摘要

最近的研究表明，政治两极化已经蔓延到社会生活的其他平凡领域。然而，政治极化蔓延到大众文化领域的规模、形式和深度却普遍不为人知。我们以 135 部广为人知的电影、电视节目、音乐家、体育运动和休闲活动为样本，对这些问题进行了调查。我们发现，两极分化在大众文化中的 "溢油 "规模很大，但松散地组织成多个相当浅的池塘。文化极化也是不对称的。自由主义者喜欢各种各样的流行文化，并不讨厌保守主义的流行文化，而且他们的品味更植根于他们的社会人口统计。另一方面，保守派喜欢的流行文化范围要窄得多，不喜欢黑人和城市自由派创造和喜欢的文化，他们的品味似乎更直接地植根于他们的政治意识形态。本文讨论了不对称文化战争的潜在影响以及未来研究的思路。

The Polarization of Popular Culture: Tracing the Size, Shape, and Depth of the “Oil Spill”

Recent research suggests that political polarization has spilled over into otherwise mundane areas of social life. And yet, the size, shape, and depth of that spillage into popular culture are generally unknown. Relying on a sample of 135 widely known movies, TV shows, musicians, sports, and leisure activities, we investigate these issues. We find the “oil spill” of polarization into popular culture is large but loosely organized into multiple fairly shallow pools. Cultural polarization is also asymmetric. Liberals like a wide variety of popular culture, do not dislike conservative popular culture, and their tastes are more rooted in their sociodemographics. Conservatives, on the other hand, like a much narrower range of popular culture, dislike the culture created and liked by Black and urban liberals, and their tastes seem to be more directly rooted in their political ideology. Potential implications of an asymmetric culture war, and ideas for future research, are discussed.
