摘要

月经跟踪是一种日益普遍的做法,其重点正在从监测生育率转变为更广泛地了解用户的健康状况。对个人月经周期数据以及与之密切相关的荷尔蒙进行研究,是一种重塑健康观念的做法,同时也塑造了在监控资本主义条件下成功的主体和主体性。本文通过对六个扩展访谈的仔细研究,阐述了一种避开生育问题的经期追踪方式,并以此参与月经技术的 "同性恋化"。应用程序可以促进医疗机构的专业知识与日常生活中的体现性体验相结合,将自我作为一个更广泛的管理项目。我们引入了 "荷尔蒙健康 "的概念来描述一种关爱和了解身体的方式,这种方式将心理和生理健康结合在一起,将主观和客观信息联系在一起,并质疑疾病和健康之间的界限。对于与我们交谈过的人来说,月经周期被理解为对自我身份的影响,超越了任何简单的身心划分或生殖要求,产生了复杂的自我管理技巧,包括监测、假设、干预医疗预约、调整日程安排和解释社会互动。这些技术增强了支持者的能力,但并不是在他们所选择的条件下。除了数据隐私和利益问题之外,这些技术在性别分层、新自由主义的背景下,延续了个性化的解决方案和压力的内化,促进了在有缺陷的结构中取得成功。

Hormonal Health: Period Tracking Apps, Wellness, and Self-Management in the Era of Surveillance Capitalism.

Period tracking is an increasingly widespread practice, and its emphasis is changing from monitoring fertility to encompassing a more broad-based picture of users' health. Delving into the data of one's menstrual cycle, and the hormones that are presumed to be intimately linked with it, is a practice that is reshaping ideas about health and wellness, while also shaping subjects and subjectivities that succeed under conditions of surveillance capitalism. Through close examination of six extended interviews, this article elaborates a version of period tracking that sidesteps fertility and, in doing so, participates in the "queering" of menstrual technologies. Apps can facilitate the integration of institutional medical expertise and quotidian embodied experience within a broader approach to the self as a management project. We introduce the concept of "hormonal health" to describe a way of caring for, and knowing about, bodies, one that weaves together mental and physical health, correlates subjective and objective information, and calls into question the boundary between illness and wellness. For those we spoke with, menstrual cycles are understood to affect selfhood across any simplistic body-mind division or reproductive imperative, engendering complex techniques of self-management, including monitoring, hypothesizing, intervening in medical appointments, adjusting schedules, and interpreting social interactions. Such techniques empower their proponents, but not within conditions of their choosing. In addition to problems with data privacy and profit, these techniques perpetuate individualized solutions and the internalization of pressures in a gender-stratified, neoliberal context, facilitating success within flawed structures.
