在当前蔚成风气的物质文化研究中,马克思主义是一个重要的理论枢纽,也是物质文化研究诸分支思想交汇和方法分野的场域。商品是马克思主义理论的关键概念,也是物质文化研究的重心所在。从马克思对作为客体的商品的生产-消费分析到卢卡奇的物化理论和法兰克福学派的批判理论,商品/客体与人的二元对立关系不断突显,伯明翰学派的文化唯物主义的文化研究转向,视商品消费为大众文化的组成部分,为物质文化研究的兴起铺平了道路。物质文化研究重新思考人与物、物质与文化之间的关系,旨在确立人与物和谐共存的新观念,在此过程中,马克思主义理论在不同路径上的演进及其思想成果作为物质文化研究者批判的对象和继承的先驱,深刻地塑造了当前物质文化研究的思想面貌和方法范式。 Marxism is an important theoretical hub in the contemporary research of the material culture, and it is also a field where the branches of thought and methods of material and cultural studies converge. Commodity is the key concept of Marxist theory, but also the focus of material culture research. From Marx’s analysis of production-consumption of goods as object to Lukacs materialization theory and Frankfurt School’s critical theory, the dichotomy between commodity and object constantly emerges, the cultural studies of Birmingham school’s cultural materialism turn to be more and more complicated, Depending on the consumption of commodities as an integral part of mass culture, paving the way for the rise of material culture research. Material culture research rethinks the relationship between human beings and things, material and culture, aiming to establish a new concept of harmonious coexistence between people and things. In this process, the evolution of Marxist theory on different paths and its ideological achievements as material culture The object of criticism and the pioneer of succession of researchers profoundly shape the ideology and method paradigm of current research on material culture.
