近年來,傳統性別觀念的回歸和強化成為公眾熱議的話題。浙江L縣的N教會鮮明地提出"女性依附男性"的主張,在當下社會情境中,他們是如何論述自己的正當性的?作為實踐主體的女性又是如何理解、消化這種保守性別教條的?N教會的案例表明了當前以話語等表征形式存在的父權意識形態正在日漸強化——這種"表征的父權",與社會經濟結構、正式性別制度有一定程度的分離,從而使一部分女性既可以迎合父權意識形態,被家庭或親密關系所接納;又在一定程度上擁有自我發展的空間。不過,從結構的角度來看,這種個體自利的短期生存策略強化了"表征性父權"的再生產。

In recent years,the revival of traditional gender relationship has become a hot topic in the public sphere.I will discuss the gender relations in church N at County L,Zhejiang Province,which reinforced the idea that the female are attached to the male.Under current social circumstances,how does the church justify its legitimacy upon gender discrimination,and how do the female converts,as the subject of practices,understand and assimilate these conservative doctrines of gender relations?This paper hereby proposes the concept of representational patriarchy,to describe the features of the current discursive formation of patriarchal ideology.There are discrepancies,to some extent,between this represented ideology in discourses or images,and the social economic structures,which enables women,on one hand,to fit into this patriarchal system constituted by family or intimate relationship;on the other hand,to allow themselves to maintain their own space for individual development.However,this short-term expedient survival strategy strengthens the operation of representational patriarchy in the long run.
