摘要
Hofstede在研究中发现,任何文化都能在个体主义—集体主义这一维度上找到各自的位置,它是文化比较中最重要的一维,是打开中西文化的一把钥匙。中美流行歌曲所折射出的中美文化差异,主要是理想主义—现实主义和行动主义—消极主义的差异,而行动主义—消极主义又可以用来解释两国文化在个人与自然的关系,对过去、现在和未来的态度以及自我表现等方面的差异。
Hofstede finds in his research that any culture can find its place from the scale of individual- collectivism′ s cultural dimension, which, as the most important dimension in the comparison of cultures, is a key to cultures of China and the West. The various differences of Chinese and Western cultures can find overt or covert evidence from individual or collectivism. The present paper compares the cultures of China and the United States via their pop songs. In the course of the comparison, Hfstede′ s theory of individualism- Collectivism is employed to elucidate some particular differences- - , chiefly the differences between idealism and realism and between action- ism and passivism. In the two cultures, actionism- passivism can give light to the differences of the relations between humans and the nature, the different attitudes towards the past, present and future and the differences of self- display.
