(becoming) an imaginary singular identity of a hypothetically-formed communal body known as "women" Explanation: ....In the same way, "feminism" can be described as transformation as an imaginary singular identity of a hypothetically-formed communal body known as "women." 共同体= a community, a communal society 共同社会= communal society 同一 = sameness, similarity, identity, equality, fairness (Nelson's Japanese Character Dictionary - I chose "identity") 想像上 = imaginary (Nelson's Japanese Character Dictionary) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-05-27 02:08:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or........ being an imaginary single identity of a hypothetically-formed communal body known as "women." |

imaginary identification with the socially constructed gender identity Explanation: I read the same way as Rie-san. 共同性 is not cooperativitiy, it is reffering to women as gender. "Woman/female" is a socially constructed gender identity. This might be a bit of 意訳, but you can play around it. 『想像の共同体』 is the Japanese title of a book by Benedict Anderson ("Imagined Communities"). Since 女性という仮構された共同性 is written in contrast to 国民国家という「想像の共同体」, I would use "imagined" as used by Anderson instead of imaginary. For 同一化, I would use "identification" rather than "assimilation" because the latter is usually used when people of one group assimilate into a different group to become part of it. In that sense, I think "sense of belonging" as you translated is a good one, too. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2010-05-27 16:07:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, "the socially constructed gender identity" should be "a socially constructed gender identity".
