论艾利斯·杨的差异政治学在西方马克思主义中的定位问题

On the Theoretical Position of Iris Young’s Politics of Difference

艾利斯·杨的差异政治学与多元文化主义理论有着本质的区别,文化差异只能在政治的框架下去理解;杨的性别理论并不是马克思主义的女性主义理论,而是历史唯物主义框架下的女性观,隶属于马克思主义的整体视野;杨对经济/文化二元范式、平等的政治范式的批判是基于历史唯物主义视角对经济主义和物化价值观的批判,与马克思主义对文化的看法一脉相承。杨有关分配正义的批判、剥削和文化帝国主义等压迫理论和差异政治观念都应该被视作对马克思核心理念的坚持及在当代西方复调时代下的理论发展。

The politics of difference of Iris Young has an essential difference from multiculturalism theory which has to be understood exclusively within the framework of social differences;Young’s gender theory should not be regarded as Marxist feminism,but a historically materialistic female view within Marxism which is a holistic system;Young’s critique of economic/cultural dual paradigm and equal political paradigm is based on historical materialism,which is consistent with a Marxist’s view on culture.Therefore,Young’s theory is in fact a kind of Marxism which is answerable to justice in the post-modern western society.
