Abstract

This article tells a story about a French feminist attempt to refi gure universalism in the 1990s in a movement for gender equality in politics that they called parité.1 It is a story that addresses a set of questions much debated by philosophers and psychoanalysts, to say nothing of feminists: What is the relationship between anatomical difference and its symbolic representation? Is sexual difference (understood as a psychic not an anatomical reality) a fi xed or mutable phenomenon? These questions are at the heart of countless theoretical debates and, for many feminists they have required “an obligatory detour via philosophy” (Schor 17). My story, following the hunch of the parité movement as well as my own disciplinary inclination, takes a different route, seeking its insights not so much in philosophy as in history.

九十年代的法国普遍主义

这篇文章讲述了一个法国女权主义者在20世纪90年代试图在政治上的性别平等运动中重新塑造普遍主义的故事，她们称之为parit 1这个故事解决了哲学家和精神分析学家争论不休的一系列问题，更不用说女权主义者了:解剖学差异和它的象征性表现之间的关系是什么?性别差异(被理解为一种精神上的而非解剖学上的现实)是一种固定的还是可变的现象?这些问题是无数理论辩论的核心，对于许多女权主义者来说，他们需要“通过哲学来迂回”(Schor 17)。我的故事，遵循parit运动的直觉以及我自己的学科倾向，走了一条不同的路线，在历史中寻找其见解，而不是在哲学中。

期刊介绍： differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies first appeared in 1989 at the moment of a critical encounter—a head-on collision, one might say—of theories of difference (primarily Continental) and the politics of diversity (primarily American). In the ensuing years, the journal has established a critical forum where the problematic of differences is explored in texts ranging from the literary and the visual to the political and social. differences highlights theoretical debates across the disciplines that address the ways concepts and categories of difference—notably but not exclusively gender—operate within culture.
