人文知识中的“消费时代”及其批判

“Consumption Age” in Cultural Knowledge and its Criticism

具有特定含义的“日常生活审美化”是人文知识对“消费时代”的一种文化阐释 ,但当前出现在中国社会的消费文化有其特殊性 ,它由“消费时代”尚未全面来临和消费主义已经形成这两个部分构成。对“消费时代”这一议题的抽象化 ,掩盖了社会不同群体的感受差异性 ,因此应当反省知识分子的批判立场和当前学术话语的生产机制 ,以剖析“日常生活审美化”、“消费时代”与当下中国社会究竟具有怎样的关联。

Aesthetic interpretation of the daily life” is a cultural interpretation of “consumption age” with its special meaning in cultural knowledge. The consumption culture in present-day China has its specialties revealed in its up-coming “consumption age” and the existence of consumerism. The abstraction of “consumption age” covers up the different experiences of different social groups. Therefore, there should be some reflections on the standpoints of criticism by Chinese intellectuals and the production mechanism of the existing academic discourse in order to expound the relationship between “aesthetic interpretation of the daily life” and “consumption age” and present-day China.
