Abstract

This article explores the interconnection between intersectionality and gender performativity. It aims to understand how the interplay between multiple identities based on gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion and sexuality contributes to shaping different forms of gender performativity within the context of Syrians’ displacement in Turkey. The article presents an analysis of interview data collected from 40 Syrian refugee women living in three southeast Turkish border cities: Gaziantep, Mardin and Sanliurfa. The research used the method of personal narrative interviewing to explore changing gender practices in the context of displacement. It is argued that the emerging gender performativity of Syrian refugee women is shaped by the intersecting of their multiple identities; the interconnection between the past and the present experiences of these identities; and the different effects of identity practices over time and place on women’s lived experience and social relations.

摘要

本文探讨了交叉性和性别表演性之间的相互联系。它旨在了解基于性别、国籍、种族、宗教和性取向的多重身份之间的相互作用如何在叙利亚人在土耳其流离失所的背景下塑造不同形式的性别表演。本文分析了从居住在土耳其东南部三个边境城市：加济安泰普、马尔丁和桑尼乌法的 40 名叙利亚难民妇女收集的采访数据。该研究使用个人叙述访谈的方法来探索流离失所背景下不断变化的性别实践。有人认为，叙利亚难民妇女新兴的性别表演是由她们多重身份的交叉所塑造的；这些身份的过去和现在经历之间的相互联系；以及身份实践随着时间和地点对女性生活经历和社会关系的不同影响。
