This article explores mothers’ narratives of ‘prepping’ behaviours. Prepping involves the management of stockpiled household items in anticipation of marketplace disruption. In this article, we use anticipated food shortages following the UK’s exit from the EU (‘Brexit’) as our context. Drawing on interview data, we highlight how mothers embed prepping into their ongoing pursuit of intensive motherhood, bound in the highly gendered practice of feeding the family. While adhering to elements of intensive motherhood ideology (their actions are labour intensive/child centred), participants reveal a hidden element to their practice. We introduce the notion of ‘survivalist intensive motherhood’ to understand their actions. Survivalist intensive motherhood departs from earlier intensive motherhood studies due to the largely invisible nature of preparations and the trade-offs made to feed the family during resource scarcity.

(无形)英国退欧准备者中生存主义强化母性的展示

本文探讨了母亲对“准备”行为的叙述。准备工作涉及对储存的家庭用品的管理,以防市场中断。在本文中,我们以英国退出欧盟(“英国脱欧”)后的预期粮食短缺为背景。利用访谈数据,我们强调了母亲如何在不断追求强化母亲的过程中做好准备,并受制于以性别为母的家庭养育方式。在坚持强化母性意识形态的要素(他们的行为是劳动密集型/以儿童为中心)的同时,参与者揭示了其实践的隐藏要素。我们引入“生存主义强化母亲”概念来理解他们的行为。
