In recent decades rural South India has witnessed the profound effects of financialization, effects that include growing sexual puritanism, changing kinship patterns, and the redefinition of caste hierarchies. For Dalit women, these transformations have given rise to new forms of debt, sexuality, and sexual‐economic exchanges. Although such exchanges can be compatible with sexual desire and pleasure, Dalit women are nonetheless trapped in new forms of unpayable debt. Their debts, though quantifiable and financial, retain a strong moral component associated with new norms of chastity and monogamy. Far from being mere passive objects of exchange, Dalit women challenge their unpayable debt and struggle to exist both as creditworthy financial subjects and as subjects of desire. In contesting the norms of forced sexuality, these women challenge researchers to rethink the concepts of debt and unpayable debt through the lens of gender and sexuality.

未付债务

近几十年来，南印度农村地区目睹了金融化的深远影响，其中包括日益增加的性教义主义，血统关系的改变以及种姓等级制度的重新定义。对于达利特妇女而言，这些转变带来了新形式的债务，性行为和性经济交流。尽管这种交流可以满足性欲和性快感，但达利特妇女仍陷于新形式的无偿债务中。他们的债务虽然可以量化和具有财务价值，但仍保留了与贞操和一夫一妻制新规范相关的强大道德成分。达利特妇女绝非仅仅是交换的被动对象，他们挑战了他们的无力偿还债务，并努力成为信誉良好的金融主体和欲望的主体。在对抗强迫性行为规范时，这些女性向研究人员提出挑战，要求他们从性别和性的角度重新思考债务和不偿还债务的概念。[债务，未偿还债务，交换，义务，性，性别，女权人类学，金融化，印度]
