This article examines the complex and contested praxis of “doing politics,” both publicly and privately, among female politicians in Senegal. It explores women's political practices comprising myriad gendered performances of femininity, generosity, and hospitality—elements of what I deem the terànga (hospitality) ethos. This article contributes to the existing literature focusing on hospitality and exchange in conversation with theories of gender and political action from an African perspective. Through a contrastive lens, I explore how women in politics not only engage in the practice of terànga as an obligation and performance of gendered norms for doing politics but also as a means of subverting existing limitations for political and personal opportunity.

特兰加的政治:塞内加尔的性别,好客与权力

本文研究了塞内加尔女性政治家中公开和私下“做政治”的复杂而有争议的实践。它探讨了女性的政治实践,包括女性气质,慷慨大度和待客之道的各种性别表现,这些都是我认为的“热情”精神的要素。本文从非洲的角度,对与性别和政治行为理论进行对话的,以待客和交流为重点的现有文献做出了贡献。通过对比的角度,我探索了政治女性如何不仅从事Terànga的实践,作为从事政治工作的性别规范的义务和表现,而且还作为一种手段来颠覆政治和个人机会的现有限制。
