“文化政治”:话语内涵及理论生成的历时性考察

“Cultural Politics”: a Diachronic Study on Discourse Connotation and Theory Formation

文化政治是西方社会政治、经济与文化发展到一定阶段,文化知识分子对文化与意识形态展开批判性反思的理论产物。文化政治重新思考了文化、政治与权力问题,重构了文化、政治的语义、结构与功能。文化政治滥觞于葛兰西的霸权理论,经威廉斯、阿尔都塞等人的发展,以及后结构主义理论的创生,成为文化研究、后殖民主义批评、女性主义批评的主导话语范式。文化政治既有其积极进步的一面,同时也有明显的理论局限,需要对其展开辩证的反思。

Cultural Politics is the outcome of the cultural intellectuals' critical reflection on culture and ideology,as western social politics,economy and culture have developed to a certain stage. Cultural Politics urges people to rethink the issues of culture,politics and power,and reconstruct the semantic,structure and function of culture and politics. The concept of Cultural Politics,originated in Gramsci 's hegemony theory,developed by Williams,Louis Althusser et al,and expounded by the post- structuralism theory,become the dominant discourse paradigm of cultural Studies,post- colonial criticism,and feminist criticism. Cultural politics has a progressive side,but also has obvious theory limitations,which needs a dialectical reflection.
