摘要

本文通过考察具有争议性的新颖性政治如何塑造现代革命政治，发展了一种研究时间社会学的新方法。它超越了流行的社会时间二元概念，通过区分二元概念中合并的两种不同寻常的时间——狂欢时间和新时间，形成了一个三段式的模型。我们将中国文化大革命作为理解新时代对现代革命政治重要性的一个重要案例来分析。努力打造一个持续的、广泛体验的“新时代”，在CCR中产生了一系列关于激进新颖性经验的权力动态和边界的矛盾和困难。CCR雅各宾派政治的最终失败决定了CCR后对群众运动和政治变革的怀疑。更广泛地说，时间解释的政治学为政治现代性社会学提供了一个不同的视角。

Modernity and the Politics of Newness: Unraveling New Time in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, 1966 to 1968

This article develops a new approach to the sociology of time by examining how the contentious politics of newness shapes modern revolutionary politics. It goes beyond the prevalent dualistic conception of social time and develops a tripartite model by distinguishing two kinds of unordinary time—carnival time and new time—that are conflated in the dualistic conception. We analyze the Chinese Cultural Revolution (CCR) as a crucial case for understanding the importance of new time to modern revolutionary politics. The effort to forge an ongoing, widely experienced “new time” created a series of contradictions and difficulties in the CCR regarding the power dynamics and boundaries of the experiences of radical newness. The eventual failure of the Jacobin politics of the CCR conditioned the post-CCR suspicion of mass movements and political changes. More broadly, the politics of the interpretation of time provides a different angle on the sociology of political modernity.
