Abstract

This chapter aims at investigating the relationship between popular culture, the recently dominant culture, and media intellectuals. Popular culture can be defined as daily practices preferred widely by the people. In fact, the term popular culture stems from the word, people, in English. Thus, it refers to a unification of supra-class experience of the majority. Due to its specific characteristics, popular culture stems from culture, mass, high, and folk culture, but it also reflects a more independent and common culture. It is modern, civic, entertaining, and close to consumption. It is also based on dominant values. Therefore, recent intellectuals, whom we cannot think apart from the media, play a significant role in the reproduction of popular culture. Those media intellectuals, a new and defining class, are fed from the popular culture and also contribute to widen this culture among masses. Media intellectuals are primary focal points affecting the system in terms of both consumption culture, daily life, and popular politics. Thus, one of the main actors of popular culture is media intellectuals. Such concepts and the relationships among them will be discussed in this study along with their daily examples, and the role of media intellectuals in reproducing popular culture will be analyzed by means of literature review.

大众文化与媒体知识分子

本章旨在探讨流行文化、最近的主流文化和媒介知识分子之间的关系。通俗文化可以定义为人们普遍喜欢的日常活动。事实上，流行文化这个词源于英语中的“人”这个词。因此，它指的是大多数人的超阶级经验的统一。大众文化由于其特殊性，既源于文化、大众、高雅、民俗文化，又反映了一种更加独立、普遍的文化。它是现代的、市民的、娱乐的、接近消费的。它也建立在主流价值观的基础上。因此，我们不能脱离媒介来思考的近代知识分子在大众文化的再生产中起着重要的作用。这些媒体知识分子是一个新兴的、具有决定性意义的阶层，他们从大众文化中得到滋养，也为大众文化的扩大做出了贡献。无论是在消费文化、日常生活还是大众政治方面，媒介知识分子都是影响体制的主要焦点。因此，大众文化的主要参与者之一是媒体知识分子。本研究将讨论这些概念以及它们之间的关系以及它们的日常例子，并通过文献综述的方式分析媒介知识分子在大众文化再生产中的作用。
