The Reserch On Technical Viewpoint Of Feminism

Feminism into the technology research domain and formed certain influence is in the 1980 s, which causes from academic field of technical engineering experience in the fact that women absent reflections.. The experience fact for women performance in the area of technology and civilisation are rare on record and research, the contribution of women in society, few women who are experts and engineers in engineering technology field technical, in fact, Feminist research are seriously raised these confusion and problems, and the back with the answer to these questions are the purport of the feminism research.The awakening of feminist movement have been more than a century of time, it has experienced three times during orgasm,which is brought by the education of women rights, employment rights, political rights, and developing a series of feminist theory. Technology by leaps and bounds also brought feminist focus on technology, the technology of three times to social constructivism and technology for feminist view of technology research and development provides a theoretical basis.In liberal feminist view, equality is the same power between men and women, therefore, they argue that women must be entered the field of men, and reached the standard of men. They think that technology is no part "gender", the focus is on technology in the field of gender inequality. Admitted on the basis of differences in the technical field toward gender equality is a free feminist critique of technology goals and future directions. In cultural feminism view, technology is a type of the entity, bearing the gender culture symbol, in terms of gender culture mumford distinguish the container technology and control technology, Richard Ann eisler distinguish between the "holy grail" of technology and "sword", Morgan distinguishes between acquisition technology and mining technology in the period of the ancient civilization. Technology does exist on "masculine traits" and "feminine" technology. In ecological feminist view, the "gender oppression" and "natural oppression" has internal consistency, they called for the establishment of equality of men and women, the equality of the new relationship between human and nature. They criticize the "ecology" and "male" characteristics, pointed out in the form of pessimism, the inherent logic relation between the development of rendering of femininity, guide "democracy" and "life guide" and "ecological orientation" of technology.In cyber feminist point of view, "cyber," as a keyword of information technology era. Cyber technical development of cyberspace, cyber culture, virtual community which cause the technology in the field of philosophy and sociology of technology become more and more attention. Cyborg is a representative of the image technology, it has broken the human and animal, human and machine, natural and non-physical boundaries. Biological technology and microelectronics technology will completely change the traditional life style and thinking mode. "New technology" in this world, the labor, birth, race, gender, political, national, and even human beings are completely "subversion". These new technologies will strengthen and improve women’s social relations and social status. Liberal feminism, socialist feminism culture, ecological feminism and cyber feminism, from different Angle of view for the technology are discussed in this paper, we should find that each genre theory has its reasonable parts, but also need to further clarify the problem.In terms of epistemology and methodology, feminist critique of technology research of the traditional empiricism epistemology, and stressed that "women experience" in the important position in the technology research. Starting from the "situation" of knowledge, feminists standing in "women’s position" on technology products and technology process are studied. Starting from the "completeness" of knowledge, most of the feminist technology research on the specific research methods, chose the "interdisciplinary research methods". Feminist concept of technology research,on the one hand, enrich the theory of feminism, on the other hand, as to form different from traditional philosophy of technology research, to the technology’s theory on the basis of "the other" reflection, also provides a new perspective for technology philosophy study. In practice, feminist technology research and its propagation can eliminate technology in the field of gender discrimination, through refactoring technology-sex (TGS), social relations is not only beneficial to more women into technology and engineering field, make a unique contribution to technology and engineering practice, and to improve the status of women in society, achieving the true liberation of women has far-reaching significance.
