父权视阈下的女性音乐创作

长久以来,由于没有“伟大的”女性作曲家,女性在音乐史上的地位一直非常低下.自上世纪70年代女性主义音乐批评出现之后,学者对这种看法加以质疑,认为女性作品的风格是社会造成的,而非生理本质决定的.但在父权视阈下,直至今日人们仍摆脱不了这样一种认识:女性可以成为表演家,但不可能成为作曲家；女性没有能力创作大型作品,即使有创作的作品,也是局限于个人情感的表达；女性很少进行结构和技法的创新.

Women’s Music in Patriarchal Society

For a long time,the status of women in music was very low,as there were no so-called "great" female composers.In the 1970s,when feminist music criticism started to appear,scholars who thought that the style of women’s work showed the influence of society and not nature questioned it.In a patriarchal society,it is still difficult to change people’s perception that women may become great singers or instrument players but never composers.The accepted perception is that women are unable to create works of great scope and even if that were possible,that they would be limited to personal expressions of emotion with little structure and technical innovation.
