Connecting Asian Women Artists
CAWA 亚洲女性艺术联结

有别于传统少女漫画中呈现的甜蜜幻梦，她们在泡沫的繁荣与破裂之际，在个体、家庭与社会的夹缝之中，描摹着女性自我意识的微妙变化。正是这种立足个体经验、并持续与社会现实发生关联的创作，使 20 世纪 80 至 90 年代的女性漫画成为理解日本从战后经济繁荣走向 “后泡沫” 时期之社会心理与文化变迁的重要切口。

Departing from the sweet, dreamlike fantasies of conventional shōjo manga, their work traces, at the moment of the bubble economy’s rise and collapse, the subtle reconfigurations of female subjectivity within the interstices of individual life, family, and society. It is precisely this sustained engagement with lived experience, in constant dialogue with social reality, that makes women’s manga of the 1980s and ’90s a vital lens through which to understand the psychological and cultural transformations of Japan from postwar affluence to the post-bubble era.

她们借由虚构的设定和异托邦的场景把现实中的权力结构、技术逻辑与性别政治推到极限，再从裂缝和故障的错位里想象新的可能性。女性身体不再只是被凝视与规训的对象，而是作为能创造能量和情感的主体得以呈现。科幻是一种创作的策略，它帮助女性艺术家们重新书写身体政治，探索身份认同的边界与可能，也拓展了我们关于归属与亲密的想象空间。

Through fictional constructs and heterotopian scenarios, they push power structures, technological logics, and gender politics to their limits, and from the resulting cracks and misalignments, they imagine new possibilities. The female body is no longer merely an object of gaze and discipline—it emerges as a subject capable of generating energy and affect. Science fiction functions as a creative strategy, allowing women artists to rewrite the politics of the body, probe the boundaries of identity, and expand our imagination of intimacy and belonging.
