后基础主义视角下的话语建构研究

Discourse Construction from the Perspective of Post-foundationalism

本文主要回顾后基础主义视角下的话语建构问题。在后基础主义视角下,话语被理解为一种话语主体使用能指与所指建立联系并最终实现意义生产的链接实践。在这一理论视角下,能指充当话语中的元素,话语也因此是一个包含元素、元素之间关系、元素的附加情感以及元素所指的结构的统一体。在回顾相关文献的基础上,本文讨论后基础理论视角下话语的建构功能。本文认为,在话语建构过程中,充当话语中节点的重要元素的选取以及围绕节点形成的基础缺乏、元素之间的关系和围绕节点投入的情感构成话语建构的内容。忘记或是重新激活某一话语的历史性起源以及话语的物化则构成话语沉淀的两个策略。

This study aims to provide a holistic picture of discourse construction from the perspective of post-foundationalism.From the perspective of post-foundationalism,discourse might be understood as a kind of articulation practice in which social subjects employ the signifier to establish a connection with the signified and finally regulate the production of social meaning.Following this theoretical assumption,the signifier functions as an element in discourse,and discourse therefore contains elements,relations among elements,emotions attached to the elements and the signified of elements.Based on the relevant literature,this article argues that in the process of discourse construction,the temporally persisting elements which are called nodal points in discourse,the lack of the nodal points,relationship among the elements,and emotions formed around the nodal points,constitute the specific means of discourse construction,while forgetting or reactivating the origins of discourse and discourse materialization constitutes two important strategies of discourse sedimentation.
