| 摘要 | The narrative of China’s women empowerment discourse in Tibet is mostly associated with communist China’s “civilising” trope. Tibetan women’s perceived “disempowerment” within their community is one of the reasons used to promote Tibet’s backwardness and China’s rule in Tibet since the 1950s. Since the 2000s, China’s development campaign in Tibet has consolidated the colonial discourse of women’s "empowerment" where the question of women’s religious agency is ignored, sidelined, and marginalized. This paper counters the China’s discourse of Tibetan women’s empowerment by exclusively discussing the ways in which the women empowerment discourse in Tibet has been attached to the colonial vehicle of progress. It investigates how China’s women empowerment discourse evades the larger question of Tibetan women’s religious agency by particularly discussing the state’s religious policies implemented on Serthar Larung Gar and Yachen Gar in recent years. By discussing and making sense of Tibetan nuns’ empowerment and agency in Tibet today, this paper examines how religious policy and state intervention in Larung Gar and Yachen Gar creates disempowerment for Tibetan nuns while simultaneously creating a disjointed and colonial narrative on Tibetan women’s status in Tibet. |
