在替未被质疑和反思的本质主义文学观念信仰祛魅中,托尼·贝内特对马克思主义美学存在的合法性产生了怀疑。与此同时,随着对这些问题的深入探讨,一个更值得关注的问题是,贝内特为何从马克思主义文学批评家,转变为采用后马克思主义框架探讨问题的学者。其深层次讨论也必将涉及到另一问题:贝内特从葛兰西到福柯理论范式的转换,而且进一步把福柯的理论框架运用于具体的文化实践之中,从而揭示出当代社会中成为间接干预的“新自由主义”的政治图谋。但贝内特并没有批判这种社会现实,相反,他在很大程度上形成了与制度合谋的关系。 Tony Bennett cast doubt on the legitimacy of the existence of Marxist aesthetics in the disenchantment of the unbelievable and introspective beliefs of the essentialist literary ideas. In the meantime, as an in-depth discussion of these issues, a more noteworthy issue is why Bennett turned from a Marxist literary critic to a scholar who explored the issue using the post-Marxist framework. The deep discussion will also involve another question: Bennett from Gramsci to Foucault’s paradigm shift, but also to further apply Foucault’s theoretical framework to specific cultural practices, revealing the contemporary society In the “neoliberal” political act of indirect intervention. But Bennett did not criticize this social reality, on the contrary, he formed a large degree of collusion with the system.
