摘要

最近一系列学科的学术研究表明,公共卫生领域“肥胖流行病”的修辞与日常肥胖羞辱的修辞是如何融合在一起的,这些修辞将特定的身体标记为道德失败、智力低下和公民不健康的象征。萨布丽娜·斯特林斯、雷切尔·桑德斯、艾米·法雷尔等人的研究表明,这种污名化也强化了种族化、性别化和负责任公民的新自由主义观念。然而,对这些话语效应的批判性分析很少强调它们与民主理论和实践的关系。因此,本文研究了反肥胖和肥胖羞辱话语如何对肥胖主体的价值和能力产生怀疑,特别是有色人种女性,作为公民的正式成员参与其中,他们的需求、愿望和关注值得民主考虑。至关重要的是,通过肥胖羞辱的边缘化机制在民主理论的一系列方法中发挥作用,包括自由主义、共和主义和审议方法。此外,将肥胖主体排除在民众之外,会给民主本身造成一种贫穷和反常的形象,即一种紧缩、自我否定和与他人分离的政治。

Weight Stigma, Citizenship, and Neoliberal Democracy
Recent scholarship across a range of disciplines has illuminated how the rhetoric of an “obesity epidemic” in public health converges with everyday fat-shaming rhetoric to mark particular bodies as indicative of moral failing, intellectual debility, and civic unfitness. Sabrina Strings, Rachel Sanders, Amy Farrell, and others have shown that this stigmatization also reinforces racialized, gendered, and neoliberal conceptions of responsible citizenship. Yet critical analysis of these discursive effects rarely highlights their relationship to democratic theory and practice. Accordingly, this paper examines how anti-obesity and fat-shaming discourse casts doubt on the worthiness and capacity of fat subjects, especially women of color, to participate as full members of the demos whose needs, desires, and concerns merit democratic consideration. Crucially, the mechanisms of marginalization through fat-shaming function across a range of approaches to democratic theory, including liberal, republican, and deliberative approaches. Furthermore, the exclusion of fat subjects from the demos contributes to an impoverished and perverse image of democracy itself as a politics of austerity, self-denial, and separation from others.

期刊介绍: Since its inception in 1968, Polity has been committed to the publication of scholarship reflecting the full variety of approaches to the study of politics. As journals have become more specialized and less accessible to many within the discipline of political science, Polity has remained ecumenical. The editor and editorial board welcome articles intended to be of interest to an entire field (e.g., political theory or international politics) within political science, to the discipline as a whole, and to scholars in related disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities. Scholarship of this type promises to be highly "productive" - that is, to stimulate other scholars to ask fresh questions and reconsider conventional assumptions.
