"文化研究"理论与中国文化史研究

作为一门交叉学科,文化史研究既要关注史学理论,也要重视文化理论,而借助欧美研究方法对大众文化进行研究所形成的“文化研究”理论,对于中国的当代史学特别是文化史学科的建设,具有不可忽视的意义。“文化研究”理论的引入,有助于中国文化史研究整体结构、整体格局的变化,有益于中国文化史研究主题的拓展、研究领域的增长、研究重心的转移,有利于文化史研究者思维方式的更新;同时,也必须注意中西社会历史背景、文化语境的差异。

Commentating Research-on-Culture Theory and Research on Chinese Cultural History

As an interdisciplinary study,the cultural history research needs us to put emphasis on the history theory,and cultural theory as well.But research-on-culture theory,which carries on the research on popular culture with the aid of European and American research techniques,is of noticeable significance in Chinese contemporary history and the construction of cultural history discipline.The introduction of research-on-culture theory gives great benefit to the changes of overall structure and pattern of Chinese cultural history research,to the extension of the research subject and shift of the study emphasis,and the thought renewal of the researchers.Meanwhile,much attention should be paid to the differences among social and historical background and the cultural linguistic context.
