摘要
消费是一面镜子,可以影射一个民族或国家的理想,符号消费在中国之所以引起忧思,重要原因之一是符号消费在中国表现出超乎寻常的、近乎宗教式的全民崇拜这一中国特色,其背后具有深远的社会、历史、文化和国际政治等因素。符号消费世界是一个符号系统的世界,看似平等自由却充满诸多不平等的逻辑。在文化帝国主义时代,发达国家对发展中国家的掠夺不再是攻城略地或输出产品,而是输出文化和价值观,发达国家借助优势全球商业传播系统,有谋略地从文化和意识形态层面进行全方位渗透;"文化霸权"则以一种隐性的文化暴力或文化强制形式,通过"符号的系统化操控"把西方价值观作为普世准则向发展中国家加以推行。全球化时代信息传播严重失衡,西方消费文化的单向度传播对弱势国家的民族文化安全和文化认同、文化创造力构成极大威胁。
Symbol consumption in China has become a new fashion that has acquired the status of a quasi religion. It is worrisome because such a consumptive pattern has deep political, social, cultural and historical implications. In the contemporary age of cultural imperialism, the exploitation and control of ＂developing＂ countries by the ＂developed＂ nations is long since not direct colonization or product dumping, but the export of cultural values and ideas. Cultural hegemony uses a hidden form of cultural violence or coercion to promote a symbolic systemic control that take western ideas and values as universal value systems, as a way to dominate the less powerful nations. This paper seeks to lay bare the international and domestic component factors that form this symbolic fetishism in our transitional period. It hopes to mitigate the power of this universal consumptive ecstasy in the service of native cultures＇ survival in the face of such massive threat.
