作為文化研究領域最知名的學者之一,約翰·斯道雷教授在訪談中通過探究一些關鍵問題回顧了文化研究的歷史,并分享了他的新作《激進烏托邦主義和文化研究》。在這本書中,斯道雷教授從文化研究的角度審視了烏托邦主義的古老概念,并指出,激進烏托邦主義或可喚醒文化研究的政治承諾。由此,他不僅重訪了英國文化研究的三位奠基人及其理論,而且通過對"此時此刻"的陌生化,指向了未來的激進烏托邦。

In this interview, Professor John Storey, one of the most renowned scholars in the field of cultural studies, not only revisits the history of cultural studies by investigating some of its key issues, but also shares his latest book Radical Utopianism and Cultural Studies in which he looks at the concept of utopianism from a cultural studies perspective and argues that radical utopianism can awaken the political promise of cultural studies. In doing so, he revisits the founding fathers of cultural studies and points to a radical utopia by defamiliarizing the naturalness of the here and now.
