While athletes must be tough and dedicated to sport, many mothers feel pressured to commit to caregiving. A small but growing body of literature has examined how female athletes negotiate these seemingly conflicting roles of mother and athlete. However, the current literature has predominantly focused on heterosexual, cisgender, White women. In this paper, we examine the subject position of the queer athlete, non-biological mother by drawing on the literature on queer parenthood, motherhood in sport, and discourse analysis. Specifically, we use stories from mainstream media to understand ways that queer athlete, non-biological mothers simultaneously are re/produced within dominant discourses and expand our understanding of motherhood.
虽然运动员必须坚韧不拔,专注于运动,但许多母亲感到有压力要承担照顾责任。有一小部分但不断增长的文献研究了女性运动员如何协调母亲和运动员这两个看似矛盾的角色。然而,目前的文献主要集中在异性恋、顺性别、白人女性身上。在本文中,我们通过引用关于酷儿育儿、运动中的母性以及话语分析的文献,考察了酷儿运动员、非亲生母亲的主体地位。具体来说,我们使用主流媒体的故事来了解酷儿运动员、非亲生母亲如何同时在主流话语中被再现和扩展我们对母性的理解。
