為什麼女性詩學？──評論轉型視野下的當代女性詩學

Why Women's Studies?: Critical Analysis on Contemporary Women's Studies under Transformation

「女性詩學」在臺灣並非是什麼新鮮的學術詞彙。不過，本文認為：帶有「製作」(to make)意涵的所謂「女性詩學」，其本身就是一個被創造出來的故事(narrative)或敘事詩(a narrative poem)。本文還主張，女性詩學就跟所有的女性主義批評一樣，本質上就是一種政治行為。它強調的是如何「改變」世界，而非僅僅滿足於「解釋」世界。

Women's studies is not something new in Taiwan. However, this paper argues that: the so-called ''Women's Studies'' is itself a narrative poetry or a s tory in the making. This paper further suggests that women's studies, as same as feminist criticism, is in essence a political act. Women's studies emphasizes how to ''change'' the world, not just merely satisfied with the ''interpretation'' of the world.
