Richard Hoggart was born in Leeds in 1918. He served with the Royal Artillery in North Africa from 1940 to 1946, after which he taught literature at the University of Hull, was visiting professor of English at the University of Rochester in America and senior lecturer in English at the University of Leicester. Professor Hoggart has been a member of numerous bodies and at different times was an Assistant Director-General of UNESCO, Chairman of the New Statesman and Vice-Chairman of the Arts Council. The Uses of Literacy, his most widely acclaimed work was partly autobiographical and drawn from his own boyhood growing up in the North of England.
When a society becomes more affluent, does it lose other values? Are the skills that education and literacy gave millions wasted on consuming pop culture? Do the media coerce us into a world of the superficial and the material - or can they be a force for good? When Richard Hoggart asked these questions in his 1957 book "The Uses of Literacy", Britain was undergoing huge social change, yet his landmark work has lost none of its pertinence and power today. Hoggart gives a fascinating insight into the close-knit values of Northern England's vanishing working-class communities, and weaves this together with his views on the arrival of a new, homogenous 'mass' US-influenced culture. His headline-grabbing bestseller opened up a whole new area of cultural study and remains essential reading, both as a historical document, and as a commentary on class, poverty and the media.

幾經波摺,現在文化研究的課程都已經上完瞭我纔拿到這本書的原版。但是還是很激動,昨天走在路上就忍不住翻看起來瞭。這裏試著翻譯瞭一下前言。生詞不太多,大意也比較好理解,但要真正梳理成文字就顯得很睏難瞭。並且由於學識的不夠,很多詞語的翻譯非常拿不準。句子的通順程...

評分“進步被認為是對物質財産的追求,平等被認為是一種道德上的調平,自由被認為是永無止境的不負責任的享樂。”霍加特在立場上並不太像個左派,更像那種戰後感嘆一句Bloody Yankee的老派英國人。他對戰後興起的,因為工人階級生活和文化水平提高而齣現的新大眾文化的諸多批評,很...

評分雖然受懷舊情緒深深影響使霍加特對於大眾齣版物影響下新的文化環境感到悲觀,但他對於社會轉型背景下工人階級生活的深刻洞察的確是令人嘆服,重視傢庭、安土重遷、對公共事務冷漠這些特點跟費孝通《鄉土中國》中的農民階層竟然能夠遙相呼應,在當今中國也依然能夠看到許多相似的影子。非常精彩的一本著作,可讀性很強。以及,為什麼沒有中譯版呢?
