중국 주류 지식인의 과거 대면의 방식과 문혁담론 비판- 문화대혁명 발생 50주년을 바라보며

Abstract

This article is intended to remind of the fact that historical clarification through discourse for it has not yet been made, despite 50 years passed since the Cultural Revolution happened. In particular, the possibility that the collective experience of the pilinpikong(批林批孔) may have acted as the mechanism to limit the imagination of China's intellectuals should be noted. To think freely with a normal mentality, now China's intellectuals should seriously discourse the aporia, even the trauma, of the Cultural Revolution. In China, the Cultural Revolution that is already represented as the equality of Mao era has become an important part of the theory of China model. Therefore, it can not be denied that the theory of China model as a ‘new state ideology’ is the theoretical result through the process of window-dressing for economic growth in the post. So look, the appearance of discourse about the Cultural Revolution under the public-private partnership deserves to be called ‘21st century reconstruction of the Cultural Revolution’ beyond the level of ‘forgetting Agreement’ to close the complex past affairs for economic growth. Although the Cultural Revolution had been formally criticized by ‘history resolutions’ of the Chinese Communist Party in 1981, criticism of it was prohibited through Capitalism-strengthen policies of Deng Xiaoping’s regime after ‘Tiananmen incident’. In other words, the Cultural Revolution is discoursed in a thoroughly commercial and recreational context under the merchandising strategy of communism. Thus de-politicizing and de-ideologizing of the Cultural Revolution is made in cooperation with market capacity and state power. In this atmosphere, whereas cultural revolution has been the subject of cultural consumption, it could never be the subject of reflection. Becoming a part of the theory of Chinese model again in the wake of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Cultural Revolution has never been the subject of introspective discourse.
