返景入深林:女性社会性别的多元建构——以永宁摩梭人为例

性别研究是当代人类学最具开创性与争议性的领域之一。性别建构反映了不同文化体系对两性分工与社会地位的规范，由此衍生的性别隐喻则体现了不同文化实践与建构的差别。摩梭人对女性性别的多元建构为我们研究女性性别建构提供了一个独特的、难得的个案。本文从空间分类、语言建构、亲属制度、宗教信仰、人观象征的多元视角与多重维度把女性性别建构放在整体文化脉络中了解与把握，将使女性性别建构拥有更大的研究空间。

The Multi-Constructionist Concept of Gender---Taking the Mosuo People in Yongning as an Example

The Mosuo are an ethnic group who live at the juncture of Yunnan and Sichuan provinces in southwest China. The study of gender among the Mosuo has been a hot topic for ethnologists and anthropologists at home and abroad. At different times, scholars have expressed different interests. However, no unanimous conclusion can be drawn from their research findings. Within the different conclusions of the scholars, what comes closest to the truth about Mosuo culture? An open discussionon this question is the intention for writing this article. For a long time, it was widely believed in the field of cultural anthropology that women held a subordinate position in society. However, the construction of gender in Mosuo society might provide us with a unique and precious example of something to the contrary.In addition, gender studies, instead focusing on the issue from a single perspective, should do so from a multi-perpsective angle. This article gives a multi-perspective analysis on the gender relationships in Mosuo society in order to have a clear understanding of the construction of gender for women.
