Abstract

This research study utilised ethnographic methods to explore the lived experiences of women participating in recreational boxing in a gym in inner-suburban Melbourne, Australia. Women were caught between two narratives; on the one hand women were welcomed into the gym and there was a sense of growing female participation. On the other hand, the gym remained a masculine space in which women existed on the periphery and were required to prove their skills through the lens of male norms and from a position of assumed incompetence. In spite of this, female boxers increased their strength, skills and self-confidence, and perhaps due to their experience overcoming gendered expectations, some women increased their sense of power in relation to men. This study demonstrates the rewarding but precarious nature of female participation in boxing and begins to explore the way gender plays out in this space.

“没有人想成为卡戴珊”:女性参与休闲格斗运动

摘要

这项研究利用人种学方法来探索在澳大利亚墨尔本内郊区的健身房参加休闲拳击的女性的生活经历。女性被夹在两种叙述之间;一方面,女性受到了健身房的欢迎,而且女性参与度越来越高。另一方面,健身房仍然是一个男性空间,女性处于边缘地位,需要通过男性规范的镜头和假设无能的位置来证明自己的技能。尽管如此,女拳击手增强了她们的力量、技能和自信心,也许由于她们克服性别期望的经验,一些女性增强了她们相对于男性的权力感。
