本文关注农业劳动中的性别体现，特别是女性的性别认同与工作中的身体之间的联系。着重于身体如何与劳动工具发生关系，确定了四个过程，通过这些过程，女性的身体、劳动和机械相互融合并赋予彼此意义。在第一类中，妇女的具体能力与机器的素质相结合，这与男子的情况大致相同。第二个展示了女性如何努力维护自己的身体作为女性的定义，尽管她们操作机器。第三个过程表明，当机器工作被纳入农村妇女在农场的传统工作时，妇女身体的定义和拖拉机都没有改变。最后，当妇女不把操作机器作为其工作的一部分时，传统的带有性别色彩的、具体的农业工作概念就得以维持。分析表明，工作和具身自我的意义之间没有一对一的关系，并强调了机器和女性之间复杂而具有讽刺意味的关系。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper is concerned with gendered embodiment of agricultural work, particularly the connection between women's gender identity and the body at work, Focussing on how the body enters into relations with the tools of work, four processes are identified by which women's bodies, work and machinery are incorporated into each other and give each other meaning. In the first category women's embodied competences are merged with the qualities of machinery much the same way as men. The second shows how women work to uphold a definition of their bodies as feminine despite the fact that they operate machinery. The third process shows that when machine work is incorporated into farm women's traditional work on the farm, neither the definition of women's bodies nor the tractor change. Finally, when women do not operate machinery as part of their work, the traditional conception of gendered, embodied farm work is maintained. The analysis establishes that there is no one to one relationship between work and the meaning of the embodied self, and highlights the complex and ironic relationship between machinery and femininities.
