Intersectionality has gained a great deal of academic purchase within the social sciences but there is still a need for further conceptual and methodological innovation and clarity. As such, this study uses paid domestic labour as a case study to apply Billig et al.'s (Ideological dilemmas: A social psychology of everyday thinking, 1988) notion of ideological dilemmas to explore the common sense that paid domestic workers draw on to position themselves as women and workers. The analysis highlights how participants use (often contradictory) themes of common sense when speaking about their place in the household through dilemmas of servitude, belonging, and intimacy. Speakers draw on gendered ideology, not as a fixed set of ideas, but rather as a mobile discursive resource that can be deployed in situ, allowing them to justify, subvert, and evaluate social positions of domestic womanhood. The study provides both a conceptual window and a robust method for studying nonessentialist intersectionality through ideological dilemmas.

利用意识形态困境研究交叉性：有偿家政劳动的案例

交叉性在社会科学领域获得了大量的学术支持，但仍然需要进一步的概念和方法创新和清晰度。因此，本研究使用有偿家政劳动作为案例研究来应用 Billig 等人的（意识形态困境：日常思维的社会心理学，1988）意识形态困境的概念，探讨有偿家政工人利用将自己定位为妇女和工人的常识。分析强调了参与者在谈论他们在家庭中的地位时如何通过奴役、归属和亲密的困境来使用（通常是矛盾的）常识主题。演讲者利用性别意识形态，不是作为一组固定的想法，而是作为可以部署的移动话语资源就地，让她们能够证明、颠覆和评估家庭女性的社会地位。这项研究提供了一个概念窗口和一个稳健的方法，用于通过意识形态困境来研究非本质主义的交叉性。
