摘要: 接合理论对于文化研究有着特殊的价值。本文阐述了“接合”观念从原始意义到拉克劳直至霍尔等学者的演进,并在此基础上描绘了接合理论在文化研究中的发展图景——“接合”“双重接合”“三重接合”。接合理论的不断推进更新了文化研究的基础观念,帮助文化研究突破了“文化主义”与“结构主义”之争的困境。然而,接合理论却因自己过于强调受众及受众在解码活动中的能动性,过于依赖语言表达逻辑来解释文化问题等缺点,又为文化研究带来了新的困扰。这些困扰甚至在文化研究内部催生了“去接合”的倾向。不过,由于接合理论与中后期文化研究及其生成语境的内在契合,它在短时期内还将继续为当代文化研究者提供理论基础与方法论指导。

Abstract: Articulation theory has special value for cultural studies. This article discusses the evolution of the concept “articulation from its origin through Ernesto Laclau to Stuart Hall, and goes on to portray articulation theory’s developing landscape in cultural studies – from articulation, double articulation to triple articulation. The developments of articulation theory have updated foundational concepts in cultural studies, helping it break the conflicts between culturalism and structuralism. However, articulation theory has also complicated the scene of cultural studies, as it overemphasizes the agency of audiences in decoding activities and overly relies on language’s expressive logic in the interpretation of cultural issues. The complications have even developed the tendency of disarticulation in cultural studies. Nevertheless, due to articulation theory’s intrinsic conjunction with mid-and-late-stage cultural studies and its context, it would still functions as the theoretical basis and methodological guidance for contemporary researchers in cultural studies in the short term.

Key words: Cultural studies, articulation, double articulation, triple articulation, disarticulation
