当代中国文化主体性建构的三重意涵

Triple Connotations in the Construction of Contemporary Chinese Cultural Subjectivity

当代中国文化主体性是构建中国话语体系的重要组成部分。文化主体性是体现于政治制度、历史文化和当代实践等不同维度与领域之中的价值观、历史观、民族观和国家观,并呈现出鲜明的民族文化基因特征。从文化政治意涵看,文化主体性既内在地决定着政治制度,又受现行国家制度的规约;传统“仁政德治”、崇尚善治等思想,成为现行制度文化内在智慧构成;海纳百川、天下为公的思想理念,使马克思主义从被接受到中国化成为可能,为文化主体性建构提供了制度支撑。从文化美学意涵看,文化主体性中的“文化思想”逻辑虽然来自“政治历史”逻辑,却具有跨越民族、跨越国度的更广阔更深厚的内涵。传统文化美学不仅能以生动形象的方式传播核心价值观,而且能以独特的美学风格与气质传播中国文化、讲述中国故事、塑造中国形象,构筑起文化主体性的本体支撑。从文化实践意涵看,文化政治意涵是文化主体性政治理想的呈现形态,文化美学意涵是文化主体性理论认知的呈现形态,而文化实践意涵则是文化主体性现实具体的呈现形态。文化政治、审美意识形态所确立的文化价值向度、审美取向,必须由文化实践创造的成果作为实现形式,文化实践还将随着社会变迁、时代进步而提出新的问题与诉求,从而不断推动文化政治、文化美学的更新发展,成为文化主体性的动力支撑。

Contemporary Chinese cultural subjectivity is an important part of constructing Chinese discourse system.Cultural subjectivity is the sense of values,historical views,national concepts and state outlooks embodied in different dimensions and fields such as political system,history and culture as well as contemporary practice,and presents distinctive characteristics of national cultural genes.From the perspective of cultural and political connotation,cultural subjectivity not only internally determines a political system,but also is regulated by its current national system.The traditional ideas of“benevolent governance”or advocating good governance have become the inherent wisdom of the current institutional culture.The traditional concept that all rivers run into sea and the world belongs to all people makes Marxism become sinicized and a guiding ideology,which provides institutional support for the construction of cultural subjectivity.From the perspective of the implication of cultural aesthetics,the logic of“culture-thought”in cultural subjectivity comes from that of“politics-history”,it has a broader and deeper connotation across nations and countries.Traditional cultural aesthetics can not only disseminate the core values in a vivid manner but also propagate Chinese culture,tell Chinese stories,shape Chinese images,and build up ontological support for cultural subjectivity with unique aesthetic style and temperament.From the perspective of the implication of cultural practice,cultural political connotation is the manifestation of political ideal of cultural subjectivity and cultural aesthetic connotation is the present appearance of the theoretical cognition of cultural subjectivity while cultural practice implication is the instantiation of cultural subjectivity.The dimension of cultural value and aesthetic orientation established by cultural politics and aesthetic ideology must be realized by the achievements created by cultural practice.Cultural practice will also raise new questions and demands with the social changes and the progress of the times so as to constantly promote the renewal and development of cultural politics and cultural aesthetics and to become the dynamic support of cultural subjectivity.
