“感觉结构”是英国新左派理论家雷蒙·威廉斯文化唯物主义理论中的一个关键概念。该概念是对“个体—社会”二元对立所带来的现代性问题的一种理论回应,但也同样体现出它自身作为一个现代性框架之下的解决方案的固有困难。换言之,威廉斯试图用感觉结构来回答启蒙叙事的一个核心问题:人何以自由以及基于其上的人之交流何以可能?然而,现代性的叙事使他无法真正摆脱“个体—社会”视野。从而,感觉结构力图建立的共同体只能是威廉斯的一种调解性的理想构型。 “Feeling Structure ” is a key concept in Raymond Williams’s theory of cultural materialism as applied by the New Left theorists in Britain. This concept is a theoretical response to the question of the modernity brought about by the binary opposition of “individual social ”, but also reflects itself as an inherent difficulty in the solution under the modernity framework. In other words, Williams tried to use the structure of the senses to answer one of the core questions of the Enlightenment narrative: How is it possible for people to be free and to communicate based on them? However, the narrative of modernity has made him unable to truly escape from the “individual-social” perspective . Thus, the community in which the structure of feeling is intended to be constructed can only be a mediocre ideal configuration of Williams.
