对话白露:关于1980年代“妇女研究运动”——由《中国女性主义思想史中的妇女问题》说开去

A Dialogue with Barlow:Feminist Research Movement in the 1980s

本文以1980年代"妇女研究运动"当事人的身份从三个方面回应美国学者白露在新作中提出的问题:(1)运动的起因及其"群众基础"(Popular Foundations),不是思想本身的迎合或续接,而是出自新中国新一代女性的生命体验。这是中国妇女第一次在精神上走出民族/国家和家庭的庇护,自我意识全面觉醒的一个新起点。(2)思想资源和"论争关系"(agonistic relationship),作者肯定了西方女性主义思想的重要影响,在马克思主义思想领地投射了第一缕"女性"的启蒙之光。(3)对"市场女性主义"(Market Feminism)的质疑,从历史背景和启蒙主题两方面否定这一命名,从正面立场肯定"本质论女性主义"的历史价值。

Taking the lead in the Feminist Research Movement in China in the 1980s, the author of this paper responds to issues raised by Tani Barlow in her new book from three aspects： causes and ＂popular foundations＂ of the Movement, ideological resources and ＂agonistic relationship＂, challenges against ＂Market Feminism＂. The au- thor holds that the Movement is not an ideological pandering or continuation, but a life experience of the new gener- ation of women in New China, and a new starting point for them to arouse their consciousness so as to get rid of the patronage of the nation/state and family in the spirit. He affirms the important influence of feminist thought of the West, which has projected the first light of ＂feminist＂ enlightenment into the field of Marxist ideology, then he re- futes the naming from both historical context and enlightenment theme, trying to ascertain the historical value of ＂Essentialist Feminism＂ from a positive stance.
