前言:
翻越“女”字旁
文/ 林燦文
《說文解字》曰:“始,女之初也。從女,臺聲。”
始、姓、姬、姜、姒、媧
婦、奴、婢、妾、嫁、娶
妄、奸、妒、婊、娼、妓
“女”字旁漢字的字形字義反映中國社會女性地位與文化語境的歷史演變,從女神崇拜到父權宰制,“女”字旁作為社會意識形態的標本,在我們慣常的表達方式中從不缺席。
而在“女權”再次作為運動的今天,文化批評者緊抓這一歷史進行著咬文嚼字與媒體糾察,性別研究者往往一昧強調其中性別不平等的結構性壓迫,而忽視女性作為主體的能動性,召喚著“me too”式的情感連結,流水線式的性故事生產使社會大眾沉溺于某種強大的性受害敘事結構,女性身份在身-心、精神-肉體、生理-文化、個人-社會、父權-女權等諸多二元對立關系之間被來回推搡,而更廣大的女性則被籠罩于消費主義和娛樂工業化制造的“生活方式女權”幻境之中,關于女性問題的研究顯得如此無力,一切討論仿佛進入景觀式的無效循環。
本次展覽試圖在這迷霧中構建出一個真空場域,翻越“女”字偏旁之下,那在人類文明進程中不斷變化的權力(power)、社會性別(gender)和性(sexuality)三者間的相互關系結構,將目光投射于被長期忽略的物質性身體,從而回到更現實的問題中去。展覽以九位青年女性藝術家的具身在場作為切片,觀察在喧囂的權力/政治敘事之下,原生女性意識的生長與日常生活的身體(lived body )在私領域的生存與生產。
“女”字旁之后,不再是被動的被規訓或被消費,一個更經驗性的,積極、輕松、更具力量的女性本體存在將得以現身。
Post - “she”
Lin Canwen
“女” as a radical of a Chinese character radical and echoes the pronoun “she” in English, which reflects the historical evolution of female status and cultural context in Chinese society.From the worship of the goddess to the patriarchal power, the word “女” is used as a specimen of social ideology and is never absent from our usual expressions。
Today, when “feminism” once again became a social movement, cultural critics have seized on this history to conduct slogans and media pickets。 Gender researchers often only emphasize the structural oppression of gender inequality, while ignoring women‘s initiative。
Summoning the emotional connection of “me too”, the production of streamlined sexual stories has caused the public to indulge in a powerful narrative structure of sexual victimization.Female identity is pushed between the two opposites of body-heart, spirit-physical, physiology-culture, individual-society, patriarchal-feminist,And the wider women are shrouded in the “lifestyle feminist” illusion created by the consumerism and entertainment industries.Research on women‘s issues seems so weak, and all discussions seem to enter an ineffective loop of the spectacle。
This exhibition attempts to construct a vacuum field in this fog.Beyond the structure between power, gender, and sexuality that is constantly changing in the course of human civilization,Focus on the material body that has been neglected for a long time and return to more realistic problems.The exhibition is sliced by the presence of nine young female artists.Observing under power/political narrative,The growth of native female consciousness and the survival and production of the lived body。
