大众阅读与经典的边缘化

Public Reading and the Marginalization of the Classics

大众阅读,是大众文化重要的接受形态之一,是指在大众社会的背景下、以大众传媒为载体,以大众文化为消费对象的新的阅读现象。大众阅读的对象一般具有消遣娱乐性、普通性和模仿性三个特点。大众阅读心理,呈现出快乐主义和享乐主义倾向。大众阅读取向亦表现出盲目性和趋同性。因此,从阅读对象到阅读心理,大众阅读都具有疏离经典的倾向,其盛行,使经典正在走向边缘化。而缺少经典的阅读,对于个人及社会而言,都是极为危险的。

Public reading is one of the important forms of popular culture acceptance. It is a new phenomenon with public society as background,taking public culture as consumer object,and mass media as the carrier. The objects of public reading generally have three characteristics： entertainment,publicity,and imitation. Public reading has psychological tendency of happiness and hedonism exhibition. It approaches blindness and convergence. Therefore,from any aspect,reading object or reading psychology,public reading threatens to alienate classics. The popularity of classics is marginalizing the classics. And the lack of classics is extremely dangerous for individuals and society.
