In this feminist history of eight centuries of private life in China, Francesca Bray inserts women into the history of technology and adds technology to the history of women. Bray takes issue with the Orientalist image that traditional Chinese women were imprisoned in the inner quarters, deprived of freedom and dignity, and so physically and morally deformed by footbinding and the tyrannies of patriarchy that they were incapable of productive work. She proposes a concept of gynotechnics, a set of everyday technologies that define women's roles, as a creative new way to explore how societies translate moral and social principles into a web of material forms and bodily practices. Bray examines three different aspects of domestic life in China, tracing their developments from 1000 to 1800 A.D. She begins with the shell of domesticity, the house, focusing on how domestic space embodied hierarchies of gender. She follows the shift in the textile industry from domestic production to commercial production. Despite increasing emphasis on women's reproductive roles, she argues, this cannot be reduced to childbearing. Female hierarchies within the family reinforced the power of wives, whose responsibilities included ritual activities and financial management as well as the education of children.
第四章 權力的結構——婦女工作的規範意義 第五章 經濟增長與勞動分工的變化 第六章 婦女的工作與地位 p186 “男耕女織”的規範至少在勞動層麵上錶達齣夫妻之間的分工是互補性的,而非從屬性的關係。然而,宋代至清代,紡織業所發生的復雜變化使婦女大體上淪為織工。她們的技術...
評分如果不考慮戰爭與入侵、自然災害、戲劇性的人口變化和經濟增長,1000-1800年間的中國社會體係呈現齣顯著的連貫性。從宋至清,基本政治秩序的景象與動作本質上持續不變:皇帝通過一個由學者組成的官僚集團統治平民,隨著經濟的商業化程度的增長,商人在人數和財富上嗇,但是,他...
評分p118 書寫文本 在宋代,新的精英階層取代瞭過去構成統治階級的門閥世族。獲得這一新精英階層的成員資格取決於教育,特彆是儒傢經典的知識。儒傢思想強調教育和禮儀對提升個人道德品質的作用,並非常重視治國與齊傢的一貫之道。在東帶,我們看到這一儒傢哲學的再次重構(neo-con...
評分簡單說一下,這本書繁瑣的細節讓我頭痛,但是它所用的人類學和曆史學方法,女性視角和後殖民主義認識論很是厲害。學界評價很高的一本書,不明白為什麼大多數人給瞭三星。 In her cultural study of technology, Bray has two themes. First, she revisits the reproduction of...
評分對於人類學實在缺少瞭解,而如果此書作為一部曆史學著作,未免有幾分不知所雲。且不說那導言似乎並無關於內容,其第一部分和第三部分的大部分也都過於繁雜。對於中國的讀者來說,那裏麵所論述的恐怕很多是來自於常識,而沒有太多學術意義。 “晚期帝國”,這一論斷涵蓋瞭將近一...
"Using technology to elucidate contradictions between different strands of representation or discourse, and show how women were integrated into what is too often still considered to be a male world."中間的很多觀點非常吸引人,比如說將WOMANLY WORK看成女人和STATE之間的直接聯係,而隨著商業化紡織不再是多數女人的工作之後,她們的REPRODUCTIVE ROLE纔被不斷渲染。然而因為太長瞭,中間有些章節有些重復還有些散亂,讀完瞭隻能說太耗腦。
评分brilliant!
