“Articulation”与后马克思主义的偶然性逻辑———从拉克劳和墨菲的“articulation”谈起

该文认为,“articulation”是拉克劳、墨菲的后马克思主义的一个核心概念,它的基本意思是“链结”。该文从词源上考察了“articulation”一词的意义及其历史演变,并对其基本含义和特征做了深入的分析。该文认为,链接是理解后马克思主义的偶然性逻辑的核心概念。链接是发生在主体身份之间的,话语性的,偶然性的建构实践活动。但拉克劳、墨菲的链接虽然力图避免近代哲学的本质主义和还原主义,但却仍然避免不了其精致的“唯心”倾向和向上的还原论的嫌疑。我们对此要有清晰的认识。

This paper focuses on the key concept ＂articulation＂ to explore its origin, significance and characteristics in terms of Post-Marxism advocated by E. Laclau and C. Moffe in 1980＇s. It puts forward that the articulation is the key to understand their outer-logic in the theory of antagonism and political identity. The articulation is the concept based on the characteristics of subject position, discourse and construction activity. However, Post-Marxist theory and the theory of articulation could not avoid the shortcomings with the trends of upward reductionism and so on. We should explore it deeply and criticize it scientifically.
