托尼·本尼特是继威廉斯、汤普森、伊格尔顿等之后在英国文化研究界享有盛名的马克思主义理论家。本尼特的马克思主义美学研究是从马克思主义当下所遭遇的各种批评话语和面对的理论困境开始的,他把着力点首先放到了对俄国形式主义和各种后康德式美学思想的批判上,着力强调在“历史语境”中审视文学、文化与审美。本尼特在对大众文化的态度上也迥然有别于以法兰克福学派为代表的西方马克思主义,从而在“社会维度”内给予大众文化以足够的重视和深入的阐释。本尼特在“实践领域”内对知识分子进行类型划分与功能界定,同样体现了他的马克思主义立场。历史语境、社会维度、实践领域,分别构成了本尼特马克思主义美学研究的三个基本视野。
Tony Bennett is a Marxist theorist who has enjoyed great acclaim in British cultural studies after Williams, Thompson and Eagleton. Bennett’s study of Marxist aesthetics started from the various critical discourses encountered by Marxism and the theoretical difficulties it faced. He put the emphasis first on criticizing Russian formalism and various post-Kantian aesthetic ideas Focusing on literature, culture and aesthetics in “Historical Context ”. Bennett is also very different from the Western Marxism represented by the Frankfurt school in his attitude towards popular culture, giving enough emphasis and in-depth explanation to popular culture in his “social dimension ”. Bennett classifies and defines intellectuals in his “field of practice” and embodies his Marxist position as well. Historical context, social dimension and practice field respectively constitute the three basic horizons of Bennett Marxist aesthetics research.
