摘要

政治辩论研究已经在性别混合辩论和女性政治运动的背景下调查了性别,但性别如何影响男性之间的政治辩论?为了回答这个问题,我分析了2012年的三次美国大选总统巴拉克·奥巴马和州长米特·罗姆尼之间的大选辩论。我发现奥巴马和罗姆尼描述了美国家庭的危机,他们试图通过制定旨在保护国家家庭的总统男子气概来解决危机:要么作为一个与家庭一起工作的养育父亲(奥巴马),要么作为一个代表家庭工作的坚强父亲(罗姆尼)。这两项战略都涉及使家庭在国家的适当帮助下成为更有效的社会和经济单位。研究这些策略说明辩论如何在修辞上稳定更广泛的性别关系话语,并构建社会正义行动主义的必要性和可能性。

Contesting presidential masculinity: “fatherhood” as a rhetorical strategy in the 2012 general election debates
Abstract Political debate research has investigated gender in the contexts of mix-gendered debates and women’s political campaigns, but how does gender factor in political debates between men? To address this question, I analyze the three 2012 U.S. General Election debates between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney. I find that Obama and Romney described crises for the American family that they sought to resolve by enacting presidential masculinity designed to protect the national family: either as a nurturing father who works with families (Obama) or as a strong father who works on behalf of families (Romney). Both strategies involved enabling families to be more effective social and economic units with appropriate help from the state. Examining these strategies illustrates how debates rhetorically stabilize broader discourses of gender relations and frame the need for and possibility of social justice activism.
