type=“main”>这篇文章分析了后穆巴拉克时代埃及出现的非正式青年主导的倡议的驱动因素、动员策略和策略，以应对公共场所对妇女的性暴力日益增长的威胁。调查结果基于对2011年至2013年期间青年领导的反对性别暴力行动的实证研究。所采用的方法是对三项倡议的案例研究，即Bassma（印记）、Shoft Taharosh（HarvestSeen）和Opantish（反性骚扰行动）。2011年1月后起义背景下的非正式青年举措普遍受到批评，因为它们在组织和政治上缺乏可持续性。然而，通过象征性政治的透镜对反对基于性别的暴力的行动主义的审查表明了实验的内在价值及其对公共宣传创新的贡献。本文研究的举措的价值还在于它们的动员力量，这种力量无意中产生了知识、技能和资源的“剧目”，以吸引公民并捕捉他们的想象力。从长远来看，这些惯例可能会促成有组织和持续形式的政治机构的出现。本文认为，交叉施肥的预喻和有争议的政治提供了一个框架，了解时间和空间约束形式的集体政治机构。
type="main"> This article analyses the drivers, mobilizational tactics and manoeuvrings of informal, youth-led initiatives that emerged in post-Mubarak Egypt to counter the growing threat of sexual violence against women in public spaces. The findings are based on empirical research into youth-led activism against gender-based violence during 2011‒2013. The approach adopted is a case study of three initiatives, Bassma (Imprint), Shoft Taharosh (Harassment Seen) and Opantish (Operation Anti Sexual Harassment). Informal youth-based initiatives in the context of the post-January 2011 uprising have generally been criticized for their lack of sustainability, organizationally and politically. However, the examination of activism against gender-based vio-lence through the lens of prefigurative politics shows the inherent value of experimentation and its contribution to innovations in public outreach. The value of the initiatives studied in this article also lies in their mobilizational power which inadvertently produces ‘repertoires’ of knowledge, skills and resources to engage the citizenry and capture their imagination. In the long run, such repertoires may allow for the emergence of organized and sustained forms of political agency. The article suggests that a cross-fertilization of prefigurative and contentious politics offers a framework for understanding temporally- and spatially-bound forms of collective political agency.
