the personal is political

"The personal is political"



"One of the first things we discover in these groups is that personal problems are political problems. There are no personal solutions at this time."

--Carol Hanisch's 1969




1960,各類社會運動狂飆的年代,ㄧ批女性主義者率先喊出了這樣的口號。

沒有人是一座島,而不管是生活在何方,我們都逃不出結構與個體之間的辯證關係。

抒情時代,社會科學與革命的詩歌一起怒吼著--即使僅僅是一個隱喻也值得為之而鬥爭。



還不確定今天的革命是否已經落幕,

始終,我們得嘗試辨認出每一種壓迫的結構,

才能確保過往歷史的傷痕能夠不再被複製。

仰望



「我們都處在溝中,但是其中一些人在仰望著天空中的星星。」

(We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.)

                                              


王爾德(1854-1900)
