作为马克思主义在文化批判领域的开拓者,法兰克福学派的大众文化批判理论具有不可否认的先导性和深远的影响力。该批判理论依托于激烈动荡的社会背景和多样的学术思潮,主要从经济、审美、意识形态三个维度对西方大众文化的虚假面目进行了揭露。深入研究法兰克福学派的大众文化批判理论内核及其局限,可以为我国的大众文化理论研究提供一种可能的批判模式,为反思中国当代纷繁复杂的社会文化现象补充特别的思考角度,并最终对我国新时代文化建设的推进起到一定的启示和指导作用。As the pioneer of Marxism in the field of cultural criticism, the Frankfurt School’s critical theory of popular culture has undeniable precedence and far-reaching influence. Relying on the turbulent social background and diverse academic trends, the critical theory exposes the false face of Western popular culture mainly from three dimensions: economic, aesthetic, and ideological. An in-depth study of the kernel of the Frankfurt School’s critical theory of popular culture and its limitations can provide a possible critical model for the study of popular culture theory in China, add a special angle of reflection on the complex social and cultural phenomena of contemporary China, and ultimately serve as a certain revelation and guidance for the advancement of the cultural construction of China’s new era.
