摘要

本文探讨了当前英美语境下流行文化与左翼/女权主义政治交叉的话语和情感结构。它主要通过对威尔士/希腊流行歌手玛丽娜·迪亚曼迪斯(Marina Diamandis,以“玛丽娜”为笔名表演)最近作品的上下文解读来做到这一点,尤其是她2021年的单曲《清除毒药》。在Sarah Banet Weiser关于流行女权主义的著作的基础上,我认为近年来在流行和商业文化中出现了“流行左翼政治”,其中包括但不限于流行女权主义。我认为,玛丽娜的作品——以及它受到粉丝和评论家的欢迎——可以帮助我们确定我所说的流行左翼政治的文化语法的几个组成特征。其中包括,首先,知识的概念与基于身份和经验的真理的揭示联系在一起;第二,对自我的纯洁和完美主义的投射,第三,对他人的共谋投射。我进一步建议——特别是借鉴Akane Kanai最近的作品——流行左翼政治的文化语法的这些特征证明了新自由主义在塑造即使是表面上反新自由主义的政治和文化形式的话语、情感和主观特征方面的中心地位。此外,与人们熟悉的新自由主义削弱或选择对立话语的论点相反,我认为,在当前的形势下,明确和公开的反新自由主义话语有时会被赋予一定的声望和可见性,只要它们所采用的文化语法与新自由主义霸权的竞争和个人主义逻辑相一致。

Purging the neoliberal poison? Marina Diamandis and the cultural grammar of popular left politics
This article enquires into the discursive and affective texture of the intersections of popular culture and left/feminist politics in the current Anglo-American context. It does this primarily via a contextual reading of the recent work of Welsh/Greek pop singer Marina Diamandis (who performs under the mononym ‘Marina’), especially her 2021 single entitled ‘Purge the Poison’. Building on Sarah Banet-Weiser’s work on popular feminism, I suggest that recent years have seen the emergence within popular and commercial culture of a ‘popular left politics’ which includes – but is not limited to – popular feminism. I argue that Marina’s work – as well as its reception from fans and critics – can help us identify several constitutive features of what I call the cultural grammar of popular left politics. These include, first, a conception of knowledge as linked to the revelation of truth grounded in identity and experience; second, a projection of purity and perfectionism of self and, third, a projection of complicity onto others. I further suggest – drawing in particular on Akane Kanai’s recent work – that these features of the cultural grammar of popular left politics are testament to the centrality of neoliberalism in shaping the discursive, affective and subjective character of even ostensibly anti-neoliberal forms of politics and culture. Furthermore, in contrast to the familiar argument that neoliberalism blunts or co-opts oppositional discourses, I suggest that, in the current conjuncture, explicitly and overtly anti-neoliberal discourses are sometimes afforded a certain cachet and visibility, so long as the cultural grammar they adopt aligns with the competitive and individualistic logics of neoliberal hegemony.

期刊介绍: European Journal of Cultural Studies is a major international, peer-reviewed journal founded in Europe and edited from Finland, the Netherlands, the UK, the United States and New Zealand. The journal promotes a conception of cultural studies rooted in lived experience. It adopts a broad-ranging view of cultural studies, charting new questions and new research, and mapping the transformation of cultural studies in the years to come. The journal publishes well theorized empirically grounded work from a variety of locations and disciplinary backgrounds. It engages in critical discussions on power relations concerning gender, class, sexual preference, ethnicity and other macro or micro sites of political struggle.
