PC or Not PC: Sexual Harassment and the Question of Ambivalence
结合英美大学校园的性骚扰政治与“政治正确”辩论,分析一份代表性政策文件中对男女主体性的不同假设,并通过案例展示基于多重、非统一性别主体性及无意识间主体动态的替代分析,讨论其政治含义。
The contemporary politics of sexual harassment on university campuses in the U.K. and the U.S. is considered in the light of “political correctness” debates. Threats to natural justice are discussed in relation to the different assumptions concerning men's and women's subjectivity in a representative university sexual harassment policy document. An alternative analysis in terms of multiple, non-unitary gendered subjectivities, taking into account unconscious intersubjective dynamics, is illustrated through a case example. The political implications of this analysis are discussed.
