符号抗争:表演式抗争的意指实践与隐喻机制

Symbolic Resistance:Searching for the Signifying Practices and Metaphor Mechanism of Performing Resistance

符号抗争是我们理解表演式抗争的一种重要的分析范式。表演的目的是有意制造"图像事件",从而借助视觉化的意指实践实现社会动员的意义功能。意指实践强调视觉文本本身的形式构成分析以及文本与意义之间的关系模式和指涉结构分析。在符号表征维度上,表演式抗争的意指过程体现为对图像聚合轴上某些关键性的组分元素进行戏剧性的、游戏化的、偷袭式的篡改,从而在视觉景观上制造了一个个扩张性、不稳定的、破坏性的"刺点"。视觉"刺点"构成了图像语义分析的符号起点,其功能就是对画外视像的符号"标记"与意义"召唤",从而在符号聚合实践上搭建了一个抗争性话语形成的伴随文本语境。聚合实践对应的思维基础是文化概念上的隐喻思维,即通过对经验系统中某种普遍共享的符号意象的激活与再造来重构底层话语的想象方式。

Symbolic resistance provides a significant analytic paradigm to understand performing resistance.The aim of performing is to intentionally create image events,subsequently achieving the goal of social mobilization through visual signifying practices.By the dramatic and gamified distortion of certain elements on the paradigmatic axis,performing resistance creates an expansive,unstable,and destructive PUNCTUM,which constitutes the symbolic starting point of image semantic analysis.In this way,PUNCYUM constructs a co-context with grassroots discourse on the basis of paradigmatic practice.The thinking foundation of paradigmatic practice is the culturally metaphoric thinking which means through the activation and reconstruction of certain commonly shared symbols in human experiences to reconfigure the imagination of grassroots discourse.
