当代文化研究价值取向探析

On the Value Orientation of Contemporary Cultural Studies

20世纪90年代以来,随着大众文化、消费文化的兴起,一些学者从西方引进文化研究。文化研究的引进与本土实践,使当代中国文学研究走向文化研究。在价值取向上,文化研究致力于揭示各类文学文化现象背后所隐藏的各种复杂的权力与利益关系,以揭开茏罩在各类文学文化现象身上的阶层、性别、种族等各种意识形态面纱。这种价值取向使当代中国文学批评的价值立场走向大众化、平民化,有助于重申文学的政治维度,发挥文学干预现实的功能,却也造成文学政治功能的泛化以及对文学审美价值的遮蔽。

Since the 1990s,with the rise of popular culture and consuming culture,some scholars have introduced cultural studies from the West.The introduction of cultural studies and their local practice make the study of contemporary Chinese literature move towards cultural studies.In terms of value orientation,cultural studies are committed to revealing the complex power and interest relations hidden behind various literary and cultural phenomena,so as to uncover the ideological veil shrouded in various literary and cultural phenomena,such as class,gender,race and so on.This value orientation makes the value position of contemporary Chinese literary criticism popular and popular,which helps to reiterate the political dimension of literature and give full play to the function of literary intervention in reality.However,it also causes the generalization of literary political function and the concealment of the aesthetic value of literature.
