摘　　要：再现(representation)是当代文化理论的核心概念之一。在当下,文化理论越来越呈现出去政治化倾向,这一倾向是导致文化理论对人类社会总体变迁过程日趋解释乏力的重要原因。重建以"再现"为内核的批判性文化政治既是中国当代文化理论建设免于陷入价值虚无主义的关键所在,也对中国学术界在全球化时代构建与西方对话、抗衡的话语体系有重要意义。首先,再现理论为当代社会领域中政治经济结构与文化现象在某些具体语境中的脱节提供了直接的解释。其次,再现理论将使中国的文化理论研究避免陷入价值虚无主义的陷阱,进而失去建构同西方文化对话与抗衡的话语体系的动力。此外,再现理论为全球传播格局中不同层次、语境和领域内的文化冲突提供了一般性的阐释路径。This article discovers and discusses the rise and popularity of the concept of“representation”in the cultural theory since the late 1990s.Combing through Stuart Hall and Michel Foucault's theoretical contribution of the construction of representation theory,the article criticizes the tendency of de-politicization of mainstream cultural theory,which is considered to be one of the main causes of cultural theory's lack of explanatory power about the overall changing process of human society.In conclusion,the article proposes the rebuilding of a representation-centered critical cultural politics,which will refrain China's cultural theory from falling into value nihilism,and help contemporary Chinese academia construct a more effective discourse system to form equal dialogues with or protestcontent against the West.
