自從鄧小平南巡加速中國經改的步調之後，資本邏輯戰勝國家邏輯之說不徑而走。學院知識界以及大眾傳媒界經常引用後社會主義中國的個案，來引證跨國主義此一理論範疇的共相性。本文引入「國家」與「政策」這兩個新範疇來質疑「跨國」理論思維之有效性。將政策與國家概念引入當代中國大眾文化研究，意在突破「市場」與「跨國文化」說的雙控導向，提供了複雜的理論新視域。本文以 1995 年中國雙休日工作制的政策為地點，(1) 討論當代中大眾休閒文化的政治經濟學；(2) 引介一個以政策學與文化研究相結合的理論方案，來突破經典馬克斯主義與後冷戰自由主義慣有的二元論的思維方式；(3) 闡釋後 1992 年以來後社會主義中國國家話語的轉軌。

　　　　　Since 1992 when Deng Xiaping sped up China's economic restructuring, the logic of capital is said to have usurped that of the state. The Chinese case was often cited in critical literature to validate the efficacy of transnationality as a universal paradigm. This essay problematizes the explanatory power of this paradigm by reinserting the analytical tropes of "state" and "policy" back into a Chinese popular cultural studies that is being increasingly dominated by the tropes of "market" and "transationalism." Taking China's 1995 double-leisure-day policy as a point of entry, this essay (1) offers a new political economy of contemporary Chinese popular culture; (2) introduces a theoretical program of a combined policy studies and cultural studies that circumvents the binary mode of thinking characteristic of both classical Marxism and post-Cold-War liberalism; (3) elucidates the transformation of the state discourse in post-socialist China since 1992.
