摘要

本文认为，在以英语为母语的西方媒体/文化研究传统中被概念化的大众文化概念正处于危机之中。许多批判性媒体/传播和文化研究学者继续接受的“大众”概念源于战后关于大众媒体的假设，这些假设不再准确地符合当前的条件。然而，这些假设的弹性创造了“流行文化问题”，这是当代学术界一系列复杂而长期的困境。本文记录了这一问题的几种表现，并建议学者们将流行文化一词保留为流行实践的实例。

The problem of popular culture

This article argues that concept of popular culture, as conceptualized within the media/cultural studies tradition in the Anglophone West, is in crisis. The idea of the “popular” that continues to be embraced by many critical media/communication and cultural studies scholars derives from postwar assumptions about mass media which no longer accurately fit present conditions. However, the resilience of these assumptions has created “the problem of popular culture,” a complicated and longstanding series of dilemmas for contemporary scholarship. This article documents several manifestations of this problem and proposes that scholars reserve the term popular culture for instances of popular practice.
