“重建附近”:年轻人如何从现实中获得力量?——人类学家项飙访谈(下)

“Rebuilding the Nearby”:How can Young People Gain Strength from Reality?An Interview with Anthropologist Xiang Biao(Part 2)

项飙访谈下篇从当下年轻人的精神文化现象和社群结构特点切入,具体地分析年轻人在现实中所遭遇的问题,以及“附近”可以在其中发挥的作用。项飙认为,二次元文化的强大是年轻人对现实的一种逃避,如何真正走向三次元的生活对今天的年轻人是一个重大挑战,社会科学需要发展出一套话语,来培养年轻人直面现实的意识,使他们从现实的矛盾和“不舒服”中看到意义和价值,而“附近”所强调的生态性视角可能成为调动这种意识的力量。项飙强调,沉溺于虚拟世界的原子化生存方式强化了社会同化的趋势,使自我变得虚幻和脆弱。近年来,“心理健康热”的流行恰恰反映了年轻人对自身困境强烈的问题意识,“附近”概念引起大众兴趣正是个体对自己在这个世界上的存在方式和存在意义的追问和反思。同时,代际关系和性别关系在“附近”建设中,既是一种重要的资源,也是一种压迫性力量。

This article,from the young people’s common spiritual and cultural phenomenon and social structure characteristics,specifically analyzes the problems that young people encounter in reality,as well as which roles the nearby can play.Xiang Biao believes that the flourishing of the two-dimensional culture is none other than young people’s escape from reality,and for today’s young people how to truly come down to earth is a big challenge.Social science needs to develop a set of discourses to cultivate young people’s awareness of facing reality,and help them understand the value from the contradictions and“discomfort”in reality.The ecological perspective could be a source of inspiration for this awareness.He stressed that the youth’s atomized way of being addicted to the internet world has strengthened the trend of social assimilation and is making the self unreal and fragile,while the popularity of“mental health consultation”in recent years precisely reflects the strong awareness of young people about their own predicament,so that common attention to the concept of the nearby precisely reflects the individual’s questioning and reflection on his own way of and the meaning of the existence in the world.At the same time,it needs to be noted that intergenerational and gender relations are both an important resource and an oppressive force in the rebuilding of the nearby.
