In this feminist history of eight centuries of private life in China, Francesca Bray inserts women into the history of technology and adds technology to the history of women. Bray takes issue with the Orientalist image that traditional Chinese women were imprisoned in the inner quarters, deprived of freedom and dignity, and so physically and morally deformed by footbinding and the tyrannies of patriarchy that they were incapable of productive work. She proposes a concept of gynotechnics, a set of everyday technologies that define women's roles, as a creative new way to explore how societies translate moral and social principles into a web of material forms and bodily practices. Bray examines three different aspects of domestic life in China, tracing their developments from 1000 to 1800 A.D. She begins with the shell of domesticity, the house, focusing on how domestic space embodied hierarchies of gender. She follows the shift in the textile industry from domestic production to commercial production. Despite increasing emphasis on women's reproductive roles, she argues, this cannot be reduced to childbearing. Female hierarchies within the family reinforced the power of wives, whose responsibilities included ritual activities and financial management as well as the education of children.
白馥兰(Francesca Bray)英国剑桥大学社会人类学博士,研究兴趣集中于农业体系、日常技术、社会性别、医疗与身体等方面,并专攻东亚及东南亚地区。曾居住在马来西亚乡村参加稻田种植。现任美国圣巴巴拉加州大学人类学系教授。其主要著作除本书外,尚有李约瑟主编《中国的科学与文明》之第六卷第二分册(农业)(1984)、《稻米经济:亚洲社会的技术与发展》(1994)、《明代中国的技术与社会,1368—1644年》(2000)。本书于1997年出版后,曾于1999年获美国技术史学会所颁发的德克斯特奖(DxterPrize)。
gynotechnics: 好像只有她用这个term,具体的解释是:a technical system that produces ideas about women and therefore about a gender system and about hierarchical relations in general. 总体而言,从空间、经济、家庭三方面探讨技术与性别的关系,在当时可以算是很新颖了吧。
评分Technology as system, culture, and communication (!). Blew my mind.

评分其实看到很多地方真心觉得作者想多了……

评分p118 书写文本 在宋代,新的精英阶层取代了过去构成统治阶级的门阀世族。获得这一新精英阶层的成员资格取决于教育,特别是儒家经典的知识。儒家思想强调教育和礼仪对提升个人道德品质的作用,并非常重视治国与齐家的一贯之道。在东带,我们看到这一儒家哲学的再次重构(neo-con...

评分p113 女性隔离如何影响女性关于自己的意识? 高彦颐论述道,对于上层妇女而言,隔离提供了自由与尊严:“在明、清时代的家族中,私人领域的最内部是女人的特权。妇女的住处藏在士绅院落中最不显眼的角落,甚至摆脱了家中男性所受的限制。在促进女性自我意识与认同的发展上,这...
评分如果不考虑战争与入侵、自然灾害、戏剧性的人口变化和经济增长,1000-1800年间的中国社会体系呈现出显著的连贯性。从宋至清,基本政治秩序的景象与动作本质上持续不变:皇帝通过一个由学者组成的官僚集团统治平民,随着经济的商业化程度的增长,商人在人数和财富上啬,但是,他...
