In Mozambique, class and gender have long produced sweating bodies entangled in hierarchies of care and labor. Today, the growing popularity of fitness is complicating the cultural politics of bodily substances, especially sweat. Challenging ideals of feminine propriety, new ways of sweating are fostering health-conscious subjectivities and encouraging alternative ways of becoming and relating. As a bodily “thing,” sweat sits somewhat uncomfortably within posthumanist and neomaterialist efforts at decentering the human. But our understanding of matter's potentiality can be refined by an ethnography that apprehends sweat as a material-semiotic thing, one that operates simultaneously as matter and as an index of transformation.

汗流浃背的动作

在莫桑比克，长期以来，阶级和性别导致汗流浃背的身体纠缠在照顾和劳动的等级制度中。今天，健身的日益普及使身体物质的文化政治复杂化，尤其是汗水。挑战女性礼仪的理想，新的出汗方式正在培养具有健康意识的主体性，并鼓励另一种成为和关联的方式。作为一种身体上的“东西”，汗水在后人类主义和新唯物主义试图使人类去中心化的努力中显得有些令人不安。但是我们对物质潜力的理解可以通过将汗水理解为一种物质符号学事物的民族志来完善，一种同时作为物质和转化指标起作用的物质。[汗水人类学，健身，锻炼伦理,身体物质,物质性,符号学,健康意识主体性,排泄,莫桑比克]
