live in; thus, the individual agents as well as the structures are accomplices in maintaining gendered tropes of the pilot and the flight attendant. Focusing the fieldwork on Austria as a non-Anglosphere Western society where aviation does not have a strong history or presence helps to contextualize gender disparity as a phenomenon intrinsic to the global industry. Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and ethnographic explorations with participants from various sectors of Austrian aviation, added to my own lived experiences as a female pilot, my aim is to open aviation's Black Box to reveal the day-to-day behaviors that create, support, and sustain gender-based inequalities globally beyond the Anglosphere. I emphasize the powerful beliefs about appropriate gendered performances that are both pervasive in society and deeply embedded within the division between operational and customer service occupations, impacting career progression and communicative norms in ways that help reproduce inequalities.
