在这篇文章中,将试图详细阐述一个理论的媚俗,免除传统的层次框架内,媚俗往往是理解。避免文化研究的平民主义方法和大众文化理论家的精英主义方法,提出了一个独特的媚俗美学,采用重复,模仿和模仿的主题作为一种独特的美学风格。打破了传统的分析流行的习俗在品味的领域,使品味习惯与阶级身份(如皮埃尔·布迪厄提供),而是认为,重复的质量媚俗解决了现代性的一个普遍问题,即“脱离”,或破坏个人的社会和宇宙安全的视野(一个模型来自安东尼·吉登斯)。这一论点的基础是从传统的媚俗理论的重建,虽然提供了说明性的案例。
In this article, an attempt will be made to elaborate a theory of kitsch that dispenses with the traditional hierarchical framework within which kitsch is often understood. Avoiding both the populist approach of cultural studies, and the elitist approach of mass culture theorists, an argument is made for a uniquely kitsch aesthetic that employs the thematics of repetition, imitation and emulation as a distinct aesthetic style. Breaking from traditional analyses of popular conventionality in the realm of taste which aligns taste habits with class identities (such as that offered by Pierre Bourdieu), it is argued instead that the repetitive quality of kitsch addresses a general problem of modernity, that of ‘disembeddedness’, or the undermining of personal horizons of social and cosmic security (a model drawn from Anthony Giddens). The basis of this argument is drawn from a reconstruction of traditional theories of kitsch, though illustrative cases are offered.
