中国妇女史:从研究走向学科化

The History of Chinese Women: from Study to the Institutionalized

回顾 2 0世纪中国妇女史发展的历程 ,面对新世纪妇女学蓬勃发展的全球景观 ,如何在本土化与学科化的双重努力中实现自己的目标 ?本文认为 ,2 0世纪初中国妇女史研究的兴起是在现代化的社会和学术语境下展开的 ;80年代中期开始了妇女学背景下的史学关注 ;90年代初期引入了社会性别 (gender)重要的分析范畴 ;同时 ,妇女学的全球视野更要求研究者从普遍认为有效的理念框架、基本概念、研究方法中主动选择并运用于本土研究。面对这一趋势和史学遗产 ,妇女史学者在继承、借鉴、创新以建立本土妇女史学科中 ,应尽快突破理论和研究方法上的多重困惑和挑战 ,开展妇女 -社会性别史的研究和教学活动 ,以进入主流史学并纳入教育主流。

How can localize and institutionalize feminism when it globally flourishes in the new millennium? The author points out that the rising of the study of women's history at the beginning of the twentieth century was in the context that the society and the intellectuals sought for modernity. And in the middle of the eighties a few historians paid attention to women's history. When it came to the beginning of the nineties gender is introduced into China and becomes a crucial category rapidly. At the same time the global perspective of women's studies calls for the researchers to choose positively the suitable theories, categories and methods and apply them into the local study. The scholars of the history of Chinese women should cast off the bondages of theories and methods as soon as and carry on the studying of the history of women-gender and offer courses in order to push it accepted by the mainstream of the history and education.
