一种方法的源起——詹姆逊后现代主义理论研究

本文从内、外两个层面探讨了詹姆逊后现代主义理论研究方法的源起,分析了詹姆逊介入"后现代"讨论时的理论现状,指出詹姆逊的独特之处他从历时和共时两根轴线对后现代主义文化进行了合理的定位,说明了文化中连接个人幻想和社会组织的"政治无意识";他用马克思主义意识形态分析的方法--"认知测绘"的模式揭示了个体的、互不相关、毫无意义的文本中所隐含的历史意义,用寓言的方式表现出文化和生产方式之间的辩证关系.

The Origin of Methodology--A Study of F.Jameson's Theory of Postmodernism

This paper is intended to defend Fredrich Jameson's theory of postmodernism,which shows a reconstruction of the Marxist theory and provides the most comprehensive and penetrating theory of postmodernism.Initially the postmodern debates centers on whether or not it is the end of modernity,and the attitudes of most people are primarily oppositional in nature.The epoch of post- modernity is represented mainly by such thinkers as Ihab Hassan,Jean-Francois Lyotard,Jurgen Habermas and Fredric Jameson,among whom,no one can be compared with Jameson in the historical reconstruction and in his understanding of history in totality. Jameson's works expand literary analysis to include popular culture,architecture,theory and other respects ,thus they can be seen as part of the movement towards cultural studies as a replacement for canonical literary studies.This paper tries to give an analysis of Jameson's explanation of postmodernism and his intention to uncover specific cultural objects as a possible location of a cultural politics.
