Post-Marxist left-wing trends of thought in Western society is an important part,have caused great controversy. After the controversy, scholars began with a peace ofmind to the Post-Marxist for comprehensive and detailed academic studies, Post-Marxistcultural theory as a research topic has been an important part of a Post-Marxist studies.Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe are post-Marxist figures, their "new culturalhegemony" theory is the pillar of Post-Marxist. Laclau and Mouffe "new culturalhegemony theory" comes from the Italy of Marxism theorist Antonio Gramsci’s "culturalhegemony". They aid of deconstruction, phenomenological, post daily analysis ofWittgenstein’s philosophy, Linguistics and theory of structural linguistics resources tointerpret Gramsci’s "cultural hegemony theory" and on that basis propose " new culturalhegemony " theory.The "new cultural hegemony" is the "cultural hegemony" go beyond, whichtranscends manifested in the "cultural leadership" and its essential philosophy on thedeconstruction and construction of the Foundation. Laclau and Mouffe think, single ofclass main has was multi of main position by replaced, class consciousness of weakeningand class struggle of dislocation is construction " new cultural hegemony" by faced ofsocial actual, social by dispersed sexual of main position and debris of of discoursestructure composed, so, led right not class hegemony, also not Gramsci’s "collectivewills", but discourse debris of contingency articulations. Post-Marxist discourseleadership is the core of "new cultural hegemony", and the discourse includes bothlanguage and non-verbal, is both a movement is no characterization of the significance ofthe changes of system in General. Discourse with Super language characteristics,physical characteristics and constructive features. Articulations can be made between thedifferent words, linking is no intrinsic logic, random, chance Association, the Associationis a practical activity, is based on fracture or deconstruction of meaning constructioncontingency. Society is full of such "articulations" and closed societies aren’t exist, it willalways be linked, that is, in discourse. Society leadership in the field of discourse is notpre-determined, but by the Word links and diversity in a pluralistic manner in the mainpositions in the field of social confrontation, and discourse structure in the confrontation are linked together by chance. Discourse underlying problem is political leadership,leadership discourse articulations with traditional Marxism as a universal class, theproletariat is completely different demise because it does not come from the national andpolitical reconciliation brought about the end of humanity’s last, on the contrary,articulations are fundamental political discourse of leadership. So, discourse led right has"special of universal", this "special of universal" is established in on special/General IIYuan opposing of subversion based above of, he just is refers to discourse led right is adiscourse relationship.On one hand, every principal position in constructing social structure of discourseare personalized, on the other hand, at the time of confrontation with the repressiveforces, a series of principal positions established equal relations between themselves,above and beyond such as chains of different actors to represent the entire position isnecessary, this representative is the discourse of leadership."Back to the hegemony in thefight" is the motto of Laclau and Mouffe post-Marxist, new culture’s main task is to makeculture battle field of the construction of the discourse of leadership, is change in ourcivilization construction to construct forms of identity and subjectivity in non-repetitive,unconventional, restore to "human-scale" of the United States. The "new culturalhegemony" provide a new direction for mass culture, mass culture is neither the rulingclass imposed on the ruling class by means of social control from the top down, norpowerful means to confront the ruling class culture from the bottom up control and allways of life, but rather a way to build a social difference and significance of fault on thebasis of chance word articulation.Laclau and Mouffe believe that Marxism had been trying to adapt to the realities ofthe contemporary world, alienated essentialism and all along the orbital motion, thesurpassing of Marxism is Marxism after "Supplement". Post-Marxist " new culturalhegemony" theory embodies the creative spirit of Marxist philosophy and itsanti-essentialism, class reductionism, the ideological tendencies of economicdeterminism is a powerful response to the dogmatic Marxist. However, this theory is inthe process of working out of essentialism and reductionism, which does not reallyescape the shadow of essentialism and reductionism, investigation of contemporaryWestern capitalist societies and Marx and Engels for investigation compared to prevailing social conditions, either in breadth or in depth and also there is a big gap. Wehave to do is: the point of view of Marxism studies of Marxist theory, thus enriching anddeveloping Marxist, using post-Marxist cultural theory to reassess the developmentdimensions of popular culture and open up a new direction for the study of PopularCulture.
