9312260 Cohen This project involves the dissertation research of a student in cultural anthropology from Columbia University. The student is studying how Chinese peasants communicate values about gender relations through their linguistic forms of proverbs and folk sayings. The sayings are thought of as representing traditional wisdom and shared folk experience, and are used to sanction behavior. Using household surveys, personal interviews, elicitation of life histories and participant observation as well as archival research, the project will describe how rural Chinese women are changing gender relations in the face of tradition. This research is important because it sheds light on the changing roles of women and men in traditional societies. With changes in employment opportunities, traditional gender roles change all over the world, and this one case study of how the changes are instituted in a traditional society will provide valuable comparative material to understand similar processes in different places. In addition dissertation research increases the scientific capacity of the nation. ***

9312260 Cohen 该项目涉及哥伦比亚大学文化人类学学生的论文研究。 该学生正在研究中国农民如何通过谚语和民间俗语的语言形式来传达有关性别关系的价值观。 这些谚语被认为代表了传统智慧和共同的民间经验，并被用来制裁行为。 该项目将通过入户调查、个人访谈、生活史引出、参与观察以及档案研究，描述中国农村妇女在传统面前如何改变性别关系。 这项研究很重要，因为它揭示了传统社会中女性和男性角色的变化。 随着就业机会的变化，世界各地的传统性别角色都发生了变化，这一关于传统社会如何发生变化的案例研究将为理解不同地方的类似过程提供宝贵的比较材料。 此外，论文研究还提高了国家的科学能力。 ***
