Queering heterosexualised 'stripping spaces': analysing the subjectification of women within, between and through physical and digital spaces of a woman stripping in the UK.As Agustin notes, "with the academic, media and 'helping' gaze fixed almost exclusively on women who sell sex, the great majority of phenomena that make up the sex industry are ignored," (2005: 619). Notable studies have since been undertaken into physical erotic dance spaces (Pilcher, 2012) and digital sex work (Jones, 2016). I aim to further inform this by analysing how migration, racialisation, (dis)ability, sexuality and other issues affect women's (spatial and temporal) inclusion/exclusion within and between physical and digital stripping spaces.I will explore how women within stereotypically heterosexualised (i.e. women as workers/men as target patrons) physical and digital stripping spaces interact with and negotiate identity inclusions/exclusions. I will use queer theory (Butler, 1990; de Lauretis, 1991; Puar, 2007; Mollow, 2012) to interrogate their subjectification (see Butler, 1997) between digital and physical stripping spaces; among the spaces; and between/among women workers and women patrons. I will investigate if heterosexualised sex work spaces involve queer performance(s) of identity, which is not considered in current literature (Read, 2013).This research aims to better inform public understandings of how women's identity formation is (re)produced in these environments. The proposed project asks:1. How could stereotypically heterosexualised physical and digital spaces of women stripping be analysed in queer terms?2. How do inclusions/exclusions within these stripping spaces influence women's subjectification?3. How are identity borders created and negotiated in, and expanded from, these spaces?4. How does the relationship between stripping and identity differ within and/or between the physical and digital space?I adopt an ethnographic approach to analyse spatially and temporally specific identity (re)production.The first stage will involve 6 months of ethnographic observation of a physical stripping space, and ethnographic observation of an online sex work platform.The second stage will involve photo elicitation by women workers (including non-stripping workers in the physical space) and women patrons in each space to find meaning in their surroundings in response to the research questions.The observations and photo elicitation will help to formulate questions for the next stage of the research: in-depth semi-structured interviews with the participants who partook in the photo elicitation stage. Interviews will be conducted in person with those from the physical space, while interviews with those from the digital space will be conducted online. The questions will be indirect to minimise any compromised responses (Agustin, 2004).I will use thematic analysis to infer from both the ethnographic observations and the transcribed interviews how issues such as (but not limited to) migration, racialisation, (dis)ability, and sexuality affect their (spatial and/or temporal) inclusion/exclusion and identity reification/rejection in these spaces. Throughout the research, I will question my moral reactions (Agustin, 2005) and situate my social position (Haraway, 1988), so that my specific standpoint is not enforced as objective (Harding, 1993).Stripping involves erotic performances of bodies, thus queering heterosexualised stripping spaces informs the reinforcement or rejection of normative somatic and/or symbolic identities in society.

酷儿异性恋化的“脱衣空间”：分析女性在英国脱衣的物理和数字空间内、之间和通过的主体化。正如奥古斯丁所指出的，“随着学术界、媒体和‘帮助’的目光几乎完全集中在卖淫妇女身上，构成性产业的绝大多数现象都被忽视了。”从那以后，人们对物理性爱舞蹈空间（Pilcher, 2012）和数字性工作（Jones, 2016）进行了引人注目的研究。我的目标是通过分析移民、种族化、（残疾）能力、性行为和其他问题如何影响妇女在物理和数字剥离空间内和之间的（空间和时间）包容/排斥来进一步说明这一点。我将探讨女性如何在刻板的异性恋化（即女性作为工人/男性作为目标顾客）的物理和数字剥离空间中与身份包容/排斥进行互动和协商。我将使用酷儿理论（Butler, 1990; de Lauretis, 1991; Puar, 2007; Mollow, 2012）来质疑他们在数字和物理剥离空间之间的主体性（见Butler， 1997）；在空间之间；在女工和女顾客之间。我将调查异性恋化的性工作空间是否涉及酷儿身份的表现，这在当前的文献中没有被考虑（Read, 2013）。这项研究旨在让公众更好地了解女性身份形成是如何在这些环境中（再）产生的。提议的项目要求：1；如何用酷儿术语来分析女性脱衣的物理和数字空间？这些剥离空间中的包容/排斥如何影响女性的主体化？身份边界是如何在这些空间中创造、协商和扩展的？在物理空间和数字空间中，剥离和身份之间的关系有何不同？我采用人种学的方法来分析空间和时间上特定的身份（再）生产。第一阶段将包括对实体脱衣空间进行为期6个月的人种学观察，以及对在线性工作平台进行人种学观察。第二阶段将涉及女工（包括物理空间中的非脱衣工人）和每个空间中的女性顾客的照片提取，以在周围环境中找到意义，以回应研究问题。观察和照片提取将有助于为下一阶段的研究制定问题：与参与照片提取阶段的参与者进行深入的半结构化访谈。对实体空间的采访将进行现场采访，而对数字空间的采访将在网上进行。问题将是间接的，以尽量减少任何妥协的回答（奥古斯丁，2004年）。我将使用主题分析来从民族志观察和转录采访中推断（但不限于）移民、种族化、（残疾）能力和性行为等问题如何影响他们在这些空间中的（空间和/或时间）包容/排斥和身份具体化/拒绝。在整个研究过程中，我会质疑我的道德反应（Agustin, 2005），并定位我的社会地位（Haraway, 1988），这样我的特定立场就不会被当作客观的来执行（Harding, 1993）。脱衣涉及身体的色情表演，因此酷儿异性化的脱衣空间告知了社会中规范的身体和/或象征性身份的强化或拒绝。
