从“情感”角度重观中国妇女史

Re-examin Chinese Women's History from the Perperspective of Emotion

妇女如何感知自身的存在状态?在漫长的男权社会中,中国妇女的主体经验如何建构?妇女史研究能否在经济、政治制度和社会文化之外发现妇女自身的主体经验?通过借用费孝通先生提出的"乡土中国"、"男女有别"等对传统中国社会之特征的表述,在此基础上提出从妇女之"情感"的角度来理解中国妇女的历史,尝试对以上问题作出回答。

How have women perceived their own existence？ In what way have women constructed their own subjectivity during the long years of patriarchal society？ Is it possible for the studies of women history to explore women＇s subjective experiences beyond economical and political contexts or outside social and cultural milieux？ Fei Hsiao-tung has adopted the terminology of ＂Rural China＂ and ＂sexual difference＂ to describe and define the traditional Chinese social structure.These two terms help provide an insight into the studies of Chinese women＇s history,and this article contends for an interpretation of women＇s history from an affective approach.
