文化表征——后财富政治经济学视域中意义的生产

Cultural Representation: Production of Meaning from the Perspective of Post-Wealth Political Economy

运用表征理论和文化循环概念,斯图亚特·霍尔和保罗·杜盖伊等英国文化研究者重新整合了语言学、符号学和福柯等法兰西思想资源,不仅以随身听为案例探讨了现代工业的表征方式和运作机制,而且将意义表征的生产与争夺作为一项议题,置入更为广阔的社会理论场域中,深化了对种族、性别、意识形态等议题的讨论,力图将“文化诗学”转变为实践的“表征政治学”。

By using the Representation Theory and the term of circuit of culture, Stuart Hall and Paul du Gay integrate French thought resources like linguistics, semiotics and Foucault. They discuss the representation mode and operation mechanism of modern industry with the example of Sony Walkman, and make the production and scramble of representation of meaning as an issue put in broader social theory field, which deepens the discussion of such issues as race, gender, ideology, converting "cultural poetics" into practical "representational politics".
