姓名作为专有名词,显然对日常生活中的个人身份识别非常重要。在本文中,我认为名字和姓氏也需要被确认为“正在做”的词,这在出生时的性别分类和对与性别类别相适应的性别行为的持续管理中很重要。使用美国和英国的个人命名做法的证据,我研究了在生命过程中(例如,在婴儿出生、婚姻和性别认同转变期间)性别命名和性别命名的危机点发生了什么。我展示了名字和姓氏如何有助于性别的具体化行为,同样地,身体是名字和姓氏的性别实践的关键:我们有“性别具体化的命名身份”。无论是规范的和顺从的,实用的,还是创造性的和抵制的,名字和姓氏做法都是产生和复制二元性别类别以及性别认同、差异、等级和不平等的核心。
Names, as proper nouns, are clearly important for the identification of individuals in everyday life. In the present article, I argue that forenames and surnames need also to be recognized as “doing” words, important in the categorization of sex at birth and in the ongoing management of gender conduct appropriate to sex category. Using evidence on personal naming practices in the United States and United Kingdom, I examine what happens at crisis points of sexed and gendered naming in the life course (for example, at the birth of babies, at marriage, and during gender-identity transitions). I show how forenames and surnames help in the embodied doing of gender and, likewise, that bodies are key to gendered practices of forenaming and surnaming: we have “gendered embodied named identities.” Whether normative and compliant, pragmatic, or creative and resistant, forenaming and surnaming practices are revealed as core to the production and reproduction of binary sex categories and to gendered identities, difference, hierarchies, and inequalities.
