簡介｜
近年來，我一直反省「文化」觀念如何在不同學科範疇裡被吸收從而產生意義和效能;我的主要目的並非 探討文化觀念本身的內容彈性或變化的可能性，而是要檢討學科本身的製度性自我支配及其對“文化研 究”理論和形塑的可能所造成的偏狹性和非理性化。換言之，文化研究表面上看來是各種文化理論所主 張的研究實踐，其實它原本是學科本位主義所導致的套裝模式，其中文化觀念只不過扮演附屬角色而已。
筆者認為文化研究應該可以是一個理念想像與批判主體性結合，其間有密切互動的學問，但其在認識論 及方法論上的突破都等待著學科的重新思考而且必須建立在該新學科想像的基礎上。因此，我的研究興 趣朝著三個面向進行:
（一）現代性與後殖民主義知識，
（二）全球化狀況下的跨國主義霸權及地方抗爭，
（三）文化的多元性發展和社 會階級過程。
開設課程與可發展的研究計畫──
■古典社會文化理論與思想史，批判主體性與文化政治。
■現代民族國家，國族主義，跨國主義，後國家理論。
■歷史人類學和社會變遷：跨學科的方法論。
■華人社會與“華性”：文化形塑中的社會建構和個體意識。
