Resumo:
The notion of horizontal organization continues to hold resounding appeal for those in pursuit of fairer societies, disillusioned with archaic models of representation. To an extent, overriding enthusiasm for such a model has led to the concept becoming something of a rallying cry for contemporary activists. Yet further reflection on the role of their own discursive practices in its construction can be scarce on the ground. This qualitative interpretive case study therefore asks to what extent symmetrical relations may materialize discursively within an ostensibly horizontal group, by taking a critical look at the narrative and interactional practices of a group of bicycle advocates, guided by a view of gender as performance. This is based on the understanding that the group s claims over the use of public space are intertwined with the struggles of minority groups in civil society more generally. Though numerous social asymmetries may manifest themselves in such a group s discursive practices, the focus here lies on gendered asymmetries. This choice stems from observations gained during fieldwork, as well as those made possible by audio recordings of face to face debates held in Rio de Janeiro. With the aim of zooming in on these traditionally marginalized voices, data selection prioritized narratives told by women protagonists, as part of what is deemed an (auto)ethnographic listen. Microanalysis of these narratives is split into two layers: the first centered on the construction of the narrated world and the second on the interactions which unfold during the narrative world. In order to further comprehend this process, the analysis draws on constructs of narrative practice as a form of resistance, as well as identity as performance. Such practices are conceived of as fertile terrain for the negotiation of social roles and the accumulation of symbolic power. Such locally produced meaning is understood here as part of the geopolitics of gender on a macro scale, at once informed by and informing such structures. Based on this view, we seek to trace the navigation of power dynamics at play between those whose perceived social identities are understood to be organized hierarchically. The analysis indicates that essentialist notions of gender are destabilized by narrators who contest conventional social asymmetries and lay claim to the creation of more symmetrical relationships, both at the level of micro interaction as well as in wider society in which they seek to effect change. Having said that, the extolling of symbolically masculine traits highlights the fine line which must be negotiated in the quest for status while simultaneously avoiding tacit social sanctions in a postfeminist culture. The questioning of these performances, via conarration, suggests that discursive struggles arise over claims for approval and recognition, which may result from conflicting gendered assumptions brought to bear on the interactions. The deployment of multifunctional discursive phenomenon, such as practices of verbal hygiene, code switching and problematization appears to hinder more significant participation in the construction of meaning as well as agenda setting. At the same time, the analysis highlights the fluidity of sociocultural values, which may be subject to renegotiation via the intersubjective practice of second narratives and the (re)negotiation of identity claims bound up with distinct ways of doing politics, between which the participants oscillate. Such insights suggest the activists linguistic action at once reifies and challenges binary notions of gendered social roles, rendering the creation of fairer discursive spaces fraught with discursive contestation, albeit subtle. This study therefore highlights the need to critically examine locally situated interactions in order to obtain a more nuanced understanding of the construction of horizontality. As a result, it may be possible to identify discursive practices which potentially foster the active participation of less privileged groups. This might then enable the very transformative practice sought out by those engaged in social movements.
