摘要
西方是在与非西方社会的比较中得到更为明确的界定的。在西方的文化视野中,对非西方固然有着某种程度的理性认知,但也不乏充满错觉的想像,即以一种与“自我”不同的“他者”形象不断建构非西方的历史身份,从而创造出一个与真实存在不尽相同的非西方。西方的非西方想像体现了西方对他者的控制与重构,是西方表达自我优越意识的一种霸权话语。文章考察了古典时代至18世纪西方表述他者的话语体系,分析了产生这种想像的文化和社会原因,由此说明西方是怎样逐步形成与非西方对立,并最终取得对后者的优势地位。
The conception of the west only could be explicitly defined in comparing with the non-west. In the cultural horizon of the west, the westerners, to some extant, can recognize the non-west rationally. But at the same time they have a mistaken imagination on it as well. This imagination reflects the control and reconstruction of the west on the non-west, which is a hegemonic discourse and expresses the consciousness of superiority of the west. This paper tries to explore the reason forming this situation and explains how the west confronting the non-west and finally getting a superior position over it, through briefly tracing and analyzing the discourse system of the west on the non-west from classical age to 18th century.
