摘要

本文通过考察“切割女性生殖器官”(FGM)的全球话语的形成，通过当地关于sunat(割礼)的话语，探讨了马来西亚农村对性和女性身体日益增加的医疗控制。本文将女性生殖器切割视为福柯式的话语，分析了对传统从业者的采访和村民的陈述。现代医疗系统的扩张，以及医学的目光，已经在马来西亚的农村地区带来了性观念，从当地关于sunat的话语中可以看出，sunat是控制女性性欲的一种手段。通过研究全球话语和女性生殖器切割类别与当地sunat实践之间的文化差距，文章得出结论，将当地实践纳入全球是持续的，而不是完全的。

The cultural meaning of ‘female genital mutilation’ in rural Malaysia: The female body and sexuality through the medical gaze

This article explores increasing medical control over sexuality and the female body in rural Malaysia by examining the formation of the global discourse of ‘female genital mutilation’ (FGM) through local discourses on sunat (circumcision). Regarding FGM as a Foucauldian discourse, the article analyses interviews with traditional practitioners and villagers’ statements. The expansion of modern medical systems, along with the medical gaze, has brought notions of sexuality in rural areas of Malaysia as revealed from local discourses on sunat that mention it as a means of controlling female sexuality. By examining the cultural gaps between global discourse and categories of FGM and the local practice of sunat, the article concludes that the incorporation of local practices in the global is ongoing rather than complete.
