摘　　要：单单凭借风格,汪民安的《论家用电器》(伦敦:劳特里奇,2018)显然摆脱了“超专业化”的理论危机。汪民安所带来的是一副由电施加于人类的节奏图景,一项在过去几年被称为能源人文科学或新物质主义时代背景下的研究成果,但是这项研究成果同时也受惠于曾经被誉为文化唯物主义的理论方法。不像大多数当代理论,这部作品呈现出一种出乎意料的柔和雅致,一种栖居其间又对其进行反思的空间意识。它提醒我们,哲学上的左派仍可以写出节奏舒缓、辩证严谨、风格优美的文字。On the strength of its style alone,Wang Min'an's Domestic Spaces in Post-Mao China:On Electronic Household Appliance(London:Routledge,2018)emphatically rejects the terms of the new "professionalized"theoretical conjuncture.What Wang has produced is a map of the rhythms imposed on humans by electricity,a project that can be fit perhaps into the backdrop of what has come in the last few years to be known as Energy Humanities or New Materialism but which is equally indebted to what was once known as Cultural Materialism.Unlike so much contemporary theory,there is a strange coziness to Wang's book,a sense of space livingly inhibited and reflected upon.It reminds us that it is possible to be a Leftist in philosophy and to do so while writing slow,dialectically precise,stylistically beautiful sentences.
