去蔽与平衡——评杨联芬《浪漫的中国:性别视角下激进主义思潮与文学(1890-1940)》

Uncovering and Balancing:A Book Review of Yang Lianfen's Romantic China:Radical Trends and Literature from a Gender Perspective(1890-1940)

文章以杨联芬新作《浪漫的中国:性别视角下激进主义思潮与文学(1890-1940)》为讨论对象,重点以其中包含的女性解放内容为论述中心。该书性别视角的介入使得现代化进程中被遮蔽的无声的、弱势群体得以呈现。对被忽略的爱伦凯"母性论"的重新发掘是该书另一大特色,作者受"母性论"和关怀伦理的影响重提"贤妻良母",是基于历史情境的纠偏的、策略的表达,并进一步对中国现代性进行了反思。

This article takes Yang Lianfen＇s new book, Romantic China：Radical Trends and Literature from a Gender Perspective （1890- 1940 ）, as the subject of discussion, focusing on its key aspect of women＇s liberation.
