后革命的“转折”

"Shifts" in the Post-revolutionary Era

我们已经置身于后革命的时代。后革命的"后",一方面是革命之后,表明革命及其话语已成为历史;另一方面是对革命的反思,表明革命及其叙事的解构化或笑谑化态度已成时尚。其之所以能被当作调侃对象,是因为它不再占据意识形态的主导而成为了充分历史化或者说资源化的事件。它已经不再处于国家舆论严格规约的核心地带,但同时还没有退出民间的集体记忆。在这样一个后革命时代里,革命及其故事是如何被讲述的呢?这里对从革命到后革命转变的描述,着眼于在革命叙事中不断地进行革命与反革命的区分直至过度而导致的解构性反叛,就包含了这么一种解释的动机。

We are now at a post-revolutionary epoch. By post-revolution is meant after revolution on the one hand, indicating that revolution and its discourse have become past things while reflections on revolution on the other hand, showing that the deconstructive or derisive attitude towards revolution and its narrative has become fashionable. That revolution together with its narrative is the object of ridicule is just because it has become something historical or for reference rather than the mianstay of ideology. While revolution is no longer at the core of national opinion, it has not been eliminated from the collective memory of the populace How can revolution and its story be related in such a post-revolutionary eopch？ The description of the shift from revolution to post-revolution, geared to the ongoing distinction bewteen revolution and anti-revolution to the effect of deconstuctive rebellion arising from excessive shift, contains such an intent of illustration.
