邓丽君、流行音乐与20世纪80年代的批判话语--当代中国大众文化价值观生成语境分析之一

摘要

20世纪80年代的中国大陆从批判邓丽君开始，引发一系列批判流行音乐的文化事件。流行音乐被定位于“黄色歌曲”、“靡靡之音”和“商品化艺术”。现在看来，这些批判话语既是对主流意识形态的主动迎合与积极响应，也是精英主义艺术观的最初体现。而由于20世纪80年代中国大陆并不具有形成商业文化的经济环境与制度环境，更由于广大受众听赏流行音乐的主要动因在于走出禁欲主义和文化专制主义的牢笼，修复被破坏殆尽的“情感结构”，所以他们所代表的世俗价值观与批判话语形成了明显的错位。这种错位构成了20世纪80年代大众文化价值观错综复杂的生成语境。%Criticizing Teresa Teng in Chinese Mainland in 1980s triggered a series of criticism on pop music. Pop music is defined as“obscene songs”,“decadent music”and“commercialized art”. It appears now that these criticism discourses turn to be both an active response to mainstream ideology and a reflection of elitist artistic view. Chinese Mainland of 1980's was not equipped with economic environment and system for commercial culture. The audience enjoyed the pop music because they wanted to escape from the cage of asceticism and cultural autocracy, and to reconstruct the devastated the “structure of feeling”. Therefore, their worldly values and criticism discourses are dislocated. This dislocation constituted the complicated mass cultural value of 1980's.
