"合法化"论争与认同焦虑——以文论"失语症"和新诗"西化"说为个案

合法性是韦伯社会学理论的一个关键概念,把合法性概念引入文化理论话语及其论争的分析,有助于揭示这些话语及其论争复杂的文化意义。晚近有关中国现代文学理论和汉语新诗的理论话语中出现了一些值得关注的说法,尤其是以下两种代表性的理论:中国现代当文论“失语症”说,汉语新诗“西化”说。这两种理论的提出实际上是对中国现代文化和文学的合法性提出了质疑,同时,表露出一种对现代文化认同的深切焦虑。这种焦虑近代以来一再出现,它反映了中国社会文化现代化转型过程中无法回避的文化认同问题。通过对“重新传统化”与“本体安全”关系的分析,可以展现回归传统与文化认同的当代建构的复杂关系。正确的做法应该是,在坚持文化多元主义价值观的基础上,倡导一种开放的、发展的文化认同观。     

The “Feminization” of British Television and the Re-Traditionalization of Gender

This article explores shifts that have taken place in British television and British forms of feminine-gendered fiction from the late 1990s. These shifts will be discussed with reference to discourses of the “feminization of television” circulating in British culture during this period. This article contests the suggestion that discourses of the “feminization of television” and texts such as the female ensemble drama produced in this postfeminist period represent unproblematic “narratives of progress” for women (Georgina Harris 2006, Beyond Representation: Television Drama and the Politics of Identity, Manchester University Press, Manchester, p. 1). Rather, this article will suggest that accounts of the “feminization of television” found in the popular press along with contemporary examples of the female ensemble drama re-traditionalize women in relation to the spaces and discourses associated with twentieth-century femininity.
