“Feminism”自产生以来,就是西方学界一个难以界定的术语,在中文语境中也存在误读。回顾以自由、激进、多元为特征的三次女性主义浪潮,对这一概念的认识不断分化和重新组合。从女性主义本体论来看,女性主义的目标是女性在达到自我完善的路途上的“自为”生存,“女性主义”这一译名更贴近“feminism”的本质。 Since its birth, Feminism has become a difficult term for western academics and misunderstood in Chinese context. Recalling the three waves of feminism characterized by freedom, radicalism and pluralism, the understanding of this concept has continuously been divided and regrouped. From the perspective of feminist ontology, the goal of feminism is the “self-being” of females on their way to self-improvement. The translation of “feminism” is closer to the essence of “feminism”.
