缠足/放足:男性话语霸权运作的场域

缠足产生于偏爱小脚的审美话语霸权之下,而放足则在政治话语霸权之下艰难前行,话语霸权在缠足放足的过程中起着关键的作用.在放足或禁止缠足上,男性审美话语霸权没有形成,而急切依赖政府的行政命令,反观缠足却很少有政府的参与,几乎完全由于男性的审美偏好而盛行,封建礼教等只是挟持缠足为己所用而已.不管缠足还是放足,都是积弱的男性话语霸权任意驰骋之场域.

Foot Binding/Releasing:A Field Operated by Male Discourse Hegemony

Foot binding started with the aesthetic discourse hegemony while foot releasing or anti-footbinding trudged forward strenuously under the pressure of politic discourse hegemony.The process of foot binding/ releasing reveals the key role of discourse hegemony.On foot releasing or anti-footbinding,male aesthetic hegemony was not well-developed so they relied excessively on the administrative order of governments while foot binding became in vogue due to man’s aesthetic preference and governments seldom interfered in it.But later the feudal ethics and rites kidnapped foot binding for their own purposes.Foot binding/releasing was arbitrarily operated by the discourse hegemony of accumulatively "soft" men.
