摘要

这篇文章探讨了手机在印度南部城市金奈青年生活中的作用。通过实地调查，本文认为手机的社会生活是性别化的。本文策划了三种叙事来阐述这一论点。第一个研究对象是年轻男性和手机，并声称这项技术有助于构建男性气质的规范观念。第二部分探讨了技术如何赋予年轻女性权力，实现流动性，并重建女性能动性。第三部分通过maanam的话语考察了妇女使用和获得技术的监管和纪律。阐明这三种叙述的目的是为了证明手机是一种性别化的技术。

Gendered Technologies: Youth, Gender and Mobile Phones in Chennai City

This article explores the role of mobile phones in the lives of the youth in the city of Chennai, South India. Drawing on field research, the article argues that the social life of the mobile phone is gendered. The article curates three narratives to make this argument. The first engages with young men and mobile phones and claims that the technology is instrumental in the construction of normative ideas of masculinity. The second explores the ways in which the technology has empowered young women, enabled mobility, and reconstituted female agency. The third examines the regulation and disciplining of women’s use of and access to the technology through the discourse of maanam. The aim of articulating these three narratives is to demonstrate that the mobile phone is a gendered technology.

期刊介绍： The Indian Journal of Gender Studies is geared towards providing a more holistic understanding of society. Women and men are not compared mechanically. Rather, gender categories are analysed with a view to changing social attitudes and academic biases which obstruct a holistic understanding of contributions to the family, community and a wider polity. The journal focuses, among other issues, on violence as a phenomenon, the social organisation of the family, the invisibility of women"s work, institutional and policy analyses, women and politics, and motherhood and child care.
