青年文化的变奏:从“青年的反叛”到“青春审美”的文化消费

Variations of Youth Culture: From Youth Rebellion to the Cultural Consumption of Youth Aesthetic

二十世纪,青年的生活方式和青年问题成为公众关注的焦点。在西方社会,各种由青年人领导与参与的"青年反叛"思潮对社会历史产生了严重的影响,但是在二十世纪六十年代之后,这种青春风潮急剧转向一种消费性的文化行为。虽然青年成为二十世纪中国历史舞台上的重要角色,但是中国社会与文化并没有为青年提供应有的社会认同与文化空间。具有反抗意识的"青年亚文化"、高雅的文化与流行文化相互杂糅,构成了当代中国青年的文化食粮。尤其流行文化抓住青少年特有的文化需求和渴望自我个性的身份表达,成就了当代中国社会娱乐文化的泛青春化品性。

In Twentieth century, youth lifestyle and youth issues become the focus of public attention. In Western society, the youth rebellion ideologies leaded and participated by young people have seriously affected social history, but after the 1960s, the youth storms rapidly transformed into a consumer behavior. While youth is an important role on the twentieth century Chinese history stage, but Chinese society and culture does not provide youth with their social identity and cultural space. The hybridity of resistance sub-culture, elegant cultural and popular cultures constitute the culture food of contemporary Chinese youth. In particular, popular culture which seize the unique cultural needs and individual expression aspirations of young people achieves the pan- youth-oriented entertainment of contemporary Chinese entertainment cultural.
