Paradigm Shift Of Modern Chinese Political Discourse

As the core concept of the dissertation, political discourse expresses an inevitable complex procedure ,through which an notion turns into reality .The start point of the process , the notion firstly must "grasp the masses", namely identifying the nature of human in order to maintain or destroy the human self-consciousness in a specific political system, and to which arose the masses' loyalty or rebellion. According to such logic ,this concept try to grasp more actively the interaction among society modality political system and ideology, and study the meaning of changing of modern China's society modality and political system.This dissertation is divided into five chapters. According to the historical clues, it studies the transition paradigms of political discourse in modern China society. The first chapter describes a draft of the construction of the traditional political discourse in an extremely brief way, which is as the start point of my argument. Where human society and state share a highly similar construction, into which a moral order dominates. Thus arranging the political order is located on the bifurcation of justice and desire in human nature, and tries to achieve the perfect political order by imbuing with Confucianism. The point is that traditional political discourse was disabled to provide with the imaging to resolve the crisis resulted from western imperialism rushing into the traditional Chinese society. Therefore, after having absorbed Marxism, the CCP has formed a new political discourse whose keyword is class.The second chapter studies the revolution leaded by the CCP, along with the class discourse. The class discourse considers that human nature depends on their class position and interest. The reason that class discourse can "grasp the masses" and have a huge political mobilization lies essentially on that it does grasp the masses call for the real interest, and by which to satisfy their interest need, arouse their class consciousness and thus agreeing to the CCP political target. Obviously, the transition from notion to reality is far from the completeness and clear of theory. On the other hand, the class discourse as notion tried to put the real revolutionary process into orbit as well.The third chapter discusses that the CCP remolded the human and constructed the society modality. The action of remolding human aimed at not only class position, but includes the class consciousness based on class position. Aberrant from the object criterion, class discourse spread allover the society. On the other hand, the revolutionary logic of class discourse carried out the construction of the new society modality. Therefore, the process of producing was considered as the process of class struggle, in which people were classified as the revolutionary or counterrevolutionary class. As long as keep pace with the class struggle, revolutionary can conquer any difficulty to carry on the producing revolution.Revolution has its logic, construction has its law. So in different period, there is a need for different political discourse system. However, after the CCP successfully captured the regime, they failed to transit the political discourse in time. The cardinal reason lies in that the state dominates in the relationship between state and society, at the meanwhile, the leaders of the CCP over-optimistic anticipate for the speed of socialist construction. In the view of the CCP, the class struggle played an essential role all the time. But, the identification of class removed from objective criterion to minds and sentiments of human, the pattern of class struggle had an magnificent impression on socialist construction. According to the CCP view, the state led by the party represented the basic interest of the masses. Compared with the shorten interest originated from a narrow field of vision of the mass, it was far more great and sublime. So, to keep arousing the class consciousness became the way of leading the masses to sublime to the state's total interest. Moreover, confronted with resistance, the leaders of the party adopted the tactics of class struggle. Any opposition faction was all regarded as counterrevolutionary, whom was criticized and overthrown. The Great Culture Revolution as a political turmoil, seriously damage the human nature. Proving that the tactics was successful, the CCP built a model of socialist 'NEW MAN', who obeyed the command of the party without a little bit private interest. The part is the brief content of chapter 4.The fifth chapter focuses on the paradigms transition of the CCP political discourses since 1978. This indicates that the CCP has alreadysaid farewell to the revolution political discourse thoroughly, and create a new logical political discourse, of which the essential part is citizen. Then we can draw the conclusion: A successful transition of a society must be along with the relative paradigms transition of discourse system. And this also revealed the deep transition of the CCP itself.
