“五四”性别启蒙的策略与困境——以“李超之死”为中心

Strategy and Predicament of Gender Enlightenment in the May Fourth Period

女高师学生李超之死是五四时期重要的文化事件。男性知识分子借此事件的讨论拓展了女性问题的言说空间,并将妇女解放与启蒙话语相结合,使新女性的形象构建成为现代性想象的一部分,显示了男性知识分子在女性问题上的言说策略与主导地位。而五四女性在新思想与旧道德之间依违离合的处境,不仅凸显了个人身份认同与转型时代之间的矛盾,更呈现出五四时期社会性别问题的复杂内涵。

Li Chao＇s death is an important cultural event in May Fourth period. Male intellectuals expanded the comment space for women＇s issues by discussing the event, and combined women＇s liberation with enlightenment discourse to make the image of New Women as a part of modem imagination, showing the male intellectuals＇ speaking strategy and dominant position on women＇s issues. The dilemma between new education and old morality of New Women is not only showing the contradiction of personal identity and transformation era, but also showing the complexity of gender connotation in the May Fourth period.
