本文以比较方法研究了在墨西哥恰帕斯州和北爱尔兰的冲突时期，边界形成与改变的交互过程。它提供了关于边界、交互性及身份变化研究的新方法。通过观察有关妇女活动的集体身份的叙述，揭示了以下一点，即在民族-国家冲突中，存在着身份变化与整体团结形成的不同阶段之间的相互联系。不同社会阶层对妇女活动的不同感知及那些边界之间的空间决定着那些过程。为了增强对民族-国家冲突的理解，我们需要检视交互身份种类与社会改变的关系，强调在不同社会层面上隐含的、互动的过程，这些过程模糊和否认性别种类的存在。

Beyond the ethno-national divide: intersecting identity transformations during conflict

Melanie Hoewer

This article examines intersecting process of boundary formation and change during periods of conflict in Chiapas and Northern Ireland in a comparative fashion. It Provides new approaches to the studies of boundaries, of intersectionality and of identity change. Looking at female activities’ collective identity narratives reveals the interrelation of different processes of identity change and solidarity formation during ethno-national conflict. Those processes are determined by differences in female activities’ perception of and positioning towards different levels of society and by spaces for bridging those boundaries. In order to enhance our understanding of ethno-national conflict, we need to examine intersecting identity categories in relation to social change and highlight underlying and interacting processes at different levels of society that obscure and deny the existence of the gender category.
