'Doing' Pregnancy Performatively and Discursively in Digital Spaces.

后结构主义女权主义方法强调了从世纪开始对怀孕进行监督的方式。这一领域的研究将怀孕概念化为已经完成的事情，而不是正在进行的事情：人们通过互动学习怀孕。不遵循怀孕的主导话语可能会导致“坏”母亲的标签。虽然这一领域的研究主要集中在公共生活和大众媒体对孕妇的监视，但怀孕越来越多地在网上被谈论、拍照和表演。拟议的研究是一项定性研究，探讨妇女如何通过几个数字空间的在线民族志讨论和执行怀孕：互动讨论论坛和社交媒体。以前的在线怀孕研究已经构建了一个二分法，其中在线空间要么复制并维护对怀孕身体的监视，要么提供重新解释这些规范的空间。使用和扩展Hockin-Boyers et al.的（2020）理论方法，拟议的研究旨在解决这种二分法，强调它无形的孕妇和他们的机构在战略上使用数字技术来执行和讨论怀孕。

Post-structuralist feminist approaches have highlighted the ways pregnancy has been surveilled from the 20th century onwards. This area of study has conceptualised pregnancy as something which is done rather than something that is: people learn to be pregnant through interactions. Not following dominant discourses of pregnancy could lead to a 'bad' mother label. Although this area of study has mostly focussed on the surveillance of pregnant women in public life and popular media, pregnancy has been increasingly talked about,photographed, and performed in online spaces. The proposed research is a qualitative study examining how women discuss and perform pregnancy through an online ethnography of several digital spaces: interactive discussion forums and social media. Previous studies of pregnancy online have constructed a dichotomy wherein online spaces either reproduce and uphold surveillance of pregnant bodies, orprovide spaces to reinterpret these norms. Using and extending Hockin-Boyers et al.'s (2020) theoretical approach, the proposed research seeks to problematise this dichotomy, highlighting that it invisibilises pregnant women and their agency in strategically using digital technologies to perform and discuss pregnancy.
