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.

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.

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...

「闺塾师」中有个轶闻让我印象非常深刻:晚明江南有个叫冯云将的公子,一次偶遇看上了小青,便纳为妾侍,但畏惧家中悍妻崔氏,不敢告知;后因觉得妻子并为有所出,便把小青带回了家;不久,冯公子远游,小青被崔氏隔离出冯家,幽禁在西湖边上的别院里,小青只可独怜孤影,自作...

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...

虽然女性研究热潮早过,但如今美国各大学比较文学系仍保留专门的女性研究方向。中国大陆的女性研究似以现当代为多,名正言顺世界影响,似乎中国古代女性两千年都是行尸走肉。这本书理性客观,材料丰富,论述严密,体现社会演化的复杂性,学术功底很厉害,让人感叹理论确实是指...

作為一本批判“五四女性史觀”的經典之作,此書有兩個缺陷,都跟它的subject matter——明清之際的江南文人階級才女——有關:1. 作者提到的江南才女屬於士紳階級,是否status overruling gender才使得她們比一般平民婦女甚至內陸同階層婦女有更多參與文化生活的機會?2. 作者不斷強調明清之交的社會與政治轉型給了江南閨秀拓展女性空間的機會,那麼是不是可以認為明清朝代更替是個特殊情況,本書中的江南才女只是特殊歷史背景下的temporary transgression?結合Matthew Sommer對清代婚姻與性別的法律研究,雍正改革大大延伸了國家對性規範的治理,Ko書中提到的晚明名妓文化也不復存在。兩個缺陷結合起來,本書是否真正推翻了它意圖批判的“五四女性史觀”?

导论和开头几章节非常精彩,融合了多方理论和研究成果。叙事和分析都不弱。偶有逻辑瑕疵,但中心论点没有受到影响。后几章有重复拖沓的感觉。考虑到当时的情况,是一本做出突破性成果的好书。

其实还是夹缝中生存…我非常喜欢高老师对Bourdieu理论的运用,嗯再加上他对cultural capital的论述,实在是太适合写明末清初的女画家们了……
