现代性的生死断裂——1976年福柯与鲍德里亚视野中的生死边界

The Rupture of Life and Death in Modernity:A Critique of Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard's Mapping of the Boundary between Life and Death in 1976

1976年米歇尔·福柯在法兰西学院的系列讲座"必须保卫社会"与让·鲍德里亚同一年问世的《象征交换与死亡》分别探讨了规训/调节权力技术论和宏大象征交换逻辑论,他们各自在权力与象征交换层面对生命与死亡边界进行了反思重构。福柯与鲍德里亚立足于生命与死亡的现代性批判,阐述了西方哲学的现代性话语与种族、文化、社会、历史意义上的他者之间挪用与排斥的矛盾关系,由此揭示了制约福柯与鲍德里亚现代性哲学话语的双重束缚死局,同时反思了内在的跨文化转化过程涉及到的文化边界重构必要性问题。

Both Michel Foucault＇s serial lectures ＂Society Must Be Defended＂（1976） in the Collège de France and Jean Baudrillard＇s Symbolic Exchange and Death（1976） deal with disciplinary/regulatory power techniques and the macro-logic of symbolic exchange.Though discursively re-forming the boundary between life and death on the level of power and that of symbolic exchange,Foucault and Baudrillard＇s investigate modernity in the throes of life and death,which illuminates the ambivalent relationship of appropriation and repulsion between Western discourse of philosophical modernity and the Other in its ethnical,cultural,social and historical sense.Revealing the double bind methodologically confining both Foucault and Baudrillard＇s discursive formations of modernity in this way,one can not help reflecting on the necessity to reconstruct the boundary of culture concerning inter-cultural translation internal to theoretical formulations.
