斯图亚特&#8226霍尔:表征的运作

Study on the Cultural Representation Theory and Signifying Practices of Stuart Hall

斯图亚特?霍尔被喻为“文化研究之父”,他所建构的“文化表征”理论对20世纪后半叶以来的文化研究理论和后殖民主义理论的发展做出了杰出的贡献,将结构主义语言学、符号学以及福柯权力话语理论融入表征概念之中,形成独特的文化表征理论,对“文化”的重新定义。同时,以表征为内核思考其在各种文化现象中的运作方式以及发挥的作用,不断地反思现代社会留给我们的理论遗产。

Stuart Hall, known as the Father of Cultural Studies, has constructed the theory of cultural representations and signifying practices, which contributed greatly to the theories of Cultural Studies and Postcolonial Studies since the second half of the 20th century. Stuart Hall integrated the theory of structural linguistics, semiotics and Foucault’s power discourse theory into the concept of representation, and formed a unique cultural representation theory, which is a new definition of “culture”. Simultaneously, taking the Cultural Representations as the center, Stuart Hall researches the operation mode and impact of culture in sorts of cultural phenomena, and reflects the theoretical heritages from the modern society.
