文化政治经济学作为一种后学科的方法,是马克思主义政治经济学接受"文化转向"的产物。鲍勃·杰索普试图通过这一方法超越学科边界,对资本主义社会的文化、政治、经济领域进行观照。文化政治经济学整合了符号学的方法和概念,立足符号过程,分析了经济构想被选择、保留、强化的过程,并揭露出这一过程被国家的权力话语所渗透。正是吸收了马克思主义和符号学的批判性,文化政治经济学为批判资本主义社会现实提供了一个崭新的视点。
As a post-disciplinary approach,cultural political economy is the product of Marxist political economy that adopts the"cultural turn". Bob Jessop tried to use this method to transcend discipline boundaries,so as to explain the cultural,political and economic aspects of capitalist society. Cultural political economy combines concepts and tools from critical semiotic analysis,analyzes the process how the economic imaginary is selected,retained,strengthened based on semiosis,and reveals this process being invaded by national power discourse. Cultural political economy absorbs the critical nature of Marxism and semiotics,which provides a new perspective for criticized the capitalist society.
