英国马克思主义意识形态理论释义

An Explanation of British Marxist Theory of Ideology

意识形态是现代性批判理论的重要主题之一,也是一个盛久不衰的学术热点问题。英国马克思主义将文化问题与意识形态问题内在地整合起来,在考察与分析意识形态内涵的过程中凸显其文化维度,认为意识形态是现代文化的核心内涵,现代文化载体成为意识形态生产的重要工具,现代意识形态批判的方向即反抗资本主义文化霸权,争取人类的解放。英国马克思主义关于意识形态理论的阐释与建构对于丰富和深化意识形态理论具有重要的意义,但因其忽视对经济维度的考察并在某种程度上违背历史唯物主义的一些基本原理,导致该理论批判力度的软弱化。

Ideology is one of the most important themes of the critical theory of modernity, which is always a hot academic topic. British Marxism internally integrates cultural problems with ideological ones and highlights its cultural dimension in the process of investigating and analyzing the ideological issues. It holds that ideology is the core element of the modem culture, the carrier of which is an important tool for ideological production. The direction of the modem ideological criticism is to resist capitalist culture hegemony and fight for the liberation of human beings. The interpretation and construction of ideological theory offered by British Marxism is of great importance for enriching and deepening the ideological theory, but because it fails to investigate the economic dimension and to some extent violates some basic principles of historical materialism, British Marxism is weak in doing criticism.
