借鉴历史和当代改革叙事,我们强调了保护话语及其儿童性行为概念化的含义和问题。在讨论的改革材料中,儿童的性行为被构建为危险的、社会上不可接受的外部刺激的结果,因此,任何主观性表达的实现都是令人憎恶的,需要成年人的干预。我们的论点是,在这种模式下,性代理是不可想象的,最终是无法实现的。借鉴朱迪思·巴特勒(Judith Butler)最近的工作,我们提出了她的认知理论,作为重新思考儿童性行为的框架。我们认为,前瞻性的认识将帮助我们创造一种文化背景,促进性代理,从而促进儿童的性公民。
Drawing on historical and contemporary reform narratives, we highlight the implications of and problems with the discourse of protection and its conceptualization of childhood sexuality. Within the reform materials discussed, the child's sexuality is constructed as the result of a dangerous and socially unacceptable outside stimulus, and as a result, any realization of subjective sexual expression is rendered abhorrent and in need of adult intervention. It is our contention that sexual agency is unthinkable and ultimately unattainable within this model. Drawing on the recent work of Judith Butler we forward her theory of recognition as a framework for rethinking the sexuality of children. We argue that foregrounding recognition will help us create a cultural context that fosters sexual agency and in so doing promotes the sexual citizenship of children.
