Whilst the Neoliberal alludes to an array of very real material practices and axioms of contemporary capitalism, the concept of Neoliberalism itself has arguably become moribund. Worse, perhaps it has become an asphyxiating and enervating monolith, a ‘ptolemization’ from which our critical thinking cannot escape. The key strategy of the article is to explore the Neoliberalism concept as a ‘mode of telling’, and how the constitutive moments of that concept have been discursively constructed into a hegemonic discursive formation. Whilst the resultant paradigm of Neoliberalism has ironically been constituted out of the identity-thinking and the synthetic historicizing of its very critics, the article searches for alternative avenues of reconstitutive deconstruction, so as to offer both critical optimism and a more effective means of struggle against the material practices of contemporary capitalism. To this end, I shall indicate how overdetermination in conceptualization provides the opportunity to break down identity-thinking and how articulation can translate the material elements of contemporary capitalism into fresh moments of a counter-hegemonic discourse.

努力超越新自由主义范式

虽然新自由主义暗示了当代资本主义的一系列非常真实的物质实践和公理，但新自由主义本身的概念可以说已经奄奄一息。更糟糕的是，也许它已经变成了一个令人窒息和衰弱的巨石，一种我们的批判性思维无法逃脱的“托勒密化”。这篇文章的关键策略是探索新自由主义概念作为一种“讲述模式”，以及该概念的构成时刻如何被话语建构为霸权话语形态。虽然由此产生的新自由主义范式具有讽刺意味的是由其批评者的身份思考和综合历史化构成，但本文寻找重建解构的替代途径，从而提供批判性的乐观主义和更有效的对抗当代资本主义物质实践的手段。为此，我将说明概念化中的过度决定如何提供打破身份思维的机会，以及表达如何将当代资本主义的物质元素转化为反霸权话语的新鲜时刻。
