• W268115387 abstract "Translating Feminisms in China: A Special Issue of Gender and History, edited by Dorothy Ko and Wang Zheng. Maiden: Blackwell Publishing, 2007. viii + 251 pp. £19.99/US$39.95/AU$55.95 (paperback). Traversing the range of in China's long twentieth century, the wideranging essays in this book look at the varied ways that these engage a politics of translation from discourse to local reception (p. 1). The book title aptly encapsulates the contributed essays' examination of varied translations of in the Chinese context at various historical junctures, which illuminates both continuities in contradictory discourses on women and gender relations and transformations in the meanings of in China, especially in relation to China's projects of nationalism and modernity. The book's chapters divide roughly into four periods: late Imperial, Republican, Mao-era and post-Mao. The chapters on late Imperial China by Mizuyo Sudo and Carol Chin examine especially the mediation of notions of women's rights through China's relations with both Japan and the West, with particular tensions existing in the question of the relationship between women's rights and China's quest for national salvation, along with debates over the nature of modernity in Chinese terms. The Republican period also saw a close interrelationship between Chinese feminisms and global discourses, with Yung-chen Chiang studying the women's magazine The Ladies' Journal and concluding that what appeared to be conservative was not Chinese but global and modem (p. 96). In other words, global discourses were a source of ideas, not solely about women's liberation, but also about women's place in a resurgent nation-state, as also evidenced in Yunxiang Gao's chapter on the ideas of jianmei (robust beauty) which emerged out of nationalistic appeals. The subordination of women's liberation to statist appeals continued in the Maoist period, and Kimberley Ens Manning, Gao Xiaoxian and Jin Yihong all examine the post-liberation strategy of liberating women through social labor and the ambivalence which this often engendered. Manning's discussion of Marxist maternalism and Gao's discussion of the Silver Flower Contest in 1950s rural China both assess the ways in which participation in the work force liberated women but also perpetuated the double burden under which they labored; Jin also examines the gender sameness rhetoric of the Iron Girls of the Cultural Revolution period and its retrenchment under reform. Such retrenchment is particularly salient in light of Xueping Zhong's concluding essay which interrogates the trend of body writing in post-Mao Chinese feminism, with a particular focus on Wei Hui's controversial novel Shanghai Baby. The emergence of a feminine identity in reform-era China both revives and transforms pre-liberation debates about the proper role of women and women's liberation in Chinese modernity. Zhong further reflects upon the cultural turn constituted by a literary focus on femininity and sexuality at the expense of attention to socio-economic issues. …" @default.
