摘要

性工作的場域多半被簡化描繪成顧客或業者單向剝削性工作者的地方，本文透過對新興鋼管辣妹pub的深度田野觀察，舉例說明色情行業此刻的特殊歷史面貌以及性工作者在其中建立的操作位置，已經超越了過去的僵化想像。我認為現階段以「挑逗」為主要訴求的新興色情行業為了尋求穩定利潤及永續經營，已經趨向現代服務業的服務精神和運作結構，也相應設計了許多有別於傳統性別權力關係的互動模式，並在男強女弱的傳統「性部署」(deployment of sexuality)中發展出高度異質性的實踐，創造了現代性產業的異質空間(heterotopia)。這些新的互動模式和實踐有可能為青少女性工作者提供較大的主體操作空間，並可能重構性工作的含意和結構，更可能間接影響性別敵意與壓迫在一般主體身上的養成過程。

The sites of sex work are often simply described as optimum spaces of one-way exploitation. The present essay, through in-depth field studies of the newly emerged erotic dance pubs of Taiwan, attempts to detail this specific historical formation of the Taiwanese sex industry as well as these new sites of struggle established by sex workers, sites that have transcended the traditional cultural imaginary of victimization associated with sex work. I believe at the present moment the new sex industry that is forming itself on the mode of flirtation is moving toward the practices of modern service industries in order to foster a steady rate of profit and its own continued operation. Such new practices have then in turn forged new models of interaction between the two genders, creating many highly heterogeneous practices within the traditional deployment of sexuality, thus creating numerous heterotopias among today's sex industry. It is stipulated that these new interactive models and practices are likely to create more room and autonomy for teenage girls who are entering the erotic dance industry, reshape the structure and implications of sex work in general, and directly or indirectly modify the gender hostility and gender oppression that have come to shape the socialization of all girls.
