科林.斯巴克斯是当下活跃在欧洲传播与媒体研究学界的资深学者,带有鲜明的英国式媒体研究风格:富于批判精神,强于思辨又注重实证,关注社会现实与公平正义。近十年来他和中国学术界常有接触,但其著述较少被译作中文,我们对其学说了解不多。本文旨在研究斯巴克斯学术思想的形成过程和主要贡献,包括他受到的西方马克思主义的影响、求学生涯中的思想转变、主要研究理路与重要研究成果。因斯巴克斯的求学与研究历程,恰耦合了英国文化研究的变迁、媒体研究的崛起与发展,因此本文也丰富了对有关学术史的理解。 Colin Sparks is a senior scholar currently active in the field of European communication and media studies with a distinctive British media research style: full of critical spirit, stronger than speculation and empirical evidence, focusing on social reality and fairness and justice. In the past ten years, he has had frequent contacts with Chinese academics, but his works are rarely translated into Chinese. We do not know much about his theory. This article aims to study the formation process and main contributions of Schwab’s academic thoughts, including the influence of western Marxism, the change of thoughts in his career, the main research approaches and important research results. Because of the history of Studying and Studying, Inzabacus just coupled with the change of British cultural studies and the rise and development of media studies, this article also enriches the understanding of academic history.
