内容简介
······

Written over a span of more than two decades, the essays by Iris Marion Young collected in this volume describe diverse aspects of women's lived body experience in modern Western societies. Drawing on the ideas of several twentieth century continental philosophers—including Simone de Beauvoir, Martin Heidegger, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty—Young constructs rigorous analytic categories for interpreting embodied subjectivity. The essays combine theoretical description of experience with normative evaluation of the unjust constraints on their freedom and opportunity that continue to burden many women.

The lead essay rethinks the purpose of the category of "gender" for feminist theory, after important debates have questioned its usefulness. Young's classic essay, "Throwing Like a Girl," is reprinted here, along with a comment of the impact of that essay twenty years later. Newer essays include reflection on the meaning of being at home, and the need for privacy in old age residences. Other essays analyze aspects of the experience of women and girls that have received little attention even in feminist theory—such as the sexuality of breasts, or menstruation as punctuation in a woman's life story. Young describes the phenomenology of moving in a pregnant body and the tactile pleasures of clothing.

While academically rigorous, the essays are also written with engaging style, incorporating vivid imagery and autobiographical narrative. On Female Body Experience raises issues and takes positions that speak to scholars and students in philosophy, sociology, geography, medicine, nursing, and education.

评论 ······

仿佛也对自身的身体经验进行了一场回顾。讲怀孕那章提到科学设备余留的影响,以及最喜欢的月经那章,想起今天体检女孩们还是需要询问“尿检撞上生理期该怎么办”,冷漠的体检规则到底也是他们设定的,menstruation is always being concealed.

写得很好,有很多启发

想法很不错,把现象学作为描述工具结合后现代/后结构的颠覆性理论以达到即能把握直观体验又能做到社会批判的目标。gender还是得到保留作为一种社会结构的特征,并强调了其在性别分工、异性配对、社会权力结构中的影响 但说是facticity感觉有点过了;实际上区分了三层:普遍知觉身体、性别身体、符号性别。中间一层是关键既依赖生理又被历史文化塑形,而Moi忽略了这一层. 后面几篇的应用点都很好,但总感觉执…
