2、克思主義生產循環(huán)觀出發(fā)，探討了文化循環(huán)的模式，并將“表征”看作文化循環(huán)的主要環(huán)節(jié)加以論述。他指出， “表征”通過符號的意指性實踐來生產意義，構成了個體對于世界的意義系統(tǒng)，并且使得同文化中的個體以及不同文化的個體之間達成意義的交流，從這點來說， “表征”構建了我們的意義世界。 “表征”的具體運作方式有三種：反映論的、意向性的和構成主義的。 霍爾著重論述了構成主義的兩種途徑——符號學 （語言學） 和 “話語” 。前者主要植根于索緒爾語言學到

4、主義意識形態(tài)理論及經濟決定論的自覺抵抗和批判，體現了“表征”理論鮮明的文化政治色彩。從霍爾的理論整體來看， “表征”理論的提出與他對“接合”的看法有著重要的關系。這主要體現在： “表征”與“接合”都是根源于馬克思主義傳統(tǒng)之中，通過對葛蘭西主義、語言學、結構主義、文化人類學等多種理論的吸收、利用，而不斷成熟的； “表征”理論的核心問題也就是馬克思主義的核心問題； “表征”理論本身也可視為一種理論的“接合”實踐：它的形成也體現了從文化主義范
