Abstract:A combination of ethnographic research and close reading reveals that the traditional dances of contemporary Tajikistan are built upon a contradictory logic of gender performance. Professional dancers perform Tajik femininity envisioned as passiveness, youthfulness, and innocent pastoralism, even while women dancers suffer significant social stigma as a result of their public performances. This reveals a deeper contradiction between the Tajik national identity as currently constructed and cultural ideas about gender and modernity.

性别怀旧：塔吉克传统舞蹈与民族主义逻辑

摘要：民族志研究与细读相结合，表明当代塔吉克斯坦的传统舞蹈建立在性别表演的矛盾逻辑之上。职业舞者表演的塔吉克女性气质被认为是被动、年轻和天真的田园风格，而女舞者则因公开表演而遭受严重的社会耻辱。这揭示了当前构建的塔吉克民族认同与关于性别和现代性的文化观念之间更深层次的矛盾。
