性别与伦理——重写差异、身体与语言

Gender and Ethics: Rewriting Difference, Bodies and Language

文章以萨特、波伏娃、伊利格瑞和巴特勒有关差异、身体和语言在21世纪的重写为中心,考察性别和伦理之间的契合面,探讨当代女性主义批评所面临的困境和挑战。认为后结构女性主义理论中消解性别差异、甄别身体的物质性、建构语言的主体性是对当代性别理论的伦理式推进,是对最接近人类本真的共有人性的思考。

Reviving the latest debates on sexual difference, the body and subjectivity through the work of Sartre, Beauvoir, Irigaray and Butler, this article seeks to engrave an intersectional facet between gender and ethics to contemplate dilemma and challenges facing feminist critique. It argues that the efforts of post-structural feminists to dissolve gender-based difference, unveil materiality of the body, and to construct the subjectivity of language have contributed to an ethical advancement of contemporary gender theory as well as an understanding of what is closest to share true humanity.
