Three Dimensions of Western Left-wing Scholars' Criticism of Cultural Imperialism
Western left-wing scholars mainly criticize cultural imperialism from three dimensions:cultural hegemony,national culture,and popular culture.Firstly,they elaborate on the relationship between bourgeois civil society and politi-cal society,and clarify the issue of ideological leadership of capitalist"cultural hegemony".Secondly,they analyze the marginalization of local colonial culture under capitalist colonial rule,and condemn the series of issues related to national cultural survival and identity caused by the infiltration of colonial culture.Finally,they expose the crisis of popular cultural production alienation under the control of capital logic,and uncover the essence of capital proliferation logic in cultural im-perialism.Western left-wing scholars,while criticizing cultural imperialism,have shown deviations from the basic position,principles,and methods of Marxism or ambiguous attitudes towards capitalism due to various factors,resulting in certain deficiencies in their theories.
