摘要

2010年代,随着社会阶层的转变和女性社会地位的提高,女权主义在中国蓬勃发展。本研究的重点是国家新闻报道中不同社会阶层的女性形象的表现。以中央电视台新闻联播节目《新闻联播》为例,分析了2011年至2020年360位女性形象的视觉表征。研究结果表明,该节目没有反映中国的Tǔ-shaped阶层结构,而是描绘了一个“橄榄形”的伪社会,在这个伪社会中,我们称之为“中间”阶层的妇女占了最大的比例,她们是多面角色的榜样,“突出”阶层的妇女是社会经济发展的风向标,而“普通”阶层的妇女没有参与社会发展。节目的意象也为家务创造了双重标准:上层女性被描绘为从家庭主妇的社会角色中解脱出来,突破了职业生涯的“玻璃天花板”,尽管她们在社会或政治地位上没有实现与男性平等,而普通阶层女性则承受着保守性别价值观的意识形态重组。这一研究为女性在不同阶层中所占比例的巨大差异提供了一个新的视角,这与现实社会中性别和阶层的地位是不同的。

“Re-stratifying” women: female images in China’s state media from the perspective of social stratification (2011–2020)
In the 2010s, feminism thrived in China amid a transformation in social stratification and a rise in women’s social status. The focus of this study is on the representation of the images of women of various social strata in national news reports. Taking Xinwen Lianbo, a national news program produced by China Central Television, as an example, we analyzed visual representations of 360 female figures from 2011 to 2020. The findings revealed that, rather than reflecting China’s Tǔ-shaped stratification structure, the program depicted an “olive-shaped” pseudo-society in which women of what we term the “middle” stratum constituted the largest portion and served as multifaceted role models, women of the “prominent” stratum served as bellwethers of socioeconomic development, and women of the “ordinary” stratum did not participate in social development. The program’s imagery also created a double standard for domestic duties: Women of the prominent stratum were depicted as disembedded from the social role of housewife and breaking through the career “glass ceiling,” though not achieving equality with men in terms of their positions in society or politics, while women of the ordinary stratum as bearing the ideological reshuffle of conservative gender values. This study suggests a fresh perspective on the great disparities in the representation of women in different strata, which differs from the status of gender and stratum in real society.
