摘要
在全球北方的许多环境中,变性和性别多元化自我认同的支持者与自称为 "性别批判 "的女权主义者之间的女权论述正在发生冲突,后者认为这有损于女权目标。我们认为,当代女权主义话语被引入防御性和对立性的渠道,这使得围绕性/性别自由的、更加细致入微的、面向未来的乌托邦式思考失去了空间,限制了行动者联盟的发展前景,这些行动者关注的不是差异,而是共性。通过与西蒙娜-德-波伏娃(Simone de Beauvoir)、舒拉米丝-费尔斯通(Shulamith Firestone)和卢斯-伊里格拉伊(Luce Irigaray)的经典女权主义作品进行对话,我们考虑了另一种以潜在性本体论为前提的自由方式,这种自由方式与接受二元性别等级制度的物质性相结合,但仍然是乌托邦式的、开放式的,显示出超越这些障碍并有可能克服这些分歧的能力。
Gender, Sex and Freedom: Testing the Theoretical Limits of the Twenty-First-Century ‘Gender Wars’ with Simone de Beauvoir, Shulamith Firestone and Luce Irigaray
Many Global North contexts are experiencing conflict in feminist discourses between supporters of trans and gender diverse self-identification and self-proclaimed ‘gender critical’ feminists who consider this to undermine feminist goals. We argue that the channelling of contemporary feminist discourse into defensive and oppositional channels has foreclosed the space for more nuanced and future-oriented, utopian thought around freedom from sex/gender, limiting the prospect of developing a coalition of actors focused not on difference, but rather on commonality. Putting classic feminist works by Simone de Beauvoir, Shulamith Firestone and Luce Irigaray into dialogue, we consider an alternative approach to freedom premised on an ontology of potentiality combined with acceptance of the materiality of the binary gender hierarchy, that nonetheless remains utopian and open-ended, demonstrating the capacity to transcend these impasses and potentially overcome these divides.
