Pleasure is at the heart of ‘nights out’, yet research on the UK’s night-time economy has consistently focussed instead on the risks and harms experienced by particular groups. Where this body of work has met research on young women, the emphasis on the problems of the night-time economy has been especially evident. This paper extends understandings of this subject by making an analysis of young women’s pleasure central. It uses qualitative data to argue that young women’s pleasure in the night-time economy is related to a deep sense of mutuality and, going further, introduces the term ‘opened-out subjectivity’ to characterise this sense of connection. Finally, it shows how this subjectivity helps constitute the appeal of nights out, a new direction in night-time economy research.

“这就是我喜欢的，这就是我需要在这里的”：年轻女性在城市夜间经济中的乐趣


快乐是“夜晚外出”的核心，但对英国夜间经济的研究一直关注特定群体所经历的风险和伤害。当这一系列工作遇到对年轻女性的研究时，对夜间经济问题的重视尤为明显。本文通过对年轻女性的快乐进行分析，扩展了对这一主题的理解。它使用定性数据来论证年轻女性对夜间经济的乐趣与深厚的相互联系感有关，并进一步引入了“开放的主观性”一词来描述这种联系感。最后，它展示了这种主观性如何帮助构成夜间外出的吸引力，这是夜间经济研究的一个新方向。
