Conjugality, Subjectivity, Desire and Gender-based Violence in Tajikistan
基于1990年代末塔吉克斯坦的民族志材料,分析一对表亲婚姻中的性别主体性差异、代际权力关系及药物成瘾如何交织产生性别暴力,挑战了将性别暴力简单视为男性对女性施暴的刻板印象。
Abstract This article, based on ethnographic materials collected in Tajikistan in the late 1990s, melds cross-cultural psychologies, (feminist) ethnography, sexualities and gender studies. It explores Zakari's marriage to his cousin, Sumangul. The cousins' different backgrounds produced distinct forms of (gendered) subjectivity, with Sumangul demonstrating greater intra-psychic autonomy. Their patrilocal marriage was enmeshed in gender-based violence, influenced by drug addiction and problematic intergenerational power relations. The article challenges gender-based violence as solely male on female, and shows the importance of age for gender identities in gerontocratic settings. It suggests a more nuanced approach to gender can improve development research and practice.
