A decade ago, scholars of international relations articulated a research agenda for the study of popular culture and world politics (PCWP), and since then a burgeoning literature has grown in this area. This article critically reflects on the research agenda put forward by Grayson, Davies, and Philpott and explores how recent scholarship has furthered the study of PCWP. In doing so, this article identifies four limitations of current research and suggests that if PCWP scholarship is to remain committed to understanding how power, identities, ideologies, and actions are made commonsense and legitimate, while also problematizing global inequalities and injustices, then it needs to pay greater attention to the analysis of four areas. These are (1) race, colonialism, and intersectionality in PCWP; (2) the impact of digital technology on PCWP; (3) the audience interpretation of PCWP; and (4) practices of making and producing PCWP.

我们在哪里？流行文化与世界政治研究的新方向

十年前，国际关系学者阐明了研究流行文化和世界政治 (PCWP) 的研究议程，从那时起，这一领域的文献蓬勃发展。本文批判性地反思了 Grayson、Davies 和 Philpott 提出的研究议程，并探讨了最近的学术成果如何进一步推动了 PCWP 的研究。为此，本文确定了当前研究的四个局限性，并建议如果 PCWP 学术要继续致力于理解权力、身份、意识形态和行动如何成为常识和合法的，同时还要解决全球不平等和不公正问题，那么它需要要更加重视四个方面的分析。它们是 (1) PCWP 中的种族、殖民主义和交叉性；（2）数字技术对PCWP的影响；（3）PCWP的观众解读；(4) PCWP 的制作和生产实践。
