摘要： 意指理论以其对索绪尔语言论思想的深入发展而确立起文化研究的一块理论基石。意指内含着解码的要求。文化的意指通过二级符号系统去掏空与填实一级符号系统中的所指而得以实现，呈现为一条营造资产阶级意识形态的神话学路径。但文学的言外之意也来自意指作用，同样必须在符号学意义上得到阐释。沿此以进，希利斯·米勒等学者提出的文化研究视野下天真阅读与解码阅读构成的文学认同方式悖论，便获得一种可能的解法：这两种阅读方式并不绝对相悖，因为文学对言外之意的意指无蔽地发生于天真阅读中。这为新世纪我国文艺学界审视文学的命运，提供了有益的理论观察点。

Abstract: Signification theory constitutes a theoretical foundation of cultural studies as it is built on in-depth explorations of Saussure's language theory. Signification implies the requirement of decoding. Cultural signification is realized when the signified in first level symbolic system is hollowed out and filled in by the second level symbolic system, and it then exhibits as a mythological path to bourgeois ideology. Signification informs the implications of literary works and makes them intelligible from the perspective of semiotics. Along this line of delineation, we may find a possible solution to Hillis Miller’s paradox of literary identification mode between innocent reading and decoding reading from the perspective of cultural studies. The papaer claims that the two reading methods are not necessarily contradictory to each other, as the signification of a literary work to its implications operates also unconcealedly in innocent reading. The paper claims the plausibility of its theoretical observation in examining the destiny of Chinese literature in the new century.
