晚清女性服饰改革:女性身体与国家、细节和时尚——从废缠足谈起

晚清服饰改革在晚清女性解放运动中发挥着特殊的作用。在以维新人士为主的精英知识分子的倡导下,废缠足等女性服饰改革被提到了强国保种的高度,但由此带来的另一个后果是人们忽视了女性身体的真实处境。女性身体被隐匿的另一原因是晚清女性服饰繁琐的细节,细节的堆砌淹没了身体。随着服饰改革的推进和细节的被剪除,女性的身体和内心都得到了重新的展示,而在这一过程中,时尚起到了关键性的作用。     

试谈扩展社会学的传统界限

社会学是一种具有"科学"和"人文"双重性格的学科,社会的存在和演化都包含在广义的"自然"的存在和演化之中,人的社会性与生物性互相兼容,互相结合,这是社会学研究的基础。从我的"人"这个中心,一圈圈推出去,就构成了两个"差序格局"。社会学研究的重点不仅仅是人的特殊的一面,还要研究人与自然一般相同的方面,"人"和"自然"、"人"和"人"、"我"和"我"、"心"和"心"等社会学至今还难以直接研究的东西,是我们真正理解中国社会的关键。

Vaseline on the lens, the works?" a British friend asked, in, shall we say, "amused" fashion.It was a Chinese tradition I would come to love; in the West, wedding photos are usually taken only during the ceremony and reception.

民族文化是多元的,具有价值的二重性。民族文化要成为产业经济价值的载体,必须以文化主体的价值为核心。立足对"我者"的使用价值,才会有对"他者"的交换价值。如果缺乏真正的"文化自觉",要保护民族文化是不可能的。

Coupling and Uncoupling Chinese Style

DECADES ago, in the era of the ＂cultural revolution＂ （1966-1976）, love and marriage bore a heavy political burden; the little red book （Quotations of Chairman Mao） was presented in place of a wedding band, or generally served as a token of love and engagement. Imagine how outlandish it seems to young people today to read love letters that pine： ＂I hope you can arrange your work, study and life well, so as to sustain your ideals and revolutionary zeal, and not degrade into an uncouth and lowly person.＂ But such sentiments were typical 40 years ago in decent young men and women, who often delivered revolutionary pep talks instead of whispering ＂sweet nothings.＂
