当代中国妇女与社会性别史研究述评

A Review of Researches into Contemporary Chinese Women and History of Social Gender

妇女史研究在当代中国的兴起,可以追溯到上世纪80年代末到90年代初,但将研究与学科建设结合在一起并自觉推动其在中国大陆的发展应该是世纪之交的2000年前后。一方面借助国外课题或项目基金,通过读书班和研讨会的形式介绍西方女权主义的思想和理论,聚集妇女史研究的力量,拓展研究的视野、思路和范围;另一方面针对妇女史研究的现状,以及在借用"他山之石"过程中出现的具体问题,着力对西方女权主义理论进行本土化的改造与创新;同时,根据中国妇女历史发展的特点,总结、提炼、挖掘具有中国特色的妇女史研究理论和方法,以寻求与世界妇女史研究对话的资本。

The rise of researches into women history in China dates back to the end of 1980 s and the beginning of 1990 s,but the combination of research and discipline construction and the conscious promotion of its development in China's Mainland occur at the turn of the century. On one hand,researchers have introduced theories and thinkings concerning feminism in the west through international research projects or funds and seminars to accumulate the strength to research into women history and widen the scope of research. On the other hand,researchers are engaged in the localization and innovation of western feminist theories according to the current researches on women history and the problems in borrowing the theories from the west. At the same time,based on the developmental features of Chinese women history,they have summarized,extracted and explored the theories and methods of researches into women history with Chinese characteristics so as to be qualified to communicate with researchers of world women history.
