Abstract

Previous studies of the practice of footbinding in imperial China have theorized that it expressed ethnic identity or that it served an economic function. By analyzing the popularity of footbinding in different places and times, Footbinding as Fashion investigates the claim that early Qing (1644–1911) attempts by Manchu rulers to ban footbinding made it a symbol of anti-Manchu sentiment and Han identity and led to the spread of the practice throughout all levels of society. Detailed case studies of Taiwan, Hebei, and Liaoning provinces exploit rich bodies of previously neglected ethnographic reports, economic surveys, and rare censuses of footbinding to challenge the significance of sedentary female labor and ethnic rivalries as factors leading to the hegemony of the footbinding fashion. The study concludes that, independently of identity politics and economic factors, variations in local status hierarchies and elite culture coupled with status competition and fear of ridicule for not binding girls’ feet best explain how a culturally arbitrary fashion such as footbinding could attain hegemonic status.

Abstract

Bis ins 20. Jahrhundert wurden chinesischen Mädchen die Füße gebunden, um diese möglichst klein zu halten - eine Praxis, die mit Schmerzen, aber auch mit Anerkennung und Hoffnung auf sozialen Aufstieg verbunden war. Externe Beobachter*innen blickten mit Abscheu, Mitleid und exotistischer Faszination auf diese Frauen, gleichzeitig gab es aber immer wieder Vergleiche mit eigenen Moden, vor allem Stöckelschuhen und Korsett.Die Beiträger*innen nähern sich der Praxis des Füßebindens aus kulturwissenschaftlicher, sozialanthropologischer und (medizin-)historischer Perspektive. Sie nehmen die agency der Frauen ernst und fragen nach den Wechselwirkungen von Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmungen.

Abstract

Footbinding was common in China until the early twentieth century, when most Chinese were family farmers. Why did these families bind young girls' feet? And why did footbinding stop? In this groundbreaking work, Laurel Bossen and Hill Gates upend the popular view of footbinding as a status, or even sexual, symbol by showing that it was an undeniably effective way to get even very young girls to sit still and work with their hands. Interviews with 1,800 elderly women, many with bound feet, reveal the reality of girls' hand labor across the North China Plain, Northwest China, and Southwest China. As binding reshaped their feet, mothers disciplined girls to spin, weave, and do other handwork because many village families depended on selling such goods. When factories eliminated the economic value of handwork, footbinding died out. As the last generation of footbound women passes away, Bound Feet, Young Hands presents a data-driven examination of the social and economic aspects of this misunderstood custom.
