家庭权力的性别格局:不平等还是多维度网状分布?

从已有的有关家庭权力研究的成果看,性别平等与否是一个核心议题.首先,家庭权力是一种立体网状分布,其至少存在着婚姻、代际、个人这三个维度,家庭成员角色身份的多样性使得家庭权力领域内部形成多样且重叠/交错的权力空间;其次,由于在权力空间中的集聚点不同,占据的权力领地不同,家庭成员拥有的权力呈现出不同的特征;第三,家庭权力性别分布的变化与整个社会一文化大背景相伴随,具有本地化和受多种机制运作控制的特征,并且由此,即使是女权的扩展,也并不一定就是纯粹的妇女的胜利.研究证实,今天中国家庭权力的性别格局就总体而言,仍呈男强女弱的不平等态势,但在不同维度和权力空间存在着较大的性别差异,而夫妻权力已成为家庭主导性的控制权力.这表明,就实质而言,家庭权力的性别格局应是多维度的网状分布,而不是单维度的性别分布.

Gender Pattern of Family Powers:Inequality Distribution or Multi-dimensional Mesh Distribution

The results of research on existing family powers show gender equality as a core issue.This article considers,first of all,family powers as a three-dimensional mesh distribution,with at least the marriage dimension,the inter-generation dimension,and the individual dimension.Diversity in the roles of family members forms diverse and overlapping/interleaving power spaces within the field of family powers.Secondly,different gathering points in the power space and different power territories,cause different fam...
