陶东风坚持反思当代中国文艺理论的发展现状,有意味地纳入西方当代社会学和后现代文化理论的思想资源,考察文艺学知识建构的复杂社会场域及其各种关系因素与权力网络。他以清醒的立场和批判的姿态介入当下中国现实,透过杂色纷呈的话语谱系与思想交锋,图绘当下中国文化现实的种种症候,并试图通过解密文化症候的话语机制和社会情境,询唤真正意义上公共知识分子的出场。 Tao Dongfeng insisted on rethinking the development of contemporary Chinese literary theory, incorporating the ideological resources of contemporary western sociology and postmodern cultural theory, and examining the complex social fields constructed by knowledge of literary theory and its various relational factors and power networks. With a clear-headed position and a critical attitude, he intervened in the current reality of China and confronted his ideological confrontation with his motley discourse. He painted various symptoms of the current Chinese cultural reality and attempted to decrypt the cultural discourse mechanism and social context by asking Call true appearance of public intellectuals.
