摘要
在这篇访谈中,周小仪教授从审美与资本的勾连问题出发,指出在当今金融资本主义阶段,审美是资本获取剩余价值的隐秘推手,成为遮蔽全球化阶级冲突的幻象。他回顾历史,对比了中西消费文化研究的发展历程,并反思了传统人文主义审美观的局限性,以批判的、否定的视角探究审美的社会问题。他归纳了詹姆逊等西方马克思主义理论家关于审美意识形态研究的重要观点及其贡献,并指出了西方文论家对全球化阶级问题的忽视。周教授立足于中国国情与本土经验,以“甜蜜的暴力”这个表述概括了西方通过文化霸权实现财富转移——审美使不平等的交易看上去很美好,让消费者在享受审美时付出经济代价。最后,他强调审美是一种社会关系,呼吁我们关注审美与资本运作的内在机制,以此重新审视全球化阶级关系。
In this interview,Professor Zhou Xiaoyi elucidates the collusion between the aesthetic and capital,arguing that,in the current stage of financial capitalism,the aesthetic covertly enables capital to extract surplus value through alluring fantasies that obscure global class conflicts.After reviewing and comparing the developmental trajectories of consumer culture studies in China and the West,he reflects on the limitations of traditional humanistic perspectives on aesthetics and probes into the social issues surrounding the aesthetic from a critical and negative lens.He summarizes important views and contributions made by Jameson and other Western Marxist theorists in terms of their studies on the ideology of the aesthetic,highlighting Western scholars neglect of global class issues.Grounding his analysis in the conditions of China and local experiences,Professor Zhou uses the phrase"sweet violence"to encapsulate the mechanism of wealth transfer achieved through Western cultural hegemonythe aesthetic makes unequal transactions appear highly appealing,coaxing consumers to pay the economic price with the allure of aesthetic enjoyment.Finally,he emphasizes that the aesthetic constitutes social relations,urging us to be concerned about the inherent connections between the aesthetic and capital,in order to re-evaluate global class relations.
