摘要

在本文中,我们研究了MERIP如何在对该地区的榨取和统治的政治经济批判与更多以“文化”为中心的符号学模型之间的摩擦中进行导航,在他们对权力和不平等的分析中,人们对“文化”有不同的理解。广义地说,MERIP的作者们讨论了文化的四个维度:审美表达和艺术表演;日常实践和日常生活中的各种多感官、情感体验;性别、性、民族和种族交叉领域的身份表现;以及“政治”和“经济”的范畴在不断变化的权力领域中产生和再生产的话语形态。在所有的维度中,文化都被嵌入并纠缠在生产、分配和消费的物质冲突中,因此必然是政治性的,但不仅如此。如何看待文化政治和政治文化,而不把它们贬为一场霸权和反抗的游戏,一直是文化分析中一个经久不衰的挑战。通过探索MERIP的作者们是如何在这片令人担忧的土地上进行谈判的——通过概述MERIP的有效文化概念,重点关注其美学维度——我们为中东研究的更广泛领域内的中心张力提供了一个窗口。

The Cultural Politics and Political Culture of MERIP and Beyond
Abstract In this essay, we examine how MERIP has navigated the frictions between the political economic critique of extraction and domination in the region, and more semiotic models which center “culture,” variously understood, in their analyses of power and inequality. Broadly speaking, MERIP authors have addressed four dimensions of culture writ large: aesthetic expressions and artistic performances; everyday practices and ordinary life in their various multisensorial, affective experiences; identity performance along intersectional terrains of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and race; and discursive formations in which the very categories of the “political” and the “economic” are produced and reproduced within shifting fields of power. In all its dimensions, culture is embedded and entangled in material conflicts over production, distribution, and consumption, and thus necessarily political, but not merely so. How to approach cultural politics and political culture without reducing them to a play of hegemony and resistance has been a persistent challenge in cultural analysis. By exploring how MERIP authors have negotiated this fraught terrain—by outlining MERIP's effective culture concept with a focus on its aesthetic dimensions—we offer a window into a central tension within the broader field of Middle East studies.
