晚清至五四时期知识分子的性别话语及其社会文化意蕴

The Gender Discourse of Intellectuals and Its Social,Cultural Meaning from Late-Qing Dynasty to the May 4th Movement

本文主要从性别分析视角,通过梳理晚清至五四运动时期精英知识分子关于妇女解放的话语,揭示女性与中国现代性之间的关系,探讨这一时期女性形象如何被不断建构,从而展现性别化了的历史图景。文章认为性别的变化并不只是女性社会地位的变化,从某种意义上说,女性是作为一种文化符码被纳入到了知识分子的话语系统与现代民族国家的建构之中的,民族主义一直是性别表述的主旨,同时,女性形象的变化也与精英知识分子自身的身份认同危机紧密相关,性别变化背后有着丰富复杂的社会文化内涵。

From a gender perspective, this paper reveals the relationship between women and Chinese modernity by studying how the image of women was constructed in this period from late-Qing Dynasty to the May 4th Movement. It aims to analyze the discourse on women＇s movement and to reflect women＇s history from a gender perspective. This paper considers that changes in ＂gender＂ discourse not only mean changes in women＇s social status in words and cultural expressions but also relate to the fact that women entered into the discourse of intellectual discussions and the construction of a modem state. Nationalism has always been a concern in gender discourse. Changes in women＇s image also related to a crisis in identity among elite intellectuals. Any change in ＂gender＂ discourse find roots in cultural processes.
