摘要: 理查德·霍加特的《识字的用途》开创了文化研究跨学科性的基本研究范式,其核心在于:从社会生活之“活的文化”出发,研究文学文本,尤其是要研究通俗文化的文本如何影响和塑造人们(特别是工人阶级)的日常生活,而不是研究那些由专家、学者们确定的“经典文学作品”的文本。按照这一宗旨,文化研究的跨学科性在其起源上就决定了它与文学、通俗文化和社会学的亲缘关系,而且在实质上构成了文学研究的一条新路径,即有别于正统和经典文学研究的路径。这条路径带有鲜明的阶级、政治、性别和意识形态的色彩。

Abstract: Richard Hoggart's Uses of Literacy established the basic paradigm for the interdisciplinary nature of the cultural studies, and its essential principle is to start from the "living culture" of social life, to study literary texts, especially the texts of popular culture rather than to study the texts of "classic literary works" determined by some experts and scholars, and to find how the texts influence and shape the everyday life of people (especially the working class). This purpose of cultural studies has entailed its genetic relationship with literature, popular culture and sociology, and in essence constituted a new way of literary studies quite different from the orthodox and classic way of literary studies. This way of literary studies has taken on its distinctive colors of class, politics, gender and ideology.
