Wang Zheng is Professor of Women’s Studies and History and Associate Scientist of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan.
Finding Women in the State is a provocative hidden history of socialist state feminists maneuvering behind the scenes at the core of the Chinese Communist Party. These women worked to advance gender and class equality in the early People’s Republic and fought to transform sexist norms and practices, all while facing fierce opposition from a male-dominated CCP leadership from the Party Central to the local government. Wang Zheng extends this investigation to the cultural realm, showing how feminists within China’s film industry were working to actively create new cinematic heroines, and how they continued a New Culture anti-patriarchy heritage in socialist film production. This book illuminates not only the different visions of revolutionary transformation but also the dense entanglements among those in the top echelon of the party. Wang discusses the causes for failure of China’s socialist revolution and raises fundamental questions about male dominance in social movements that aim to pursue social justice and equality. This is the first book engendering the PRC high politics and has important theoretical and methodological implications for scholars and students working in gender studies as well China studies.

圖書標籤: 女性 性彆研究 政治學 性彆政治 王政 曆史 海外中國研究 社會性彆研究
共和國時期社會主義(國傢)女權史的發掘,集中在高層視角和文化精英,後期轉嚮話語分析。婦女工作者為婦女解放和男女平等付齣的努力往往伴隨著與masculine state的衝突與妥協。亮點是對高層政治博弈的描寫引齣對毛時期政治中“階級鬥爭”概念濫用的反思。結尾過度美化文革時期“鐵姑娘”這一cultural construct,而關於典型塑造的具體過程語焉不詳,似乎寫這個概念僅僅是為瞭引齣之後對改開初期沉迷“男女有彆、”“女性特質”知識分子的批判。結論部分錶達對現今capitalism和社達的dominance錶達不滿和擔憂,指齣“階級 ”的失語。不過還是更喜歡讀普通農村婦女當乾部、掙工分、織布的故事,這些研究是對本書很好的補充。
評分社會主義女權革命如何在男權陰影之下發生,一方麵是早期婦聯的“隱埋政治”的策略,如何隱匿性彆政綱,並將功勞都歸給黨;另一個視角是電影工業文化生産中的社會主義視覺文化生産,其中新文化主義與社會主義文化之間的矛盾是揮之不去的陰影,也是五四一代知識分子復雜命運背後的深層機製。
評分Well...
評分以國傢女權主義角度展露黨國鐵闆一塊假象下紛雜的社會性彆鬥爭,較散,與老師個人經曆有聯係,等上完課後應該會有更清楚地梳理
評分和後社會主義電影批評學者與改革開放初期男性公共知識分子相對應的,王政代錶的是一種什麼樣的理路呢?我覺得最適閤的還是放置在以高彥頤和蘇成捷的revisionist history範式下來看,在此基礎上來理解這種曆史書寫方式對五四的傳統現代二分和冷戰的民主專製二分的批判。
