自《读书》杂志93年9月号发表了《欧美人心目中的非我族类》一文(作者张宽)之后,“后殖民”、“后殖民主义”、“后殖民批评”就成了中国文化界讨论和争论的热门话题。究其原因是这个话题深深地触及到了我们的历史、我们所处的时代特征、生存境况、以及我们作为一个中国人的民族意识。本文的目的仅在于为讨论美术中的后殖民问题提供一些学术背景材料。 “后殖民”(postcolonial)是相对“殖民”而言的。在这里,“后”(post)不仅指时间、历史的后,更重要的是“后殖民”时代在意义、方法、形态上与殖民时期的差异和对立。在殖民主义时期,西方列强对非西方世界殖民扩张的主要方式是血腥屠杀殖民地的反抗者、疯狂掠夺殖民地的人力、物力、财力、文化等资源、强占殖民地的领土和国家主权以满足西方资本主义社会资本冲动的需要。与 After “Reading” magazine published the article “The Non-My Own Class in the Eyes of Europeans and People” (by Zhang Kuan) in September, 1993, Postcolonialism, Postcolonialism, and Postcolonial Criticism became Popular topics for discussion and debate in Chinese culture. The reason for this is that this topic touches deeply on our history, the characteristics of the times we live in, the conditions in which we live, and our national consciousness as a Chinese. The purpose of this article is to provide some academic background material for discussing postcolonial issues in art. Postcolonial is relatively “colonial”. Here, “post” refers not only to time, to history, but more importantly to the differences and contradictions of the post-colonial era in meaning, method and form from the colonial period. During the colonial era, the main method by which the Western powers colonized and expanded the non-Western world was the bloody massacre of the colonial rebels, the crazy predation of the colonial human, material, financial and cultural resources, the occupation of colonial territories and state sovereignty to meet Western capitalism The need for social capital impulse. versus
