Traiettorie postumane per una sociolinguistica di genere

The aim of the study represents an attempt to reinterpreting some sociolinguistic phenomena according to queer and non-binary paradigms. In particular, we want to offer a posthumanist perspective on some sociolinguistics and sociophonetic concepts. This theoretical approach is based on the query, posed by feminist theorists such as Rosi Braidotti, to choose a direction towards the posthuman as a possible mean of escape from the binary system of gender. The posthuman lens will thus be used to reinterpret the relationship between linguistic embodiment, social and biological phonetic constraints, and linguistic performativity for the construction of gender identity. Therefore, the general purpose of the study will be to offer a non-anthropocentric point of view on linguistic facts, reinterpreting the relationship between human and non-human, nature and culture in a profitable way.

本研究旨在依据酷儿（queer）与非二元（non-binary）范式，对若干社会语言学现象开展重新阐释。具体而言，本研究将为部分社会语言学与社会语音学（sociophonetic）概念提供后人类主义（posthumanist）视角。该理论路径借鉴了罗西·布拉多蒂（Rosi Braidotti）等女性主义理论家提出的核心设问：即选择一条通往后人类（posthuman）的方向，以此作为摆脱性别二元体系的可行路径。据此，本研究将借助后人类视角，重新阐释语言具身性（linguistic embodiment）、社会与生物语音制约以及语言述行性（linguistic performativity）之间的关联，以服务于性别身份的建构。因此，本研究的总体目标是为语言事实提供非人类中心主义（non-anthropocentric）视角，以富有成效的方式重新诠释人类与非人类、自然与文化之间的关系。
