摘要
本文探讨琼.斯科特的论文《社会性别:一个有效的历史分析范畴》的问世对中国历史研究领域的影响,着力勾勒了社会性别分析范畴在中国大陆和欧美的中国历史研究界相互关联而又截然不同的学术发展轨迹。在英语学术界,斯科特的文章标志着重大的概念上的转变,推动此后的研究走出仅限于对妇女的思考,引向对社会性别的关注;走出男女二元对立的思维模式,而作更广阔的对权力关系的探究。斯科特关于文化符号、规范性概念、政治社会体制和主体性身份的重要性的论述,帮助催生和组织了英美中国历史研究界大多数最有影响的新研究成果。虽然"男女"在历史上作为儒家社会组织伦理的重要组成部分被文人学者广泛论述,而当代中国历史学界对社会性别理论和分析方法的关注则在近年来才出现,社会性别史在中国大陆的发展尚处起步阶段。
The article examines the impacts of Joan Scott's article,'Gender,a Useful Category of Historical Analysis' on Chinese historiography in the PRC and Euro-American scholarship.It traces out two distinct but entangled contemporary scholarly formations in which gender as an analytical category has developed.In the English academy Scott's article marked an important conceptual turn that moved scholarly inquiries in the China studies beyond women to gender and beyond a male-female binary to a broader inquiry into relationships of power.Scott's suggestions about the importance of culturally available symbols,normative concepts,politics and social institutions,and subjective identity have stimulated the production of the most influential new scholarship in Chinese history written in English.Although 'nan/nü',an important component part in Confucian ethics for social organization,had been written about extensively by literati in history,contemporary Chinese historians' attention to gender theory and gender analysis did not emerge until very recently.In China's Mainland,gender history is at the beginning stage of an emerging field.
