对当代大众文化本质特征的思考

Reflections on the Contemporary Popular Culture

大众文化势不可挡地冲击着我国社会。文化消费已成为一种时尚。货币经济社会形成了文化的商品属性。作为一种文化形式 ,大众文化还具有意识形态功能 ,它解构了传统文化中许多原始的价值。作为一种话语权力和一种生存方式 ,大众文化体现了自身的现实性 。

Popular culture strikes our country intensely, and the consumption of culture has always become a kind of fashion. There is profound social and economic reason. The society of money and economy forms the commodity property of culture. But popular culture is not ordinary commodity. As a kind of culture form, it also has a kind of ideology function. The consumption of popular culture deconstructes much primal value in traditional culture and our cognizant spirit demand. Whether it is seen as a word power or a manner of existance, the popular culture embodies its realism character. It is popular life logic, but not cultural logic that determines the development direction of popular culture. Popular culture embodies the taste of popular life, and it deconstructs relentlessly the utopia world of culture.
