Abstract:

Museum is a cultural institution to produceknowledge as well as a cultural field to shape subject.However,knowledge production and subject shaping are restricted by Phallus Centrism.The meaning production of the exhibits is a process of knowledge production of Phallus Centrism.Examination of exhibits,meaning units,schematized aspects,and represented objects may promote the connection between museum research and gender research in the field of aesthetics of literature and art.By revealing Phallus Centrism hidden behind exhibition signs,affirming the cultural value and significance of women-subjected museums,and reconstructing public cultural space as well,enlightenment may be found in the research of the localization of gender research in China.

Key words: exhibits, social gender, phallus centrism, representation, museum
