摘要

My thesis is influenced by such scholars as Lee Edelman, Shane Phelan, and Lauren Berlant, who sit at the intersection of queer theory and citizenship studies, my project undertakes a genealogy of contemporary citizenship subjectivity and practice in the United States. I designate my object "soft citizenship," to separate it from citizenship as defined by the state through civic and electoral practices, and to define a mode of thinking and performing politics characterized by familial-based moralization, child-centricity, sentimentality, and politicized consumption. My use of genealogy is indebted to Michel Foucault and enables a materialist understanding of cultural phenomenon as effects of social forces; for example, my project reveals the process by which the nation began to be imagined through the trope of the heteronormative family, a practice still prevalent today, which reflects the child-centricity and familial-based moralization I attribute to soft citizenship.;Edelman and Berlant, among others, attribute the increased ubiquity of these citizenship characteristics to the rise of the New Right beginning in the late-1960s, but I suggest that classifying this citizenship formation as novel obscures both the historical processes that led to its naturalization and the constellation of variables, economic, cultural, and political, which influenced it's emergence and subsequent development at historical junctures marked by increased symbolic and material strife in US history. I locate the emergence of soft citizenship in the mid-nineteenth century social purity work of white middle-class Protestant women who appropriated public concerns with morality, demonstrated by the popularity of the temperance movement, to create public and political identities for themselves. As I demonstrate, gender, race, and class ideologies, as well as white middle-class women's political disenfranchisement and relative economic empowerment as consumers, influenced the emergence and subsequent development of soft citizenship. The public discourse of morality they forged inaugurated a flexible form that has taken different shapes in the intervening years, but that, as current discourse around marriage equality, family planning, and sex education programs in public schools suggests, has proven both durable and useful.;Cinema censorship is the privileged institutional site of my research since mass culture is a dense transfer point for social values and a historically significant site of social reform agitation. The content moralists demanded censored reflects their moral views on sexuality, including sex acts, family forms, and gender roles; these moral investments reproduced the status quo on race, gender, and class relations, as opposed to providing a substantial critique of social inequalities. The repetition of images and ideas in mass culture, which appeals to a broad audience, naturalizes certain cultural logics and social values.
机译：我的论文受到了古怪理论与公民学研究交汇处的李·爱德曼，谢恩·费兰和劳伦·贝兰特等学者的影响，我的项目承担了美国当代公民主体性和实践的家谱研究。我指定我的对象“软公民身份”，以将其与国家通过公民和选举实践所定义的公民身份分离，并定义一种思维和执行以家庭为基础的道德，以儿童为中心，多愁善感和政治化的政治模式消费。我对族谱的使用应归功于米歇尔·福柯（Michel Foucault），它使唯物主义者能够将文化现象理解为社会力量的影响。例如，我的项目揭示了通过异性规范家庭的幻想开始想象这个国家的过程，这种做法在今天仍然很普遍，反映出我归因于软国籍的以儿童为中心和基于家庭的道德。伯兰特（Berlant）等将这些公民身份特征的普遍存在归因于1960年代后期开始的新权利的兴起，但我建议将这种公民身份分类归类为小说会掩盖导致其入籍的历史过程和星座变量，经济，文化和政治因素，影响了它在美国历史上象征性和物质性冲突加剧的历史关头的出现和随后的发展。我发现在十九世纪中叶白人中产阶级新教妇女的社会纯洁工作中出现了柔和的公民身份，这些妇女以道德操守了公众的关注，由节制运动的盛行证明了这一点，以为自己创造公共和政治身份。正如我所展示的，性别，种族和阶级意识形态，以及中产阶级白人妇女的政治剥夺和作为消费者的相对经济权能，影响了软公民的产生和随后的发展。他们伪造的公共道德话语开创了一种灵活的形式，在随后的几年中采取了不同的形式，但是，正如当前有关婚姻平等，计划生育和公立学校的性教育计划的话语所证明的那样，事实证明这既持久又有用。 ;电影审查是我研究的优先机构网站，因为大众文化是社会价值观的密集转移点，也是社会改革鼓动的重要历史场所。道德主义者要求审查的内容反映了他们对性的道德观念，包括性行为，家庭形式和性别角色；这些道德投资再现了种族，性别和阶级关系的现状，而不是对社会不平等现象进行了实质性的批判。大众文化中图像和思想的重复，吸引了广泛的受众，使某些文化逻辑和社会价值自然化。
