当代中国青年文化的回顾与反思

Review and reflection on the youth culture in contemporary China

我国当代青年文化出现于 1 976年。 2 5年来 ,青年文化在话语方式、表现形式、与主流文化的关系、指向性和自身构成等方面都有较大的变化。当前的青年文化 ,政治性、社会指向性都呈现弱化的态势 ,表演性和其中包含的青年个体意识则显著增强。从总体上说 ,我国的青年文化不仅是代际性文化 ,也是阶层性文化。

The youth culture in contemporary China appeared in 1976. There has been much change in discourse mode, representational form, relation with dominating culture, referential orientation, self-configuration, and so on. We can find a weakening trend in the political nature and the social orientation for contemporary youth. On the contrary, the characteristics of performance and the youth's individual consciousness at this aspect have increasingly become stronger than ever before. In general, Chinese youth culture is not only a type of generation culture, but also a hierarchical one.
