中國大陸女性搖滾音樂人之「不可見」和「不可說」？

Are Chinese Women Rock Musicians ＂Invisible＂ and ＂Unspeakable＂?

流行音樂工業生產長期以來是性別化的分工，男性從事技術性的創作，女性是歌手。筆者認為搖滾為女性展現更加全面的音樂創作能力，打破這種性別分工提供了一個重要出口。搖滾樂追求獨立自主的音樂「原創」精神，不斷召喚和鼓勵著女性成為「自主」音樂人，享有更多創作上的能動性。然而，國內現有文獻中肯定和挖掘女性全面音樂能力的文字並「不可見」，同時女性音樂人拒絕西方女性主義標籤，群體內部混沌異質的經驗讓她們的性別自覺顯得「不可說」。對此，本文梳理了國內外同類課題的研究現狀，結合現有的田野調查和資料收集，提出應該脈絡化和歷史化處理中國女性搖滾樂人的音樂「自主性」研究。 The popular music industry has long experienced the gendered division of labor, that is, women singing songs written and produced by men. This article intends to show how women rock musicians could offer an alternative voice to this issue. Since the autonomous creativity/musicianship is an important cultural currency of rock music, female rock musicians are likely to be endowed with more freedom in music production. However, the representations of female musical craftsmanship are hardly seen in Chinese music critiques, and the feminist stories of women rock heroines are still hard to tell. This article starts with the literature review of this field, and proposes that the study of Chinese women rock musicians' presence and agency should be historicized and contextualized.
