The Trap of Western Cultural Imperialism from the Evolution of Western Mainstream Discourse
Cultural imperialism is not a question of pure discourse hegemony,but a question of hegemony expansion involving multiple dimensions.Firstly,cultural imperialism weaves the trap of the superiority of Western civilization with the cover of the mainstream discourse of"civilization hierarchy",dwarfing other human civilizations,including Chinese civilization.Secondly,cultural imperialism weaves the trap of the correctness of the western modernization road with the cover of the mainstream discourse of"capital modernization theory",and denies other modernization development models including the Chinese modernization road.Thirdly,cultural imperialism weaves the trap of the nobleness of western values with the help of the cover of the mainstream discourse of"universal value theory",and dispels the functions of socialist core values,such as uniting people's hearts and gathering people's strength.Fourth,cultural imperialism weaves the universal trap of the Western institutional system under the cover of the mainstream discourse of"the end of history",and obliterates the rationality of the existence of the socialist institutional system with Chinese characteristics.Fifth,cultural imperialism weaves the trap of extreme antagonism of human civilization with the cover of the mainstream discourse of"civilization conflict theory",and denies the possibility of harmonious coexistence of human civilization.Through the evolution of Western mainstream discourse,the logic of Western centralism and the logic of hegemonic behavior have always been implemented,making it a theoretical support for imperialism to maintain its own rule and continue to promote the expansion of hegemony.
