很小的一本书,内容是作者两次公众演讲的整理。论述结合了西方古典案例和很多现实案例和议题,严肃而不失幽默。我意识到这种文体用英文读起来很流畅,翻译成中文却不容易,很容易流失风格。感觉本书翻译至少做到了准确,已经很不错了。不习惯读论文的人可能要适应一下,可能需...
评分1、掌权的女性总是“看起来像个男人” 时至今日,女性和权力,仍然被看成是一种“并不习以为常”的组合。掌握权力的女性特别容易登上头条、成为话题焦点,而男性掌权在舆论看来则是理所当然的,如无必要,不会特殊关注。不出意外的话,掌握权力的女性多数都会“入乡随俗”,在...
评分 评分 评分[P34] How do I get to belong in the discussion? I am sure it is something some men feel too, but if there’s one thing that bonds women of all backgrounds, of all political colours, in all kinds of business and profession, it is the classic experience of th...
图书标签: 女性主义 女性 女权 英文原版 Gender English 思考 Classics
Why the popular resonance of 'mansplaining' (despite the intense dislike of the term felt by many men)? It hits home for us because it points straight to what it feels like not to be taken seriously: a bit like when I get lectured on Roman history on Twitter.
Britain's best-known classicist Mary Beard, is also a committed and vocal feminist. With wry wit, she revisits the gender agenda and shows how history has treated powerful women. Her examples range from the classical world to the modern day, from Medusa and Athena to Theresa May and Elizabeth Warren. Beard explores the cultural underpinnings of misogyny, considering the public voice of women, our cultural assumptions about women's relationship with power, and how powerful women resist being packaged into a male template.
With personal reflections on her own experiences of the sexism and gendered aggression she has endured online, Mary asks: if women aren't perceived to be within the structures of power, isn't it power that we need to redefine?
From the author of international bestseller SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome.
作者试图从西方经典作品中解读「女性」与「权力」是怎样被分离开,而这一行为又是怎样为男性掌权提供了「合理性」,虽然和我要写的report丝毫没关系,但是我很喜欢她结构女性沉默与女性权力排除的角度。
评分从文学引入女性话语权的问题,简单,清晰。整体语言平实,明澈。
评分买这本书是在Elizabeth Warren的“Nevertheless, she persisted”事件之后。讲的是女性的失声和被剥夺权力——在公共舞台上女性沉默或消失,在公共语境中女性与leadership、authority、power等词格格不入。昨晚坐在餐桌边读这本书,小兔一直吵闹试图让我陪他玩,坐在客厅里的圆律师把小兔叫了过去,训话说:“妈妈在看一本很重要的书,其中很重要的一点就是女性不能被你这样的小狗吵闹而干不了正事,所以你现在跟我呆在一起,不准再过去。”????真是读这本书一个非常可爱的注脚了。
评分3.5星,两篇小文章讲女性和话语权,女性和权力,对我来说都太常识不过的常识了(虽然追溯了一下西方文化的根源蛮有趣可是太短了,分析反而感到很主题先行且粗糙)。而且只是写西方社会从古到今社会现象中的厌女症罢了,最后也没有给出解决方案(后记说会继续思考这个问题和解决方案)。对读过一些左派激进女权小册子的人来说,这本书很不过瘾,不激进也不政治,没有什么新东西。大概我不是这本书的预设读者吧。
评分两篇演讲的讲稿。回溯到西方经典的源头,探寻最初西方社会文化模板的成型,如何至今影响到人们对于女性、公共表达以及权力的想象。非常舒服的行文,清晰明确,有节制,还有幽默感,古典文本与时事新闻中的案例信手拈来,读的很痛快。
