“文明”的“持家”:论美国进步主义语境中女性的国家建构实践(5)

http://www.newdu.com 2017-10-17 《外国文学评论》 周铭 参加讨论

    ①“真正女性”标准要求女性拥有“虔诚、贞洁、温顺、持家”这四种美德,在服务男权社会的同时成为社会“文明”的标尺(see Barbara Welter,"The Cult of True Womanhood:1880-1860",in American Quarterly,18:2[1966],pp 151-174)。

    (53)See Sheila Rowbotham,Dreamers of a New Day:Women who Invented the Twentieth Century,pp.5-6.美国中产阶级女性思想传统的一大特征就是一方面与男性主导的社会意识形态保持距离,一方面又积极利用它来确立自己相对于其他群体的独特身份。这不仅在种族层面,在阶级层面亦有体现。如伊丽莎白·郎兰德在分析19世纪维多利亚女性小说时所揭示的,中产阶级女性持家的核心内容就是利用阶级权力管理仆人,塑造等级分明的社会礼仪,进而成为白人中产阶级价值的实际决定人。因此,她们从来就不是既往女性研究所建构的沉默他者和静坐在家的“受害天使”(see Elizabeth Langland,"Nobody's Angels:Domestic Ideology and Middle-Class Women in the Victorian Novel",in PMLA,107:2[1992],pp.291-303)。

    (55)有关酗酒的医学或文化归属之争,详见R.E.Kendell,"Alcoholism:A Medical Or A Political Problem?",in The British Medical Journal,1:6160(Feb.,1979),pp.367-371; Howard F.Stein,"Alcoholism as Metaphor in American Culture:Ritual Desecration as Social Integration",in Ethos,13:3(1985),pp.195-235; Timothy P.Rouse and N.Prabha Unnithan,"Comparative Ideologies and Alcoholism:The Protestant and Proletarian Ethics,in Social Problems",40:2(1993),pp 213-227。

    (57)See Holly Berkley Fletcher,Gender and the American Temperance Movement of the Nineteenth Century,New York:Routledge,2008,p.79; see also Timothy P.Rouse and N.Prabha Unnithan,"Comparative Ideologies and Alcoholism:The Protestant and Proletarian Ethics",p.219.

    (60)See William L O'Neill,"Divorce in the Progressive Era",in American Quarterly,17:2,Part 1(1965),pp.206-207.
    (61)实行多偶制的犹他州也因此像美国南方一样成了共和国的叛徒,直至清除这一现象之后才在1896年被联邦接纳(see Kelly Elizabeth Phipps,"Marriage and Redemption:Mormon Polygamy in the Congressional Imagination,1862-1887",in Virginia Law Review,95:2[2009],pp.445-454)。
    (62)白人女性的卖淫被称为“白人奴隶制”,在美国进步主义时期引起了巨大震动(see Mara L.Keire,"The Vice Trust:A Reinterpretation of the White Slavery Scare in the United States,1907-1917",in Journal of Social History,35:[2001],pp.5-41)。
    (63)See Mary Spongberg,Feminizing Venereal Disease:The Body of the Prostitute in the Nineteenth-Century Medical Discourse,London:McMillan,1997,pp.9-10.
    (64)这个词来自19世纪后期的德国疾病分类学,对象包括流浪汉、罪犯、无政府主义者、革命者、改革者等。它体现了“理性”对女性性欲的彻底否定(see Elizabeth Lunbeck,"'A New Generation of Women':Progressive Psychiatrists and the Hypersexual Female",in Feminist Studies,13:3[1987],p.513,p.515,p.517)。
    (65)这反映了当时“科学”话语的双重标准。医学界对于男性的性行为相当宽容,认为他们必须定期实施性行为而不受道德谴责,因为这是“正常”的生理宣泄需要。关于医学研究对于男女性欲的双重标准以及美国对“性”的看法变化,详见John C.Burnham,"The Progressive Era Revolution in American Attitudes Toward Sex",in The Journal of American History,59:4(1973),pp.885-908。
    (66)See Christopher Diffee,"Sex and the City:The White Slavery Scare and Social Governance in the Progressive Era",in American Quarterly,57:2(2005),pp 411-437; Ann R.Gabbert,"Prostitution and Moral Refonn in the Borderlands:El Paso,1890-1920",in Journal of the History of Sexuality,12:4(2003),pp 589-594.值得注意的一个现象是,当时世界范围内不少国家都将卖淫视为对文明和国家身份的颠覆,而中产阶级则普遍被视为消除这一道德危机的力量(see Keely Stauter-Halsted,"Moral Panic and the Prostitute in Partitioned Poland:Middle-Class Respectability in Defense of the Modem Nation",in Slavic Review,68:3[2009],pp.557-581,William E.French,"Prostitutes and Guardian Angels:Women,Work,and the Family in Porfirian Mexico",in The Hispanic American Historical Review,72:4[1992],pp.529-553)。

    (69)“自由之爱”是波西米亚人反抗婚姻体制的思想,认为缺乏思想交流的家庭只是“功能性”的空壳,这种情况下的通奸是正义的反叛。这一思想到1910年代达到了高峰(see Christine Stansell,American Moderns:Bohemian New York and the Creation of a New Century,New York:Metropolitan Books,2000,p.251,pp.274-278)。
