摘　　要：社会文化总是将母亲提炼到“母爱”和“母性”的伦理价值维度中,但是这种话语制度却与日常经验中的作为主体的母亲之间有巨大的差距。如何在普遍的符号表象背后,找寻真实的母亲形象以及具体的生命处境,就成为问题的症结所在。而中国当代女性主义艺术家们则在生为女人又作为母亲的亲身体验中,使得母亲的创造力不仅仅限制在生育孩子方面,而是经由她们性化身体的涵养与持有,用艺术创作的方式,使得陌生而又熟悉的母亲重新以她们自身独特的形象,自在且自为地显现出来。The social and cultural construction of"motherhood"extends beyond the transformation based on women's reproductive capabilities.It also positions mothers as"sacrificial figures",placing them in the role of objects and subjecting them to both the praise and neglect of civilized discourse."Maternal love"and"maternity"are not merely life instincts but constitute the authentic situation of every living mother.Contemporary Chinese feminist artists do not dwell on the hardships of these situations;instead,they actively seek out unique and living mother through specific artistic endeavors,thereby presenting the real images of mother.Specifically,contemporary Chinese feminist art revisits the origins of the maternal image,particularly in the pregnancy activities.Here,the phenomenon of pregnancy for mothers is not portrayed as the ease and beauty often depicted in mainstream media.Instead,feminist artists,through their own experiences of pregnancy,directly confront every pain,depression,fear,and excitement,thus confirming their current selves amidst the uncertainties of self-alter.Simultaneously,the spatial schema of mother is also reversed in the individual experiences of feminist artists.Mothers are not rootless wanderers",instead,they enjoy the movement in their own space,emphasizing the rich connotations of"mother as the space".In fact,the societal role of motherhood not only constrains maternal creativity but also results in long-standing deficits in mother-daughter relationships.Unable to uncover the inter-subjectivity relationship between mother and daughter through conventional modes of discourse,contemporary Chinese feminist artists turn to their own bodily postures and movements to render these relationships intelligible.It is precisely in the unreserved confrontation of flesh with flesh that they can finally embrace the sexualized bodies of each other,empathize with one another,listen to each other's narratives,and perceive each other's essence,and present diverse and distinct images of mother in a liberated pr
