文化产业与大众文化--正本清源与理论梳理的尝试

文化作为一种产业是不应该受到怀疑的.大众文化特指20世纪以来由文化产业制作的诸如电影、广告、流行音乐、通俗小说、电视节目等文化产品.文化产业与大众文化难分难解.文化产业的所有弊端,尤其是内容上的粗鄙、平庸及媚俗,也是大众文化本身的毛病.

The Industry of Culture and Mass Culture--an Attempt of Thorough Reform and Theoretical Administration

There should be no doubt that culture is an industry. The mass culture specifically refers to the cultural products produced by the industry of culture since the twentieth century, such as films, advertisements, popular music, common novels, and TV programs. The industry of culture can hardly be detached from the mass culture. So all the disadvantages of the industry of culture, the vulgar mediocre content and the curry favor with popularity, in particular, are likely to be the problems of mass culture.
