《阴道独白》的跨国旅行

Transnational Voyage of the Vagina Monologues

本文运用萨伊德(Edward Said)的"理论旅行"的概念以及巴赫金(Mikhial Bahktin)的狂欢理论,对《阴道独白》这一女性主义的文本从美国到中国又传回美国的跨国旅行和本土化的过程进行了描述和分析,旨在探讨第三世界妇女运动在全球化时代如何与西方的女性主义理论和实践进行对话,从而达成一种从边缘到中心的反向的知识流动(reverse flow of knowledge)。

Borrowing Edward Said＇s idea of ＂travelling theory＂, and Mikhial Bahktin＇s ＂camival theory＂, this article examines the transnafional voyage of the America-born feminist play Vagina Monologues and its localization in Chinese context. Through this study, I intend to investigate the ways in which the Third World women＇s movement makes a dialogue with the western feminist theories and practices, and how a reverse flow of knowledge from the margin to the center is possible.
