The Research Of Theory Of Jameson's Ideology

In the 60 s of the 20 th century,with the development of science and technology and the promotion of the productivity level,people's material living needs have been satisfied unprecedentedly,and the trend of materialistic desire is becoming popular.At the same time,commercialization,visualization and spatialization are the original pose and characteristics of culture.Enclosed in this social and cultural atmosphere,Marxist ideological theory has been questioned and challenged.It is based on the reflection and criticism of culture of the post-modern society.Jameson regarded the maintenance of the Marxism ideological theory as his own responsibility.he constructed his ideology theory of from the perspective of hermeneutics.As a Marxist scholar,Jameson deeply analyzed Marx's ideology theory and resumed the basic characteristics of ideology theory from the standpoint of historical materialism,launched a complete negation of ideological illusion from the dimension of thought to reality,therefore the surveying and mapping of cognition was regarded as the code of “class consciousness”,awakened the proletariat from the dimension of critical subject.Then Jameson drew views from the viewpoint of the psychoanalytic school and explored the origin and the real motivation of things in the political field of a subconscious mind,exposed the potential unconscious thought of the political groups.In addition,he absorbed the theory of western Marxist ideology and excavated the negative function of ideology according to the thought of ideology of Gramsci,Althusser and Adorno,all these were for the goal of restoring the vitality of traditional ideology theory.Because of Jameson's unique analysis of ideology that formed his ideological system.In the context of post-modern society,Jameson constructed a bridge between postmodernism and Marxism,and was trying to combine Marxist critical thinking with postmodernism culture.Jameson reconstructed the logical premise of the postmodern Marxist ideology of hermeneutics from the critical analysis of the “cultural text” of the Frankfurt school and “revision” of the traditional Marxist theory,thus built three analytical perspectives of hermeneutics.The ultimate appeal is to restore the indispensable function of Marx's ideology in the background of post-modern society.This is in agreement with the theoretical characteristics of Marxism of keeping pace with The Times.Jameson moved from “theory building” further to the theory of“self-argument”.Jameson analyzed the logic of the cultural development highlighted by the development stages of capitalism by his hermeneutics of the postmodern Marxist ideology.Thus,it proved the vitality of the theory of postmodern Marxist ideology and also expanded the space of the progress of western postmodernism.Second,Jameson realized the essence of the logic of capital hided in the logic of the capitalist culture,he constructed the theory of “surveying and mapping of cognition^[1]” by the usage of postmodern Marxist ideology and cherished the aim of “looking forward to the process of proletarianization globally”.The nature of surveying and mapping of cognition constructed by Jameson were the codes of “class consciousness “,he hoped to see the awakening of the oppressed groups in the late period of the capitalist society by the surveying and mapping of cognition,establish the political union against the system,In this way,the society will move in the direction of free individual combo.Due to the era and the difference between the theoretical horizon and purport among different people,it is not hard for us to find that some existing differences between the ideological thought of Jameson and Marxist ideology.The limitations of his thinking are inevitable.There existed deviation in the understanding of Marx's text,there was also a lack of thoroughness of political unconscious revolution,both the imaginative construction of surveying and mapping of cognition which used to arouse the class consciousness and the blue print of revolution were rather abstract,they all lack of the practical operability.Despite all this,Jameson expanded the study vision of ideology,it is helpful for us to view the post-modern culture dialectically and to explore good political resources in the view of political unconsciousness,it deserves reference in the process of ideological construction of China's new era.
