大众文化:传媒时代的公共领域

Popular Culture:the Public Sphere in the Era of Mass Communications

哈贝马斯的“公共领域”概念是建立在面对面交流的共同活动中,随着大众传媒的兴起,大众文化成为跨越时间和空间、阶级和阶层、性别和年龄的共享文化。大众媒介和大众文化取消的只是具有有限空间的公共领域,而建立的则是更为广大和开放的公共领域。

‘The public sphere＇ of Habermas is built on the activity of face -to -face communication. With mass communication arising, popular culture becomes common culture which is expanding beyond time and space, social class and social stratum, sex and age. What mass media and popular culture eliminate is only public sphere with limited space, but what they have established is an immense and open sphere.
