摘要

本研究以性别理论与女性主义地理学研究为基础,深度访谈37位酒店女性职业人,试图解析女性职业人的性别建构和空间互动问题。研究发现:第一,酒店基层女性员工认为在工作场域中恰当地践行性别是其职业初期不断摸索和协商的重要事项;第二,消解性别并不是普遍存在的,中高层员工面临突破性别定势的困境;第三,到达酒店高层岗位的女性职业人通过家庭场域的消解性别,或弱化家庭和工作场域的性别矛盾而选择回归践行性别。女性职业人对与性别关联的规范和属性进行挑战和改变,诠释了不同空间和职业发展阶段中的性别规训与操演。

Abstract

Grounded on the theoretical strands of doing gender and feminist geography, this study investigates the gendering process of female hotel professionals at their home sphere and workspace. Doing and undoing gender of female labor highly depends on the interplay between social fields and the stage of career. First, entry-level female staff in the hotel believe that how to properly doing gender in the workplace is an important matter for constant exploration and negotiation in the early stages of their careers. Second, undoing gender will not be universal in the work or family field of every female professional. Middle-level and high-level employees generally face the dilemma of breaking through gender stereotypes. Third, female professionals who arrive at high-level positions in the hotel choose to return to do gender through the undoing gender in the family field, or the weakening of the gender contradiction between the family and the work field. In the process of spatial interaction, female professionals challenge and change gender-related norms and attributes, interpreting gender disciplines and exercises in different spaces and career development stages. From a theoretical perspective, this study challenges such notion and reveals that gender cannot be viewed independently from a solely space or single stage. Instead, gender should be viewed as a whole outcome from the process of negotiation between active individuals and multiple social spaces. Furthermore, undoing gender does not happen without the existing sexual regimes. Agency never disappear in doing and undoing gender approach.
