Abstract: Since the 1960s, in the context of “Westward Movement of East Learning”, the French radical left-wing literary theories with Althusser, Badiou, Žižek, Rancière and Balibar as the backbone have continuously accepted and interpreted Mao Zedong Thought (including Mao Zedong's literary and artistic thought), which promoted the formation of Althusser's structrualist Marxist literary theory and contemporary French radical left-wing literary theory. Mao Zedong's revolutionary theories such as contradiction theory, mass line, the relationship between literature and politics, people's literature and art have been regarded as the main theoretical innovation resources by the French left, and have fully penetrated into their ideological system and literary theory practice. Althusser, Badiou and Žižek further innovated the materialist dialectics on the basis of accepting Mao Zedong's “On Contradiction”, but there are still some deviations in the reception. Rancière turned to the study of workers during "Mai 68", he deeply absorbed Mao Zedong's theories of mass line, political views on literature and art. We can see the contemporary echoes of people's literature and art of Mao Zedong in Rancière's theories of political dissensus, distribution of the sensible and literary politics. Of course, the Maoism recognized by the radical left in France can't be completely equated with the Maoism in China. It means that we can also find inheritance and innovation, correct reading and misreading during “Westward Movement of East Learning”.

Key words: French radical left, Mao Zedong thought, theory of contradictions, people's literature and art

摘要: 1960年代至今,在“东风西进”的语境下阿尔都塞、巴迪欧、齐泽克、朗西埃、巴里巴尔等为中坚的法国激进左翼文论不断地接受和阐释毛泽东思想(包括毛泽东文艺思想),这促进形成了阿尔都塞的结构主义马克思主义文论和当代法国激进左翼文论。毛泽东的矛盾论、群众路线、文艺与政治、人民文艺等革命理论被法国左翼当作主要的理论创新资源,充分渗透进了他们的思想体系和文论实践中。阿尔都塞、巴迪欧和齐泽克在持续接受和诠释毛泽东《矛盾论》的基础上,进一步创新了唯物辩证法,不过其中有正读也有误读。而朗西埃则在“五月风暴”中转向工人研究,深度吸收了毛泽东的群众路线和文艺政治观。我们在朗西埃的政治歧义、感性分配和文学政治中能够看到毛泽东人民文艺的当代回响。当然,法国左翼眼中的毛主义不能完全与中国语境中的毛泽东思想画等号,这样“东风西进”过程中就存在着对毛泽东思想的继承和创新、正读和误读。
