再现、权力与文化政治——萨义德文化批评略论

Representation, Power and Cultural Politics: On Said' s Cultural Criticism

文化不是远离政治的神圣殿堂,而是权力操演的重要场所,文化政治学实质上所要讨论的正是文化中的权力问题。而再现是文化生产的基本要素和过程,更是意义争夺和权力生成的文化建构过程。萨义德以此为立足点和着力点,从文化间性视域即跨文化的角度审视和解构不同文化之间的权力关系。

Culture is not hallowed hall which far away from politics, but an important place where power is drilling. The main concern of cultural politics is the power of culture. Representation is the basic element and process of cultural production, and also is the process of cultural construction from significance competition and power formation. Based on this understanding, Edward Said examined and deconstructed the power relations between different cultures from the perspective of interculturalism.
