论中国文化语境中本雅明研究的寓言意味

The Allegory Significance of Benjamin Study in Chinese Cultural Context

在中国学者的阐释与争论中展现的本雅明形象具有别样的意味,研究兴趣的侧重显示出中国文化语境的特征。经西方学者一再阐释后的本雅明理论在中国文化语境中被赋予了新的意义,研究者更多是借本雅明理论阐述中国的文化问题而不是热切地探究本雅明的本真形象。无限阐释的寓言文本指向深刻的现代忧虑,忧虑聚焦于引起现代人深刻思索的技术。人们在对本雅明“技术”概念的无限阐释中寻找支持自身论点的依据,努力在本雅明的著述中寻求启迪。每一视域中的正题与反题都指向挥抹不去的现代忧虑。

The image of Benjamin demonstrated in Chinese scholars＇ interpretations and arguments has special flavor. Their focus of investigation shows the characteristics of Chinese cultural context. Benjamin＇s theory elaborated again and again by Western scholars is given new significance in Chinese cultural context. Chinese scholars tend to use Benjamin＇s theory to interpret Chinese cultural issues rather than probe into his original theory. The allegory text of limitless interpretation points to a profound modern worry, which focuses on technology arousing modern people＇s deep thinking. From the limitless interpretation of Benjamin＇s idea of ＂technology＂, people are seeking argument to support their viewpoints and trying to find out enlightenment from his works. The modern worry can be found in the thesis and antithesis in every viewpoint.
