Ai Xiaoming: A Chinese Woman Intellectual
Autor Jinyan Zengen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 noi 2026
Tracing shifts and overlaps among public intellectuals, academics, citizen intelligentsia, activist-intellectuals, and forbidden intellectuals, it shows how intellectual identity evolves in response to changing political ideologies and degrees of state control. Particular attention is paid to digital technologies as sites of both empowerment and surveillance, and to women’s strategic use of bodies, emotions, and domestic spaces for social action. Ai Xiaoming’s filmic, historical, and activist practices illuminate truth-seeking identities grounded in legal rhetoric, historical writing, and ethical self-making amid repression.
This book is ideal for scholars and students of China studies, gender and feminist studies, intellectual history, media and cultural studies, and social activism.

Recenzii
"This affectionate and provocative biography of Ai Xiaoming, the pathbreaking feminist scholar and documentary filmmaker, is embedded in a broad historical landscape of truth-seeking intellectuals in modern China. Importantly, Zeng’s contribution to intellectual history is deeply informed by her practice and reflexivity as a fellow feminist."
- Zhen Zhang, Professor in the Martin Scorsese Department of Cinema Studies at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, USA
"This timely book focuses on Ai Xiaoming, a professor and feminist activist who has had a great impact on a generation of Chinese feminists, including the author Zeng Jinyan herself. The book explores the life and work of Professor Ai that bridge scholarship, activism and film-making. The book provides new perspectives on gender issues as well China’s complex history and suppressed memories and will be of interest to readers not only in China studies but those who focuses on the role of scholars who maintain a critical voice globally."
- Marina Svensson, Professor of Modern China Studies, Lund University, Sweden
"Zeng Jinyan’s study of feminist scholar Ai Xiaoming’s practice of activism, scholarship and documentary investigation incorporates broader reflections on women intellectuals in 20th century China and globally. The unique positionality of the author as both insider and outsider provides her with poignant insights into the gendered logic of knowledge production."
- Sebastian Veg, Professor of Intellectual History of 20th century China at the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences, Paris, France
"Zeng Jinyan’s monograph offers a rich account of historical and conceptual perspectives on women intellectuals in China. By analysing Ai Xiaoming’s work, experiences and contributions against the backdrop of China’s socio-political transformation, the reader gets to rediscover an intellectual whose thoughts and contributions are as relevant and needed as ever."
- Lisa Eklund, Associate Professor in Sociology, Lund University, Sweden
"Zeng Jinyan’s nuanced, engaged, and deeply sympathetic monograph traces the remarkable journey of Ai Xiaoming—scholar, feminist, filmmaker, and activist. By providing unique insights into Ai’s pioneering documentation of women’s rights, civic participation, and historical injustice, it also brings ttwo leading Chinese feminists into illuminating dialogue."
- Eva Pils, Alexander von Humboldt Chair Professor of Human Rights Law, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany
"Ai Xiaoming’s outstanding contributions to Chinese civic culture as a female public intellectual, historian, and social activist defying persistent persecution finally get the attention they have long deserved as they shine and come into clear focus under the spotlight of Zeng Jinyan’s passionate but also precise analysis."
- Chris Berry, Professor of Film Studies, King’s College London, UK.
"When Zeng Jinyan began her doctoral research on Ai Xiaoming at the University of Hong Kong in 2012, I watched this project take its first steps. Over years she has followed Ai’s life and transformations with unwavering devotion. That long companionship is the quiet foundation of this book — insights earned through years in solidarity with Ai Xiaoming."
