创造与摧毁:资本文化逻辑的悖论

Creation and Destruction: the Paradox of Capital Culture’s Logic

资本创造文化、促进人的发展,也必然性地摧毁文化、造成人的倒退。这构成资本文化逻辑的悖论。自由时间是资本创造文化的前提和归宿,创造文明是资本创造文化的逻辑主线,生产力与生产关系是资本创造文化的关键因素。从消费角度看,文化资本是实现消费扩张的重要前提,它的“价值溢出”效应进一步促进消费扩张,消解文化的精神价值。从生产角度看,生产力以利己主义、享乐主义、虚无主义三种倾向间接消解文化,又以生产能力丧失的方式直接摧毁文化。对于资本文化逻辑,利用和发展其积极方面,引导及规制其消极部分,在扬弃资本文化的基础上建构新的主体性文化,走出逻辑悖论、破解资本迷局,助力新时代文化创新发展。

Capital creates culture and promotes human development. At the same time, it inevitably destroys culture and causes human to regress. This constitutes the logic paradox of capital culture. Free time, creation of civilization, productivity and production relations are the premise and destination, the logical main line and the key factors of creating culture by capital respectively. However, from the perspective of consumption, cultural capital is an important prerequisite for realizing the expansion of consumption, its“value spillover” effect further promotes consumptive expansion and eventually dissolves the spiritual value of culture. From the view of production, productivity has not only indirectly dispelled culture with three tendencies of self-interest, hedonism and nihilism, but also directly destroys culture in its way of production capacity losing. For the logic of capital culture, the possible method is to use and develop its positive aspects, guide and regulate its negative parts, construct a new subjective culture on the basis of abandoning and subliming the capital culture. Only in this way can we get out of the logical paradox, crack the capital puzzle, and help the cultural innovation and development in the new era.
