论“文化霸权”理论与文化研究的关系及现实意义

Relations and Speculation between Cultural Hegemony and Cultural Studies

"文化霸权"理论原是共产党人葛兰西为阐发革命观念而创立的政治理论,后却于文化研究领域绽放奇彩,引发了惹人注目的"葛兰西转向"。由此,不难揣测,文化霸权与文化研究二者在相关层面上必然存在着某种契合。为对文化霸权与文化研究之间关系有一个更清晰的认识,并对新世纪我国大众文化的发展提供一些启示,有必要在对文化霸权理论有一个基本了解的前提下进入文化研究领域,以"文化主义"与"结构主义"为视域背景,去探索霸权理论、文化主义和结构主义在大众文化内涵上的差异,以明确葛兰西转向的意义。

The theory of Cultural hegemony was established by Antonio Gramsci,who was a communist. As a result,cultural hegemony was a theory originally used to help the working class to lead a revolution. However,the theory of cultural hegemony did make a great difference in the field of cultural studies,bringing about the dramatic Gramsci Turn. Thus,it is not hard to guess,there must exist some relations between cultural hegemony and cultural studies. In order to have a more apparent understanding on the relations of cultural hegemony and cultural studies,and to provides some good suggestions to the development of mass culture in China,it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of the concept of cultural hegemony,to step into the the vision of cultural studies and structuralism,and to explore the different connotations of popular cultrue given by Cultural hegemony,culturalism and structuralism,acquiring the significances of the Gramsci Turn.
