Abstract

This study explores the dissemination, impact, and effectiveness of Fredric Jameson’s cultural theory within Chinese mass culture by conducting a comprehensive survey across various social groups and regions. The paper examines the acceptance and communication of Jameson’s theories, focusing on how his insights into cultural expansion and ideology resonate with different demographics in China. The results indicate that the primary audience for Jameson’s works consists of individuals aged 25-35 with high educational backgrounds, with significant interest in regions like Zhejiang, Hubei, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. The survey also reveals varying degrees of familiarity with Jameson’s theories among respondents, highlighting a growing influence yet uneven understanding. These findings suggest that a systematic interpretation of Jameson’s cultural theory can significantly contribute to the development and enrichment of Chinese mass culture.
