From Political Practice Discourse to Cultural Interpretation Strategy:An Example of Fredric Jameson’s Aesthetic Application of Mao Zedong’s Thoughts

摘要

When Western left-wing movement suffered setbacks in reality,its practical experience transformed into a method of text interpretation.However,rare people would ask,how could political practice revive in discourse practice?This article aims to analyze its transition through the example of Fredric Jameson’s aesthetic application of Mao Zedong’s thoughts.The influence is manifested in three ways:First,the influence of theory—variation through the journey of the text;second,the influence of practice—transformation through the extraction of the context;third,the application of Maoism—to reserve the signifier but convert the signified.In Jameson’s view,Mao Zedong’s thoughts and practice became the focus of theorists and an idealized“otherness”.
