Republican Lens: Gender, Visuality, and Experience in the Early Chinese Periodical Press, written by Joan Judge, 2015


Republican Lens: Gender, Visuality, and Experience in the Early Chinese Periodical Press, written...  Republican Lens examines the Funü shibao 婦女時報 (translated as the Women’s Eastern Times), a short-lived bimonthly periodical published between 1911 and 1917. Mischaracterized by later intellectuals as a trivial, frivolous publication, Judge skillfully demonstrates how Funü shibao in fact offers “a rare window onto quotidian gender politics” during an overlooked era in Chinese history (p. 5).

By closely examining the texts, images, and advertisements contained within the journal, Judge aims to rescue Funü shibao from the later New Culture critiques that branded such periodicals as apolitical and historically inconsequential.

Abstract

 Republican Lens examines the Funü shibao 婦女時報 (translated as the Women’s Eastern Times), a short-lived bimonthly periodical published between 1911 and 1917. Mischaracterized by later intellectuals as a trivial, frivolous publication, Judge skillfully demonstrates how Funü shibao in fact offers “a rare window onto quotidian gender politics” during an overlooked era in Chinese history (p. 5). In contrast to the revolutionary discourses that emerged during the two periods that bookended the publication of the journal – the overthrow of the Qing dynasty in 1911 and the beginning of the New Culture Movement in 1915 – Funü shibao was less concerned with the abstract desire for cultural modernity than with the quotidian experiences and everyday knowledge of its readers and contributors. By closely examining the texts, images, and advertisements contained within the journal, Judge aims to rescue Funü shibao from the later New Culture critiques that branded such periodicals as apolitical and historically inconsequential.
Judge begins with a detailed discussion of the materiality of the journal itself, as well as a close look at its editor, Bao Tianxiao 包天笑 (1876–1973). Bao, who is perhaps best known as a “Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly” author, was also a prominent educator and social commentator. By
