晚清“黄白”种族异视下被贬损、利用甚或改造的身体

The Discriminated,Exploited and Reformed Body in the Eyes of the White and Yellow in Late Qing Dynasty

随着近代中、西接触的频繁,种族间的异视亦愈演愈烈。黄、白种族构建起各自的种族中心主义话语,相互贬损、攻击,身体首当其冲。然而,在"亡国灭种"成为现实的危机下,话语权渐渐转向西方。晚清朝野人士意识到本来就不及白种人的羸弱的国人身体加之陋俗带来的残害,实在有改造之必要。

With the frequent contacts between Chinese and Westerners in late Qing Dynastry,the racial prejudice against each other increased rapidly,among them,the body became the easy target being discriminated and attacked in the respective ethnocentric discourses of the White and Yellow.With the impending reality of being the conquered and at the verge of racial extinction,the discourse balance was shifted to the West.The Chinese elites came to realize that it was high time to reform our body which was weaker than the White and brutally treated by vulgar customs.
