绝对的地图测绘,或,重返“认知图绘”

Cartographies Of The Absolute,Or, Return To Cognitive Mapping

认知图绘是杰姆逊的术语,这一措辞强调了对政治和实践阐述规划的政治需求。认知图绘的需要从某种程度上说是来自个人与社会"完美比重"的幻想仍旧有待考量,这一美学旗号下产生的理论或许可以使得个人主体和集体看清他们在全球化世界中所处的位置。唯有认识到资本主义与它地理上分化形态的不平均状态,才能避免造成个人与政治—经济、经验与抽象的断裂,从不同形式与层面运用认知图绘,并解决它所带来的问题。

Fredric Jameson employs cartographies of the absolute, with reference to what he calls “the aesthetic of cognitive mapping”. The phrase stressed the political need for its elaboration in both theory and practice. It remains to be ascertained to what degree the very desire for cognitive mapping is haunted by the fantasy of a “perfect ratio” between the personal and the social. The works that would emerge under the banner of this aesthetic would enable individual subjects and collectivities to make their local situation in a globalized world intelligible. Only when the unevenness of capitalism and its geographically-differentiated formations has been focused, can we avoid the disjunction between the personal and the political-economic, experience and abstraction, and overcome the problems of cognitive mapping.
