《婦友》月刊是國民黨婦女工作會發行的刊物,本文選擇1954年10月到1964年9月出版的120期進行討論。目前研究報刊史,多半著眼文本分析,但如果能對知識生產過程,包括發行單位、編輯群、編輯、審查方式,以及經費來源、流通情形,進行探究,將讓我們對刊物有更全面的認識。因此,本文分成兩部分:一部分是討論《婦友》的生產過程,做為一本政黨的婦女刊物,《婦友》是由哪個單位發行?經費是否充裕?編輯成員的背景何如?是否全是黨工?還有,政黨刊物是否只贈送而不販賣?都值得討論;另一部分則進行文本分析,試圖觀察《婦友》是以何種文類呈現給讀者;並進一步究明以婦女為出發的國民黨刊物,究竟想呈現甚麼?是傳播黨國思想?還是啟發婦女?如果是後者,是否兼顧不同族群?
”Fuyou” monthly (meaning ”women's friends monthly”) was a journal published by the Kuomintang Women's Working Committee. This article examines the one-hundred- twenty volumes of ”Fuyou” published from October 1954 to September 1964. Present studies on journal history mostly focus on textual analysis. But if we investigate the knowledge production process of the journal, including the publishing unit, editorial board, review process, sources of funding, and circulation, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the journal. Therefore, this article is divided into two sections. The first section discusses the production process of ”Fuyou”. As an official women's journal supported by the party-state, what unit sponsored the publishing? Were they well-funded? What was the background of the editorial board members? Did they work for the party? Was the publication (by the part-state, after all) freely distributed or price and sold? All these aspects require further examination. The second section focuses on textual analysis of the journal, focusing on the kinds of literary forms presented to readers and scrutinizing the purpose behind this women-centered Kuomintang journal. Was it used to propagate party-state ideology to women or to awaken women's subjectivities? If it was the latter, did the journal encompass different ethic groups?
