翻译后摘要:本文回应邀请参加女权主义研究的庆祝活动,反映当前的故事,关于“性”和“性别”,发生在女权主义内外。我从作为一个在女权主义研究领域工作了三十多年的人受到反性别攻击的感觉开始。我询问情感的时间性是如何被动员的反性别的倡导者,以证明形式的暴力作为防御形式,并由那些有针对性的反性别动员。特别关注女权主义理论中的反跨性别论点,我重新审视了《为什么故事很重要》(2011)的进步、损失和回归叙事,试图解开并抵制支撑幻想的目的论假设,即“性”和“性别”永远可以处于一种固定的关系中。对这些问题的重新思考也引发了方法论上的问题,即“下一步怎么办?”我试图用一种背诵的形式来回答,这种形式关注的是性别决定论者的多重谱系,而不是该领域内的性别本质主义历史。
Abstract:This article responds to the invitation to participate in Feminist Studies' celebration by reflecting on current stories about 'sex' and 'gender' that take place both within and outside of feminism. I start from how it feels to be subject to anti-gender attacks as someone who has worked within feminist studies for over three decades. I interrogate how affective temporality is mobilised both by anti-gender advocates in order to justify forms of violence as forms of defence, and by those targeted by anti-gender mobilisations. Focusing specifically on anti-trans* arguments within feminist theory, I revisit the progress, loss and return narratives of Why Stories Matter (2011) to try and unpick and resist the teleological assumptions underpinning fantasies that 'sex' and 'gender' were ever and ever could be in a settled relationship. Rethinking these questions also raises methodological ones about 'what next?' that I try to answer with a form of recitation that focuses on the multiple genealogies of a sex determinist rather than sex essentialist history within the field.
