《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家》全球化思想建構(gòu)的敘事

內(nèi)容概要

　　一百多年來，西方精英雜志《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家》一直是自由貿(mào)易的積極倡導(dǎo)者。自1985年來，　7它借用全球化概念繼續(xù)不遺余力地推動傳統(tǒng)自由貿(mào)易政策，主張市場全球化，并進(jìn)而實(shí)現(xiàn)西方民主政治制度和價值理念的全球化。該刊憑借其敘事謀略這只“鞋拔子”，成功地將全球化的“巨足”塞人其自由主義的“水晶鞋”。然而，其自由主義全球化敘事與氣候變暖敘事產(chǎn)生了明顯的矛盾和沖突。此時，該刊倒也體現(xiàn)了務(wù)實(shí)作風(fēng)，顯示了變革之勢。但由于受西方個人主義傳統(tǒng)思想的長期束縛，其全球化思想的局限性日益凸顯。
　　《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家》的自由主義全球化思想倡導(dǎo)西式民主政治制度的普世性，其對人與人、人
與自然及國家與政府關(guān)系的界定已無法有效應(yīng)對全球性問題的挑戰(zhàn)。作為一種反思和批判的參照系，中國提出的“通變”、“和諧”的整體性思想主張“和而不同”，使生機(jī)勃勃的人類文明的多樣性成為可能；重視“陰陽互補(bǔ)”、“天人合一”，使人與人、人與自然之間有可能實(shí)現(xiàn)和諧相處。
　　中西文化各有所偏。日益擴(kuò)展的全球化進(jìn)程呼喚全球化研究者從雙方的傳統(tǒng)智慧中吸取養(yǎng)分。這是人類共存的現(xiàn)實(shí)選擇。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　1.2　The Economist's Globalization as a Metanarrative　　On the basis of narrotology， this study labels The Economist's globalization as a metanarrative， a concept introduced by French philosopher and literarytheorist Jean-Francois Lyotard in his work The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge. A metanarrative， or grand narrative， or master narrative， is a global narrative schema which tells a big story of progress through universal human reason， or grand， all-encompassing theories. It is a particular type of narrative which focalizes a particular type of culture. For the metanarrative of The Economist's globalization， this means that the West has been the focalizor or focalized subject who comes to narrate， through what it sees as universal truth， a coherent system of interrelated and sequentially organized stories that demonstrate rhetorical desire to control the world. It presents a vision of the world. The focalized subject should be the whole globe but is discursively only a particular part of the globe. Globalization discourse is thus deeply embedded in the Western culture. It is Western globalization.　　There has been increasing skepticism from poststructuralists toward the totalizing nature of the metanarrative of globalization and its reliance on some form of transcendent and universal truth. Lyotard and many other thinkers criticize the attempts to construct grand theories for three main reasons: First， the intention of constructing universal values tends to dismiss the naturally existing chaos and disorder of the universe. Second， a metanarrative is not to be trusted because it is created and reinforced by the power structure， ignoring the heterogeneity of human existence. 　　……
