流行文化研究与文化社会学领域有着长期而密切的关系，它既是该领域的一个子范畴，也是其他学科所从事的一个独立的竞技场。本文探讨了塑造流行文化社会学的知识传统，追溯了社会学家和其他研究流行文化的学者之间的联系和区别，并认为文化社会学对于解决“流行”领域内的关键问题和担忧仍然具有相关性。这些发展包括新媒体/通信技术的兴起以及流行文化与社会生活其他领域之间日益相互依存。
The study of popular culture has a long and intimate relationship to the field of cultural sociology, being both a subcategory of the field and a separate arena of inquiry taken up by other disciplines. This article examines the intellectual traditions that have shaped the sociology of popular culture, traces the points of connection and difference between sociologists and other scholars studying popular culture, and argues for the continued relevance of cultural sociology for addressing key issues and concerns within the realm of “the popular,” broadly conceived. These developments include the rise of new media/communication technologies and the increasing interdependence between popular culture and other arenas of social life.
