商品描述
This book explores Takamure Itsue's (1894-1964) intellectual odyssey as Japan's most notable pioneer in the study of women's history. When she embarked on a series of scholarly projects that investigated marriage patterns and kinship systems in ancient Japan, it was a response to crisis-ridden modernity. Relentless in her quest to dismantle patriarchy, this "woman from the Land of Fire" (a nickname for her birthplace, Kumamoto Prefecture) locked herself away in 1931 and spent the rest of her life conducting research on female-friendly societies with matrilocal arrangements under kinship-based communal systems. While dissecting the patriarchal norms undergirding the capitalist nation-state, she embraced matricultural paradigms that embodied life-sustaining and life-enhancing values through communal childrearing and matrilineal inheritance. Takamure, a visionary thinker, asked big-picture questions and addressed multifarious issues of contemporary relevance, including beautystandards, human trafficking, gross disparities in wealth, war and imperialism, science and religion, and humanity's relationship with nature.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了高村逸枝(1894-1964)作為日本女性歷史研究最著名的先驅者的智慧歷程。當她開始一系列學術專案,調查古代日本的婚姻模式和親屬系統時,這是對危機四伏的現代性的回應。她在拆解父權體制的追求中毫不妥協,這位來自「火之國」的女性(她的出生地,熊本縣的暱稱)於1931年將自己封閉起來,並在接下來的生命中進行研究,探討在以親屬為基礎的共同體系下,具有母系居住安排的女性友好社會。在剖析支撐資本主義國家體制的父權規範時,她擁抱了體現生命維持和增進價值的母系文化範式,透過共同育兒和母系繼承來實現。高村是一位具前瞻性的思想家,她提出了宏觀的問題,並探討了多樣的當代相關議題,包括美的標準、人類販賣、財富的巨大差異、戰爭與帝國主義、科學與宗教,以及人類與自然的關係。
