This article analyzes the consistent problematic of nonprocreative maternal identity, specifically its positioning in a heteronormative symbolic framework as the antithesis of biological or “real” motherhood. Using Lee Edelman’s work on the queer body’s relationship to a futural horizon, the first part addresses how the epistemological framework whereby nonprocreative maternal bodies are subjected to the image of the Child, a fantasy of wholeness, thematizes the nonprocreative maternal body as deviant and enacts a logic of repetition that supplements a heteronormative future. The second portion of this essay illustrates how, due to the monomaternalist matrix’s refusal to accept it as legitimate, the nonprocreative mother is effectively cast outside the symbolic network of heteronormativity, thereby affording it a heightened level of interconnectivity with other “deviant” bodies.1 This, as the article demonstrates, results in the formation of a maternal assemblage, a collection of disparate bodies connected by contagion, rather than in the reproduction of a heteronormative future. In the concluding section, this essay argues that the nonstratified maternal assemblage produces a queer child, an offspring that does not reorient and supplement the heteronormative structure but instead challenges it by infecting the futural horizon the child inhabits with alterity and difference.

产妇集合:非累进性产妇的传染和抵抗

本文分析了非生产性孕产妇身份的一贯性问题,特别是其在异性规范的符号框架中作为生物学或“真实”母性的对立面的定位。第一部分使用李·爱德曼(Lee Edelman)关于同性恋身体与未来视野的关系的著作,探讨了非生产性母体如何受到儿童形象(整体的幻想)的认识论框架,使非生产性母体异常化并制定了一个法则。重复的逻辑补充了异规范的未来。本文的第二部分说明,由于一夫一妻制的矩阵拒绝接受其合法性,非求助母亲被有效地抛弃在异规范性的符号网络之外,因此,它使其与其他“异常”物体之间的互连性提高了。1,正如本文所证明的那样,这导致了母体组合的形成,是由传染性联系在一起的不同物体的集合,而不是异质规范的未来的再现。 。在结论部分,这篇文章认为,非分层的母体组合会产生一个奇怪的孩子,这个后代不会重新定向和补充异规范的结构,而是通过以异样和差异感染孩子所居住的未来视野来挑战它。
