自媒体时代公众参与的困境与破解路径——以2012年重大群体性事件为例

Problems and Solutions for Public Participation in the "We Media" Era——A Case Study of 2012 Major Group Events

自媒体时代的社会动员方式,使群体性事件具有更广泛的社会参与度。但自媒体的传播特征又使这种参与具有独特的困境,主要表现在:抽象愤怒与集体狂欢、民粹主义下的"无社会组织"后果、话语和行为的无理性破坏等。要重塑公民有序化的政治参与,政府不仅需要执政智慧,更需要与社会发展相适应的新的治理思维。建立健全制度化的维权机制,畅通公民的利益表达与利益保障机制,提高弱势群体在利益综合以及政策制定中的博弈能力,是破解自媒体时代公众参与困境的必由之路。

In the ＂We Media＂ era, social mobilization works in a way that facilitates wider social partici pation in group events, however, due to its features of communication, ＂ We Media＂ also presents new prob lems for public participation, which include abstract anger and collective revelry, the ＂unstructured＂ state un der populism, and the irrational disruption in social discourse and activities. To reshape orderly political partic ipation from the citizens, the government should not only have wisdom in governance, but also adopt the new mindset that is responsive to the social development. To cope with the problems of public participation in the age of ＂ We Media＂ , the only possible choice is to establish and perfect institutionalized rights protection mech anism, facilitate the smooth operation of the mechanism that ensures free expression and protection of the citizen ＂s interests, and to enhance the negotiation capacity of the vulnerable groups in interests synthesizing and poli cymaking.
