本文认为 ,印刷文化是构建批判而自律的知识分子主体的重要因素 ,从而也是造就阿多诺丰盈的批判激情与救赎冲动的重要元素 ;而所谓的大众文化其实就是现代电子媒介所催生出来的视觉文化。因此 ,阿多诺对大众文化的批判实际上是以印刷文化培育出来的自律主体的身份向整个电子文化的宣战。通过考察与回答阿多诺与电子文化紧张关系的深层原因 ,本文指出现代型知识分子的批判性话语所面临的合法性危机主要是文化语境 (从现代到后现代 )位移的结果 This paper argues that printing culture is an important factor in the construction of a critical and self-disciplined body of intellectuals and thus an important element in creating Adorno’s critical passion and the urge to salvage. The so-called mass culture is actually the vision emanating from modern electronic media culture. Therefore, Adorno’s criticism of mass culture is actually the declaration of war based on the identity of self-discipline body cultivated by the printing culture to the entire electronic culture. By investigating and answering the deep reason of the relationship between Adorno and electronic culture, this paper points out that the crisis of legitimacy facing the critical discourse of modern intellectuals is mainly the result of the displacement of cultural context (from modern to post-modern)
