本文就人类生活的沟通面向,参照社会生产、意识形态文本和受众消费间的相互关 系,重构阿多诺文化工业概念的知识系谱。阿多诺被压抑的经典在批判媒介研究三个不 同但相互关联的继承者间既延续且中断:(1)哈贝马斯在讨论公共圈和沟通互动时提出的主体间的正当性;(2)霍尔意识型态的构连理论中的客观表征;(3)批判受众研究理论化权力与身份中的主观诠释。这个系谱始于质疑在反启蒙文化工业中真切沟通的不可能,终于 赞许在隔离与沟通的辩证中解放的主体性。

The paper reconstructs an intellectual genealogy of Adorno’s concept of culture industry with reference to interrelationships between social production, ideological text, and audience consumption in the communicative aspects of human lives. Adorno’s repressed classic is continued and discontinued by three distinctive yet interrelated descendants in critical media studies:(1) Habermas’s intersubjective legitimacy in his discussion of public sphere and communicative interaction;(2)Hall’s objective representation in his articulation theory of ideology;and (3)critical audience studies’ notion of subjective interpretation in the theorization of power and identity. This genealogy begins with the problematic of questioning the impossibility of authentic communication in anti-enlightenment culture industry, and ends with the celebration of the liberating subjectivity in the dialectic of isolation and communication.
