安德森与汤普森之争:英国文化马克思主义的走向问题

The Debate between Anderson and Thompson:The Trend of British Cultural Marxism

英国马克思主义的内部争论不仅是历史与结构、主体与客体的争论,更是英国文化马克思主义走向的争论。英国第二代新左派引入欧陆马克思主义,并且批评第一代新左派对文化和历史的分析掩盖了当下英国资本主义社会的结构和意识形态的重要性。这场以安德森和汤普森为首的辩论,最终并没有使安德森化解自己在欧洲共产主义与经典马克思主义之间的矛盾和困境,却使英国文化马克思主义在上世纪70年代末趋于终结。

The internal controversy of British Marxism is not only the controversy of history and structure,subject and object,but also the controversy of the trend of British cultural Marxism.The second generation of the New Left introduced Western Marxism and criticized the cultural and historical analysis of the first generation of the New Left for they concealed the importance of the structure and ideology of the current British capitalist society.This debate,led by Anderson and Thompson,did not ultimately resolve Anderson’s contradictions and dilemmas between European Communism and classical Marxism,but brought the end of British Cultural Marxism in the late 1970s.
