本文接受了Avtar Brah(1999)的邀请,写回她在绘制西伦敦性别化、阶级化和种族化主体性的生产图时提出的问题。它涉及两个主题,一起照亮种族化和性别化的质询和心理社会过程。本文件分为两个主要部分。第一个借鉴经验研究过渡到母亲在东伦敦进行考虑一个母亲的经验,在当地妇产医院分娩。产科病房构成了一个网站,种族化的差异变得突出,导致她构建她的母亲身份,主张她从孟加拉国的母亲和自我种族化,以及“他者”孟加拉国的母亲的差异。本文分析了她的传记可能有助于解释为什么她在妇产医院的经历使她陷入种族定位。第二部分重点分析了媒体对2011年8月英国各城市骚乱的反应。它探讨了一些媒体专家将骚乱和包容种族化的方式,以及英国后殖民国家的方式。本文分析了三套评论,并阐明了他们的方式,种族化的辩论,在本质上的方式,再现主题,在20世纪80年代被确定为“新种族主义”,并分摊责任的骚乱“黑人黑帮文化”。虽然这些媒体声明的重点是种族化,但它们也隐含地涉及性别和社会阶层。本文认为,母亲的自我种族化的理解加深了考虑的种族化的话语,可以唤起(和有争议的)在社会动荡时期。因此,本文借鉴了分层媒体阅读和传记叙事的“记忆的气味”的方法论的一部分,以分析当代种族化的社会心理空间。
This paper takes up Avtar Brah's (1999) invitation to write back to the issues she raises in her mapping of the production of gendered, classed and racialised subjectivities in west London. It addresses two topics that, together, illuminate racialised and gendered interpellation and psychosocial processes. The paper is divided into two main sections. The first draws on empirical research on the transition to motherhood conducted in east London to consider one mother's experience of giving birth in the local maternity hospital. The maternity ward constituted a site where racialised difference became salient, leading her to construct her maternal identity by asserting her difference from Bangladeshi mothers and so self-racialising, as well as ‘othering’ Bangladeshi mothers. The paper analyses the ways in which her biography may help to explain why her experience of the maternity hospital interpellates her into racialised positioning. The second section focuses on media responses to the riots in various English cities in August 2011. It examines the ways in which some media punditry racialised the riots and inclusion in the British postcolonial nation. The paper analyses three sets of commentaries and illuminates the ways in which they racialise the debate in essentialising ways, reproducing themes that were identified in the 1980s as ‘new racism’ and apportioning blame for the riots to ‘black gangster culture’. While these media pronouncements focus on racialisation, they are intersectional in implicitly also invoking gender and social class. The paper argues that the understanding of the mother's self-racialisation is deepened by a consideration of the racialised discourses that can be evoked (and are contested) in periods of social unrest. The paper thus draws on part of the methodology of ‘The Scent of Memory’ in layering media readings and biographical narratives to analyse the contemporary psychosocial space of racialisation.
