This paper reports on an ethnographic study of gender and sexuality as factors within contemporary Thai factory women's subjectivities. Competing discourses of what it means to be a woman in contemporary Thai society make women's self-presentations fluid and incoherent. Data from participant-observation and open-ended interviews suggest that the fluidity and inconsistency of women's self-presentations reflect both their negative experiences and oppression within the Thai patriarchal system, and women's strength and resistance to the normative discourses that oppress them. By naming or reinterpreting experiences and desires in their own terms, Thai factory women can redraw elements of their own lives.
本文报告了一项关于性别和性取向的人种学研究，这些因素构成了当代泰国工厂女性主体性的一部分。在当代泰国社会中，成为女性意味着什么，存在着相互竞争的观点，这使得女性的自我呈现变得灵活多变且不连贯。参与者观察和开放式访谈的数据表明，女性自我呈现的灵活性和不连贯性既反映了她们在泰国父权制体系内的负面经历和压迫，也反映了她们对压迫她们的规范性话语的力量和反抗。通过用自己的术语来命名或重新解释经历和欲望，泰国工厂女性可以重新描绘自己生活的某些方面。
