本文在都市脈絡中,討論文化權利的多重性及其隱含的爭辯、限制和可能。首先,作者探討城市概念和文化權概念的多重性,指出文化權具有普同論和特殊論兩種內涵,以及制度面和價值面兩種操作模式,彼此支持又相互衝突,因而需要在各方之間從事翻譯。其次,文化權的概念和運作無法脫離政治、經濟與社會場域,以及其他權利領域;這種鑲嵌和互動的狀態,既是其限制,也是可能性的根源。第三,在都市文化治理的趨勢下,文化權既是治理與規訓權力的策略性工具,具有淨化綏靖效果,也是進步力量得以挪用的抵抗依據。最後,本文主張,必須將文化權納入爭取城市權的社會轉型計畫。中,方能發揮文化權的積極作用。
The article discusses the multiplicity of cultural right and its implicit debates, constraints and possibilities in the urban context. First, the author explores the multiple implications of the concepts of city and cultural right, suggesting that translation is needed among different implications. There are two connotations, universalism and particularism, in the concept of cultural right with both institutional and value-oriented modes of operation which are mutually supportive and conflicting at the same time. Secondly, the concept and operation of cultural right are embedded in the political, economic and social fields , as well as other kinds of right, and this situation results in both limitations and possibilities. Furthermore, under the trend of urban cultural governance, the cultural right is not only a strategic tool for governing and disciplinary power with effects of purification and appeasement, but also the basis of resistance to be appropriated by progressive forces. Finally, the author argues that the cultural right concept must be incorporated into social transformation projects for rights to the city in order to realize its active potential.
