摘要
目前流行在台湾的这个多元文化还大致是一个意识形态修辞,在形式地提倡多样性的同时,压缩社会平等、包容性的公民身份以及两岸和平的进步论述空间,自我矛盾地成为统合内部对抗他者的一元文化动员话语,所以必须要严厉批评。作为一个理论概念,它没有诚实地自省它的很多问题,包括民族国家与帝国的典范问题、资本主义的文化蒸发问题与特殊性的激进化问题。在时间政治、空间政治以及主体能力这三个方面都重新构思过的多元文化,才是值得我们支持的激进的多元文化。
“Multiculturalism' in contemporary Taiwan is essentially a rhetoric celebrating formal diversity and paradoxically an ideological agenda for nation-building. Vital issues such as social equality, inclusive citizenship and radical individuality are silenced amidst the cacophony of multiculturalism. Under the cover of rhetorical reasonableness, multiculturalism in Taiwan is secretly against the cultural diversity as such by taking the latter as means to the final end of national unity. Multiculturalism is paradoxically monoculturalism. As a theoretical formation, multiculturalism is surprisingly numb in reflecting upon its relation to the idea of empire, the neo-liberal globalization and an idea of radical particularity. The paper attempts to offer an immanent critique to the idea of multiculturalism by pointing out its aporia and potentiality, and argues that only through a radical rethinking of three meta-dimensions of multiculturalism, i.e., time, space and subjectivity, can the idea of multiculturalism be rescued from its rhetorical excess.
