By investigating how a 1943 legal dispute over an arranged marriage in a Chinese village became a legal and political exemplar as well as a series of cultural products presented on the national stage, this book examines the social and cultural significance of Chinese revolutionary legal practice in the construction of marriage and gender relations. The book seeks a conceptual breakthrough in revisiting the Chinese revolution and its impact on women and society by presenting a Chinese experience that cannot and should not be theorized in the framework of Western discourse. The book takes a cultural historical perspective on how the Chinese revolution and its legal practices produced new discourses, neologisms and cultural symbols that contained China's experience in twentieth-century social movements. It shows how revolutionary practice was sublimated into the concept, 'zizhu' or 'self-determination', an idea that bridged local experiences of revolution and the influence of the world.

读完这本书为了追星厚脸皮参加了丛老师也在场的读书会,受益匪浅。婚姻“自主”一词抓得非常棒,和捧儿故事的不断更迭再塑造的历史线紧密相连,主题一以贯之形成自己的阐释框架。太牛了。

写法非常规整,对“自由”和“自主”的分析很有意思,“自主”不仅从婚姻法领域弥散开来,还与政治性的话语结合起来成为应对西方制裁的一种策略

和王政同样的问题。以论带史,先入为主。而且对于社会主义女权的理解也挺“单向度的”。极其肤浅。
