“公共领域”与文化公民权

"Public Sphere" and Culture Citizenship

文化研究在近些年来越来越关注政治经济学层面,在这样一个发展过程中,需要关注公民的文化公民权问题。如果哈贝马斯理想的"公共领域"能够得以建立的话,那么文化公民权也就可以得到充分的实现。哈贝马斯认为,"公共领域"在资本主义发展过程中,逐渐被政治和经济语言所劫持,公众享受文化发展成果的权利因此受到侵犯。哈贝马斯式的批判理想一方面可以制衡新媒体的市场理性,保持文化研究的批判性,另一方面在政治上也推动了公民权的建设与发展。

Culture study is increasingly involved in the political economy, during which we should pay much attention to culture citizenship. Culture citizenship would be fulfilled on the premise that Habermas＇ ideal ＂public sphere＂ can be built. He believes that, in the process of capitalist development, public sphere is gradually hi- jacked by politics and economics, and citizens＇ rights to enjoy cultural achievements would be violated. Such a humanistic ideal can balance market rationality of the new media and maintain the critical perspective of cultural studies on the one hand, and promote the construction and development of citizenship on the other hand.
