Tani E. Barlow illustrates the theories and conceptual categories that Enlightenment Chinese intellectuals have developed to describe the collectivity of women. Demonstrating how generations of these theorists have engaged with international debates over eugenics, gender, sexuality, and the psyche, Barlow argues that as an Enlightenment project, feminist debate in China is at once Chinese and international. She reads social theory, psychoanalytic thought, literary criticism, ethics, and revolutionary political ideologies to illustrate the range and scope of Chinese feminist theory’s preoccupation with the problem of gender inequality. She reveals how, throughout the cataclysms of colonial modernity, revolutionary modernization, and market socialism, prominent Chinese feminists have gathered up the remainders of the past and formed them into social and ethical arguments, categories, and political positions, ceaselessly reshaping progressive Enlightenment sexual liberation theory.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003cbr\u003e Introduction 1 \u003cbr\u003e 1 History and Catachresis 15 \u003cbr\u003e 2 Theorizing “\u003cbr\u003eWomen”\u003cbr\u003e 37\u003cbr\u003e 3 Foundations of Progressive Chinese Feminism 64\u003cbr\u003e 4 Woman and Colonial Modernity in the Early Thought of Ding Ling 127\u003cbr\u003e 5 Women under Maoist Nationalism in the Thought of Ding Ling 190\u003cbr\u003e 6 Socialist Modernization and the Market Feminism of Li Xiaojiang 253\u003cbr\u003e 7 Dai Jinhua, Globalization, and 1990s Poststructuralist Feminism 302\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion 355\u003cbr\u003e Appendix to Chapter 1: Histtoriography and Catachresis 365\u003cbr\u003e Notes 373\u003cbr\u003e Works Cited 443\u003cbr\u003e Index 471\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52739352101144,"sku":"9780822332817","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-question-of-women-in-chinese-feminism-hardback-9780822332817","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
