周建人与《妇女杂志》的新女性话语建构

ZHOU Jianren and the Construction of the New Femininity Discourse in The Ladies’ Journal

五四新文化运动后,女性权益高涨,以提倡"新贤妻良母"为宗旨的《妇女杂志》遭到舆论猛烈抨击,商务印书馆不得不对编辑作出调整。1921年10月周建人出任"帮同编辑",他与主编章锡琛联手,调整《妇女杂志》办刊宗旨、变革文体和栏目,扩充作者队伍,刊发一系列专号,使《妇女杂志》一跃成为新文化运动后的新女性话语主阵地。周建人以"克士"、"高山"、"乔峰"等笔名,在《妇女杂志》上发表百余篇文章,集中讨论女性独立人格、职业、婚恋自由和新性道德伦理,引领《妇女杂志》妇女问题讨论的潮流,成为名噪一时的妇女问题专家。其直白通俗的语言风格、紧跟社会思潮的敏锐视角及对社会热点女性问题的讨论,为扩大《妇女杂志》读者群体、提升它的社会影响力注入直接助力。

In the pervasive call for women’s rights in China after the May Fourth Movement, The Ladies’ Journal, once advocated the aim to cultivate "new mode of good wife and mother", incurred poignant criticism from the public. As a response, the Commercial Press had to renominate the editor of the magazine. In October 1921, ZHOU Jianren took the position of assisting editor, working together with chief-editor ZHANG Xichen redesigned the publishing aims, reformed the forms of written Chinese, and readjusted the columns, expended the sources of articles, and published a series of special issues. Hence, The Ladies’ Journal became one of the main fields for new femininity discourse after the May Fourth Movement. With the pen names Keshi, Gaoshan, Qiaofeng etc., ZHOU Jianren published more than one hundred of articles and focused his discussions on independent personhood of women, marital freedom, job seeking, and new sexual ethics. He was one of the leading experts on femininity research and led the trends of femininity discussion. Because of his vernacular Chinese expression, sensitive perspective tracing the social ethos, and discussion on social hotspots, ZHOU Jianren contributed to the expending of target audiences and increased the social impact of the magazine.
