Women Entrepreneurs Negotiating Identities in Liminal Digital Spaces
通过女性从就业转向数字创业的叙事，批判了数字技术赋权的乐观论调，揭示了性别规范如何渗透其日常生活与自我，并展示了她们通过身份游戏与身份工作应对阈限性。
Our article conceptualizes the experiences of women entrepreneurs through exploring how they negotiate an entrepreneurial identity in liminal digital spaces. Providing empirically textured narrative portraits of women’s experience of transitioning from employment to a digital entrepreneurial career, this article counters the ascendant rhetoric celebrating the democratizing promise of digital technologies. We present a more critical analysis of the experience of self-doubt and existential precarity including the ways in which gender norms permeate the intimate structures of women entrepreneurs’ everyday lives and selves. We also develop the concept of liminality by illustrating how women digital entrepreneurs cope with liminality through identity play and identity work.
