本文通过对斯图尔特霍尔的表征理论的阐释,以索绪尔的代表性理论为标注,指出:意义并不存在于实在的客体之中,而是通过表征系统得以构建。语言通过表征运作,而语言所要传达的意义则在于词和语句的使用。这样,我们就回归到了维特根斯坦后期著名的语言游戏说理论,或者宽泛地说,将表征这一文化概念引入语言哲学的视野内。 Through the interpretation of Stuart Hall’s representation theory and Saussure’s representation theory, this paper points out that meaning does not exist in the real object, but rather through the representation system. Language operates through representations, and the meaning conveyed by language lies in the use of words and sentences. In this way, we return to Wittgenstein’s famous theory of language games or, more broadly, to introduce the concept of characterization into the philosophy of language.
