当下中国文化研究的“元理论”反思

对于"文化研究的""元理论"的反思,是对于理论思维本身的一种严格的历史化:将思维形式与历史经验之间的内在关系纳入思维视野,在重新审核与祛除幻象的基础上,使得思维在一种更加真实的历史经验基础上重新展开;将作为新的批评理论范型的文化研究与文学研究对立起来,这本身是形而上学思维方式的结果。文化研究的理论情境,正是当下文化语境本身的含混与歧义百出,可以将文化研究看做是将反意义、非意义化的文化场域本身赋予意义的努力。

Metatheoretical Reflection of Contemporary Chinese Cultural Studies

The metatheoretical reflection is essentially a kind of strict historicization of theoretical thinking: to bring the internal relation between thinking form and historical experience on which theoretical thinking depend into horizon,re-examine it and dispel illusion,and restart theoretical thinking at true base of historical experience.Through this metatheoretical horizon,we can find that the opposition between the cultural studies as a new mode of criticism and the study of literature itself is the result of metaphysical thinking mode.The theoretical situation of cultural studies is the ambiguity of contemporary cultural context.We can regard cultural studies as meaninglizing effort in the antimeaningful and nonmeaningful cultural field after surpassing the metaphysical thinking mode wholly.
