Sports, Empire and Gender: Women and the Chase in Shanghai, 1860-1945
[Abstract]
Ning Jennifer Chang
PDF
1
This article adopts the idea of informal empire and focuses on women in treaty-port Shanghai. Examining three representative British sports or the so-called “chase” at that time—that is, horse racing, paper hunting, and greyhound racing—this article shows that notwithstanding racial differences, British and Chinese elite women in Shanghai faced similar social constraints and adopted the same strategies. By joining the chase as spectators, prize awarders, horse owners, greyhound owners or even actual hunters, they successfully broke the physical and psychological restrictions that society imposed on them. This article argues China’s treaty ports created a rare fissure for both British and Chinese women. Britain’s rigid class system was temporarily broken and re-organized while China’s traditional social hierarchy was disrupted and re-formed. Exploiting this fissure and using sports as a kind of strategy, elite women managed to emerge from their fathers’ and brothers’ shadows and gain visibility in public life.

Family, Nutrition, and Food: A Discourse on Women and Food Hygiene during the Republican Era
[Abstract]
Kuo-li Pi

Historians have carried out preliminary investigations of the relationship among women, the new domestic economy, and the family. This study further analyzes new knowledge about cooking and the daily food use of women during the period of the Republic of China, focusing on the “hygiene perspective” concerning food based on the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. The analysis follows three basic directions: first, the relationship among women, cooking, and environmental (e.g., kitchen) hygiene; second, new nutrition as daily life knowledge required to be understood by women; and third, knowledge concerning simple Chinese and western dietary therapies and food taboos, since “food hygiene” was not restricted to the content of western nutrition and women also operated in the context of the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. Analysis of new food hygiene knowledge highlights women’s focus on self-health at the time, as well as the life experiences and responsibilities of new women in families. After the popularization and expansion of such knowledge, women seemed to bear heavier responsibilities and play bigger roles in the family. However, they actually also absorbed a lot of knowledge beneficial to their own health, which enabled modern women to understand, care about, and treat their own illnesses to a greater extent, as well as to possess the knowledge and ability to care about the physical health of family members, a positive benefit created by new food knowledge for women.

Becoming A “Female” Soldier: A Study of Xie Bingying’s Military Career Essays
[Abstract]
Chia-hsien Yang
PDF

Xie Bingying (謝冰瑩) was among only few female writers in the Modern Chinese literature who really held a military career. Her first-hand frontline experience was part of her abundant inspiration for writing. As a woman of the new era, she left home and strived for finding her love relationship freely and getting education. She deliberately chose to join the military, which traditionally was considered to be exclusively for male, and took the responsibility of the country or even the people, as a figure of “female solider” in the literary history. The essay is on three books: War Diary (從軍日記) written during Xie’s participation as a regular Nationalist soldier in the Northern Expedition, the New War Diary (新從軍日記) written during her organization of Hunan Women Battlefield Service Corp., and A Woman Soldier’s Own Story(一個女兵的自傳) published between two duties and considered to be somehow autobiographical.
While women join military or engage frontline service, does it mean that the status of the gender is raised? The military is a total institution that is isolated from others. The members in it go through unified, repetitive, and group daily routines, under authoritarian control, prearranged schedules, policy-controlled outfits and bodies, and undergo re-socialization. Hence, a member only could obey and fit in the institution, and there was no exception for female soldiers. Thus, once accepted same training, female soldiers were still thought to only fit for pacification and nursing assignments, not to be fighting on the battleground frontline. The male-personification of military training could not rewrite the gender-division; in the other words, a “female soldier” was an extension into the public sphere from the female’s role in the private sphere, only to make the domestic labors public.
With the strong identification of military image aiming to eliminate enemies, and to save the country, Xie’s autobiographical writing of military career, from the beginning, the biological identity of “female” had been crushed by the self-forging of identity of “solider.” Everything considered as part of “female” identity was eliminated for good under the premise of the “solider” identity fulfillment. The love desiring body and the state loving body were mutually exclusive. At the same time, when a female entered the military, a muscular territory, not only daily life suffered; further, the difference of physical strength and health would have made a “female soldier” even lesser than a conventional sense of “soldier.”
Is having women in the military liberating or under a discipline? After experiencing the complicated matters of being “female” and “soldier,” Xie wished to strip “female” from the “soldier” identity. In fact, whether the “female” character should remain, it depended on if it could be utilized in the war time. Ultimately, she recognized that she was only a “female soldier” which was still different from a “soldier.”

本文探究多重因素及其交織如何有助於開展中國性別史研究的課題與視野，文中參酌華文史學界與漢學界較為忽略的交織性理論(intersectionality)之概念與研究方法，再思傳統中國階層、族群與性別之交會，並強調突出中華文化脈絡的自有交織變項（例如：嫡庶、長幼等倫理階序關係）之重要性，期待以此深掘中國性別史之特性與複雜面向，突破當前「性別因素獨大」的研究困境，促使性別史與主流史學對話，或也可補西方性別理論對中華性別文化認識的不足。
