文化理論
Cultural Theory
Interdisciplinary work, so much discussed these days, is not about confronting already constituted disciplines (none of which, in fact, is willing to let itself go). To do something interdisciplinary it’s not enough to choose a “subject” (a theme) and gather around it two or three sciences. Interdisciplinarity consists in creating a new object that belongs to no one. ___Roland Barthes
課程簡介
《文化理論》課程是針對當代文化議題與文化研究理論做一介紹。

文化理論所涉及的領域相當廣泛，本課程除了提供並研讀文化理論的核心主題之外，並以碩博士階段常遇見的認識論、方法論問題為主軸，期待學生能熟悉文化理論主要的核心關懷與辯論。

課程所要處理的範疇包括，從西方馬克斯主義到後結構主義轉向、語言與論述、傅科與文化研究、認同與差異、以及科學研究（STS）等。

以差異與認同問題為主軸，這節課探討的概念包括，主體性、自我與他者、認同政治與再現。

課程分為四部分，第一與第二週，我們將從自然與文化的二元對立關係談起，從nature/culture的二分概念討論中，試圖mapping出文化研究、女性主義、科學研究等認識論的基礎與其對立面。

三到六週，我們將進入法蘭克福學派、阿圖塞以及後結構主義轉向。

在此最重要的部分是語言、論述與權力的關係，也就是理解後結構主義的轉向的重要概念與思考。

同學通常容易混淆的部分是論述分析之中，關於主體、作者與文本/論述的關係。

所以，我們從論述分析（研究方法）的問題出發，進入到關於作者已死與以及語言的理論之中找尋解答。

接著，我們就能夠銜接英國文化研究學者Stuart Hall的重要理論基礎--再現。

由於再現探討的是關於文化意義於語言、論述的關係，因此我們接著進入這個文化理論重點主題之中。

第三部分，我們將綜合討論後現代主義理論中有關認同、差異與主體的問
題。

我們將檢視從現代到後現代主義轉變過程中，認同概念的轉變以及其於大眾文化之中所展現之特性。

此部分我們著於從現代主義到後現代主義的理論脈絡理解；當然，所挑選的經驗研究主題主要還是以大眾文化現象、消費、以及通俗文化研究、性別議題為主。

第四部分將以專題方式來進行，我們請到清華大學林文源教授來帶大家討論Foucaultian 科學研究的認識論與方法論問題，為同學開啟科學研究mapping新視野與觀念。

世新大學陳政亮教授帶大家討論英國工人文化研究的重要理論家Paul Willis 的勞工史著作，進入英國勞工史書寫的精彩世界。

最後，本課程特別強調女性主義與文化理論中的各種命題：理論與實踐的關係（theory and practice）、跨學科整合的必要（interdisciplinary research）以及針對知識的認識論的反省。

此節課不只要求熟悉相關文化理論，更重要的是希望能將個人生活經驗，與理論結合，探討如何將不同理論取向，歸納、整合、批判，並開展出研究者特殊的研究取向與方法。
