書籍簡介

這本書收錄了Iris Marion Young在20多年的時間裏撰寫的散文，描述了現代西方社會女性身體體驗的不同方面。借鑑波伏娃、海德格爾、伊里加雷、克里斯汀瓦、梅洛-龐蒂-楊等二十世紀大陸哲學家的思想，建構了嚴謹的分析範疇來解釋體現的主體性。這些文章結合了對經驗的理論描述和對她們的自由和機會所受到的不公平的限制的規範評價，這些不公平的限制繼續給許多婦女帶來負擔。

在一些重要的爭論質疑“性別”這一範疇對於女性主義理論的作用之後，本文重新思考了它的目的。其他的文章包括對居家生活的意義和老年住宅對隱私的需要的思考，以及對婦女和女孩經歷的一些方面的分析，這些方面甚至在女權主義理論中也很少受到關注，比如乳房的性行為，或者月經作為女性生活故事中的標點符號。Young描述了在懷孕的身體中運動的現象學和衣服的觸覺樂趣。

雖然學術嚴謹，文章也寫了迷人的風格，結合生動的形象和自傳體敍述。《女性身體體驗》向哲學、社會學、地理學、醫學、護理和教育等領域的學者和學生提出了一些問題和立場。

Written over a span of more than two decades, the essays by Iris Marion Young collected in this volume describe diverse aspects of women's lived body experience in modern Western societies. Drawing on the ideas of several twentieth century continental philosophers—including Simone de Beauvoir, Martin Heidegger, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty—Young constructs rigorous analytic categories for interpreting embodied subjectivity. The essays combine theoretical de*ion of experience with normative evaluation of the unjust constraints on their freedom and opportunity that continue to burden many women.

The lead essay rethinks the purpose of the category of "gender" for feminist theory, after important debates have questioned its usefulness. Other essays include reflection on the meaning of being at home and the need for privacy in old age residences as well as essays that analyze aspects of the experience of women and girls that have received little attention even in feminist theory—such as the sexuality of breasts, or menstruation as punctuation in a woman's life story. Young describes the phenomenology of moving in a pregnant body and the tactile pleasures of clothing.

While academically rigorous, the essays are also written with engaging style, incorporating vivid imagery and autobiographical narrative. On Female Body Experience raises issues and takes positions that speak to scholars and students in philosophy, sociology, geography, medicine, nursing, and education.
