马克思恩格斯文化观的新考察

马克思、恩格斯的文化观是唯物史观的重要内容,它不是文化史观。一方面,由于现实的经济基础对文化起决定作用,因此文化批判从属于现实的实践批判;另一方面,文化对现实的经济基础具有巨大的能动作用,因而文化建设对于整个社会主义建设具有重要意义。从理论的终极关怀意义上看,马克思、恩格斯的文化观与人学密不可分。其根本落脚点都是全人类的彻底解放。     

马克思拜物教批判的逻辑进路与方法论意义

随着现代性社会的兴起,物化处境也逐渐得以生成。马克思拜物教批判思想旨在回应这一物化处境。通过三位一体的拜物教批判,马克思深刻揭示了商品、货币和资本等物象对人与人之间社会关系的掩盖。拜物教批判的逻辑展开,不仅是现代市民社会的政治经济学解剖,而且是意识形态批判的具体化和深刻化。马克思拜物教批判思想的方法论意义在于,一方面用关系性思维取代实体性思维来进行拜物教批判;另一方面,在现代性社会中要就现实层面和观念层面双向展开拜物教批判。     

从马克思主义文化观审视大众文化

Everyday utopianism: Lefebvre and his critics

The strategy of sociocultural critique through the ‘problematization’ or ‘defamiliarization’ of the habitualized character of everyday life is one that is well-established in the literature, especially for adherents of various neo-Marxisms. However, in recent years, several prominent critics have taken issue with the concept of defamiliarization, arguing that the habit-bound, ‘distracted’ and routinized character of the everyday cannot be easily contrasted with, or superceded by, the exceptional or the extraordinary. Such a position, it is suggested, both denigrates the integrity of daily life and promotes a kind of incipient transcendentalism. The work of Henri Lefebvre is often taken to be representative in this regard, and various phenomenologies or pragmatisms are promoted in his stead. In this article, I take issue with such critics, by analyzing Lefebvre’s writings on such key points as his treatment of routine in everyday life, as well as his concepts of totality, dialectics and critique. I end up asserting that, contrary to what is often said, Lefebvre does not promote a dualistic transcendentalism in which daily life is denigrated, but rather an ‘everyday utopianism’ in which routine and creativity, the trivial and the extraordinary, are viewed as productively intertwined rather than opposed. As such, I seek to defend the notion of ‘critique’ vis-à-vis the everyday, and to demonstrate the on-going relevance of Lefebvre’s work, as well as that of the ‘counter-tradition’ that is loosely associated with his name.     

A “Symptomatic Reading” of the Mass Culture Critique and Its Implications for the Reconstruction of Contemporary Chinese Literary Theory

The critique of mass culture is a core theory of the Frankfurt School. Entering China in the early 1990s, this critique enjoyed an initial but brief acclaim. As an over-reaction and over-interpretation stemming from painful historical memories, it tended to impede the impartial assessment of mass culture and the culture industry, resulting in obvious theoretical blind spots and gaps and making a “symptomatic reading” necessary. Today, the Frankfurt School’s critique of mass culture is still of value and significance as an intellectual resource and historical reference, but it warrants further scrutiny when used to analyze practical issues. Given the burgeoning of mass culture and the cultural industry presently under way in the Chinese market economy, we should rise above previous intellectual limitations and theoretical misunderstandings to give due weight and active encouragement to the positive energy of mass culture and the cultural industry. The construction of Chinese literary discourse has its own distinctive pattern, and must orient itself toward China and the contemporary era, and particularly toward the practical development of contemporary China in the current period of transition. The academic counterpart of this is a three-dimensional platform consisting of level of thought, value concepts, and Chinese characteristics.     

“犯罪有益论”之“功能观”批判

国内刑法学界近年来出现了"犯罪有益论"、"相对主义犯罪观"学说,这一学说认为犯罪对于社会发展具有正面的促进作用,并且由于其观点的"新颖性"而受到诸多年轻学子的追捧,形成了不正确的理论误导。而其支持性理论之一在于:犯罪有着应当加以肯定的促进社会发展和制度完善的积极功能或者正面功能。因此,对于"犯罪有益论"者的"功能观"加以分析和批判,具有现实意义。
