欧洲文化工业批判之路径

欧洲的文化工业批判至今经过了三个阶段:本雅明的技术肯定阶段、法兰克福学派的意识形态否定阶段、英国的文化研究肯定阶段。每一个阶段既是对文化工业真相的揭示,又是人类对文化工业认识成果的总结,它意味着人类对文化工业这一现象的认知处于不断上升的过程之中。但是,仅就欧洲学术界对文化工业的研究状况来看,这三个阶段只能算作文化工业研究的一个小小周期的完成,就形式看比较完满,而就内容看则有许多需要完善之处。

The Progress of European Culture Industry Criticism

The European culture industry criticism has so far experienced three stages as follows: Benjamin's technology affirmative stage,Frankfurt school's ideology negative stage and England's culture research affirmative stage.Every stage is not only the revealment of the truth of culture industry, but also the summary of human's cognitive achievement of culture industry,which means human's cognitive achievement of culture industry is in the rising process.However,from the perspective of European academic circle's research condition of culture industry,these three stages can only be considered as a small accomplishment of culture industry research whose form is complete but whose contents still need further perfection.
