摘要
文化研究中所说的文化,指的是宽泛意义上的文化,它应当被看作是一个表意的系统,是意义的生产、传播和消费。文化研究的兴趣,并不在于探寻“文本”的那个“单一的”、“本质的”、被承诺的意义,而在于“文本”的“社会”意义,以及它如何被挪用、又如何被应用在日常生活的消费实践之中。霸权通过意义的流传得以生效,意义的流传又可以加强统治和服从。应该在文化与权力的关系中思考文化。
Cultural studies works with an inclusive definition of culture, in which culture is referred to as a signifying system, through which meaning is produced,transmitted and consumed. What interests cultural studies is not the ＂singular＂, ＂essential＂ and guaranteed meaning, but the ＂social＂ meanings of a ＂text＂, and how these meanings are appropriated and used in the consumption practices of everyday life. Hegemony works through the circulation of meanings which reinforce dominance and subordination. Culture is also a contradictory mix of forces. We should think about culture from its relationship to power.
