Intersectionality has gained a great deal of academic purchase within the social sciences but there is still a need for further conceptual and methodological innovation and clarity. As such, this study uses paid domestic labour as a case study to apply Billig et al.'s (Ideological dilemmas: A social psychology of everyday thinking, 1988) notion of ideological dilemmas to explore the common sense that paid domestic workers draw on to position themselves as women and workers. The analysis highlights how participants use (often contradictory) themes of common sense when speaking about their place in the household through dilemmas of servitude, belonging, and intimacy. Speakers draw on gendered ideology, not as a fixed set of ideas, but rather as a mobile discursive resource that can be deployed in situ, allowing them to justify, subvert, and evaluate social positions of domestic womanhood. The study provides both a conceptual window and a robust method for studying nonessentialist intersectionality through ideological dilemmas.

使用意识形态困境研究交叉性：有偿家政劳动的案例


交叉性在社会科学领域获得了大量学术购买，但仍需要进一步的概念和方法创新和明确性。因此，本研究以有偿家政劳动为案例研究，应用 Billig 等人（意识形态困境：日常思维的社会心理学，1988 年）的意识形态困境概念，以探索有偿家政工人用来将自己定位为女性和工人的常识。该分析强调了参与者在通过奴役、归属感和亲密关系的困境谈论他们在家庭中的位置时如何使用（通常是相互矛盾的）常识主题。演讲者利用性别意识形态，不是作为一套固定的思想，而是作为一种可以就地部署的移动话语资源，使他们能够证明、颠覆和评估家庭女性的社会地位。该研究为通过意识形态困境研究非本质主义交叉性提供了一个概念窗口和一种稳健的方法。
