For those women living in villages within accessible range of Goroka town, it is the norm to sell fresh produce in the Goroka market. Fresh produce trading, or maket in Tok Pisin, is common for women throughout the country. To see men selling food in the Goroka market is significantly less common, and those who do, usually sell foods brought from outside of Goroka. The gender divisions that exist in and around the marketplace today in Goroka are maintained through discourses of emotions and practice, specifically the notion of sem (Tok Pisin: shame, embarrassment). As part of a 12‐month ethnographic research project on gender relations in and around the Goroka market, I spoke with market vendors, amongst others living in and around Goroka, about why men do not market. I also interviewed some of the few men who do sell fresh produce in the market. Based on these men's explanations and those of others with whom I spoke, I suggest that these sellers exhibit aspects of masculinity that are caring for their families, putting shame second, and justifying this by their aspirations to transform their and their loved ones’ lives through education and business. These men demonstrate an emergent form of masculinity that both includes and contests aspects of hegemonic masculinity in the Highlands. Whilst selling fresh produce in the marketplace is deemed embarrassing and shameful for the majority of men, those who sell regardless justify doing so by pointing to the importance of providing for their families and loved ones.

羞耻与关怀:Goroka市场中的男子气概

对于那些生活在Goroka镇可及范围内的村庄中的妇女,在Goroka市场上出售新鲜农产品是一种规范。在全国各地,新鲜农产品交易或托克皮辛市场交易很普遍。看到男人在Goroka市场上卖食物的情况明显少见,而那些人通常会卖掉Goroka以外带来的食物。戈罗卡(Goroka)当今和周围市场中存在的性别区分是通过情感和实践的话语(特别是sem概念)来维持的(Tok Pisin:羞愧,尴尬)。作为为期12个月的关于Goroka市场内外性别关系的人种学研究项目的一部分,我与生活在Goroka内外的市场供应商以及其他人进行了交谈,探讨了为什么男人不进行市场营销。我还采访了一些在市场上出售新鲜农产品的人。根据这些人的解释以及我与之交谈的其他人的解释,我建议这些卖方表现出男性气质,这些家庭关爱他们的家人,将羞辱放在第二位,并通过他们改变自己和亲人生活的愿望来证明这一点。教育和商业。这些人表现出一种新兴的男性气质,既包括高地的霸权男性气质,又在其中引起争议。
