澳大利亚文化研究对民族主义话语的批判与重构

Criticism and Reconstruction of Australian Nationalist Discourse by Australian Cultural Studies

澳大利亚自1901年联邦成立以来,一直有着浓重的民族主义情结。但是澳大利亚的民族主义话语从一开始并没有形成一个稳定而统一的表达。澳大利亚文化研究揭示和批判了澳大利亚流行的两种民族主义话语:西方话语模式和求同话语模式。正是在批判这两种模式的基础上,澳大利亚文化研究形成了自己对民族性建构的新的模式,即存异不求同的团结或杂交模式,或差异中的团结模式。这种模式强调差异的不可消除性,但不影响可以共存。这是一种真正的多元主义的民族性,在全球化的今天尤其具有重要的价值和意义。

Australia has always had a strong nationalist complex since the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1901.However,Australian nationalist discourse did not form a stable and unified expression from the beginning.Australian Cultural Studies reveals and criticizes two modes of discourse constructing nationalism:Western discourse mode and seeking common ground discourse mode.On the basis of criticizing these two models,Australian Cultural Studies has formed its own new model of constructing nationalism,that is,the togetherness or hybrid model of reserving differences and not seeking common ground,or mode of togetherness-in-difference.This model emphasizes the non-elimination of differences,but coexistence.This is a true pluralistic nationality.This is also reflected in the emphasis on indigenous research in Australian Cultural Studies.
