Rejecting popular image and accepted scholarship on the status of women in premodern China, this pathbreaking work argues that literate gentrywomen in seventeenth-century Jiangnan were far from oppressed or silenced. As writers, readers, editors, and teachers, these women created a rich culture and meaningful existence from within the constraints of the male-dominated Confucian system. The author reconstructs the social, emotional, and intellectual worlds of these women from the interstices between ideology, practice, and self-perception. Born out of curiosity about how premodern Chinese women lived, this book proposes a new way to conceptualize China's past. This reconception rests on the premise that by understanding how women lived, we better grasp the dynamics of gender relations and gain a more complete knowledge of the values of Chinese culture, the functioning of Chinese society, and the nature of historical change. The book examines three types of women's communities that developed in this environment: domestic, social, and public. Women from different families, age groups, and social stations were brought together by their shared love of poetry and common concerns as women. Though important at the time, most of these ties proved fragile and transitory because of women's inherently ambivalent position. The author argues that the gender system identified women both by their shared gender, or women-as-same, and by their social station, or women-as-different. This contradiction accorded women freedoms within their own limited spheres, but these spheres were fragmented and often demarcated by the class of male kin. As a result, even the most mobile and articulate of women had noinstitutional means of launching fundamental attacks on the gender system.
Professor Ko’s research interest is the everyday lives of women in China –along with the domestic objects they made by hand–as a significant part of country’s cultural, economic and political development. She works at the intersections of anthropology, history, and women’s studies.
Ko’s recent book, Cinderella Sisters: A Revisionist History of Footbinding, published in 2005, shattered the popular conception of footbinding as a tool to oppress women and demonstrated that it was instead a source of female identity, purpose, pride, and power. It won the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize of the American Historical Association, Recently, she has been turning her attention to the skills of women’s artisans such as embroiderers, stone carvers, and ceramic artists. Her research during spring semester, 2004, as a senior fellow at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center’s Institute for International Research in Nanjing, focused on the importance of ancient art of silk-weaving for a study of the dress-making tradition and domestic work culture in China’s silk industry region. More recently, as a fellow at the Needham Research Institute in Cambridge, England, in spring 2007, she researched ancient swordsmith legends for insights into the relations between bodily investments and transformation of matter.
In addition to Cinderella’s Sisters, Ko has written numerous books and publications, including “Between the Boudoir and the Global Market: Shen Shou, Embroidery and Modernity at the Turn of the Twentieth Century,” in Looking Modern (forthcoming), Every Step a Lotus (2001), and Teachers of the Inner Chambers (1994). She is also co-editor of Women and Confucian Cultures in Pre-modern China, Korea, and Japan.
Ko’s courses include Chinese cultural history, body histories, women and culture in 17th century China, and Confucian cultures.
Ko earned undergraduate and advanced degrees at Stanford University, including the doctorate. She has received a number of fellowships and awards. She was a member of the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study (2000-2001), a fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (2000-2001) and a fellow at the Center for Critical Analysis of Contemporary Culture, Rutgers University (1999-2000). Before joining the Barnard faculty in 2001, Professor Ko taught at Rutgers University.
不煩解釋。
评分我觉得这本书名字译为女先生或者才女什么的是不是更好一点。文章的问题不是简单的男女权力的不平等问题,而是how the gender system sustained in the Ming-Qing period? 比较喜欢的是讲妇女的知识传承和人际关系的展开。而且还把女艺人courtesan和大家闺秀放在同一个情景里讲,她们之间因为文学的交往更加显示gender as social organisation 而非阶级的分野,她们之间因为需要迎合男性的审美而展开的“美丽”竞争也更加固化了gender system.这样的叙述极大突破了以往妇女史以阶级来划分女性,将艺妓作为专门独立的一个章节的做法。
评分文笔秀丽,爬梳扎实,大意义略用力过猛。福柯布迪厄传授新文化/社会史,强调权力秩序在人主体互动过程中展开,文化符号在制度结构上凝聚和再生,反对程式制度化引申权力结构;性别史,强调精英阶层女性利用儒家家族和男权秩序空隙,及借助其话语正当化家务和生殖以外的活动空间,利用教化、诗文联结女性知识网络,婉曲表达独立情感渴求,也必须维护女性作为维持儒家教化、养育后代之责任,仕女与精英妻妾在才气美感上竞争,反对五四以降古中国女性集体禁锢、一无所长之图景(但此图景似仅从国家政治述说与部分作品引出,五四以来新文人和妇女解放界更丰富之话语无分析);更广义明清社会经济史,晚明盛清江南社会经济发展,城市化,知识生产和流通商业化,产生读书公众文化,男/女、士族/平民等身份壁垒被穿透,女性拓展空间之努力搭上社会过程便车。
评分Master year 1 class reading. But I don't think the instructor herself comprehended this material.

第一遍看:这都是什么乱七八糟的 第二遍看:好像有点道理 第三遍看:每句话都有特别的涵义 1、很多人纠结,为什么题目是闺塾师,而写的却不是闺塾师?作者已经在文章中阐述了其中的原因: “所有出现在本书中的女性,无论是妻子、女儿或寡妇,都通过她们的作品,互相讲授着各自...

评分不知是我太挑剔,还是时世人心浮躁,我怎么读这本书,都觉得翻译实在是鸡肋,要是中文书,我铁定是不看的,因是英文译作,强打精神几次都重新再看。 人啊人,术业有专攻,不能更敬业一点莫? 喜欢此书者,从中间随便检一段开始看就好。若是读第一章,会累死,读第二章,会枯...
评分五四對女學的妄斷造成的負面影響並非對過去,而是對未來。如果人們認為“曾經”的女性如此卑弱,那麼“現在”的女性但凡增獲丁點權利,便視之為重大的勝利。而結果卻是,中國女性在百年前後的地位,其實並沒有根本性的變化。這才是五四女學臉譜化的最大惡果。 而從另一...
