起源于英国的文化研究,借由传播学这一学科载体进入美国学术场域,并最终获得合法的学科身份。在这一学术资源的跨语境挪用和重构过程中,美国独特的学术体制环境促使美国文化研究不得不通过高度学科化和去政治化来实现自身的合法化。这种建制化过程构成了美国文化研究繁荣发展的体制保障,但也在一定程度上背离了社会批判的方向。这引发了传播学批判学派的批评,从而引发了美国文化研究新的学术身份危机。

Originated in the British cultural studies, with the carrier of communication science into the academic field in the United States, and eventually obtain legal status. In the cross-context appropriation and reconstruction of this academic resource, the unique academic institutional environment in the United States has forced American cultural studies to achieve their own legitimacy through highly disciplined and de-politicized. This process of institutionalization constituted the institutional guarantee for the prosperity and development of American cultural studies, but it also deviated from the direction of social criticism to a certain extent. This triggered criticism from the critical school of communication and triggered a new academic identity crisis in American cultural studies.
