“吃素”的性别隐喻:一种拓展的女性主义

Gender Metaphor of “Being a Vegetarian”:An Expanded Feminism

人类饮食实践中的性别差异蕴含着深刻的文化和意识形态内涵,这既是文化建构和符号区分的结果,同时又在文化社会变迁中通过有意识地选择而得到强化。素食生态女性主义理论从生态与食物的角度出发,表达了对建构性压迫体系中被压迫对象的关切,实则是性别隐喻视角下生态问题的社会化。在这一压迫体系内部,风险分配不均衡且呈现出一定的等级性特征。因此,素食生态女性主义理论可以更为积极地回应边缘女性尤其是第三世界女性的困境与诉求,并为女性主义理论与实践的结合指明了一种新的可能性。

The gender differences in people’s diet reflect profound cultural and ideological connotations, which is the result of cultural construction and symbolic distinction and strengthened during the transformation of cultures and societies. Vegetarian ecological feminism reflects the concerns of the oppressed objects from the perspective of ecology and food and is the socialization of ecological issues from the perspective of gender metaphor. Within the oppression system, the distribution of risks is uneven and classified, and therefore, the expanded feminist theory can respond to the demands of women from the Third World and provide guidance for the feminist practices.
