在地化、关系性和物质性:新移动范式与数字时代的传播研究

Localization,Relationality,and Materiality:The New Mobilities Paradigm and the Communication Research in Digital Age

数字时代,传播学过去那种仅仅关注静止的研究对象、强调文本表征维度的研究视角,已经难以完全囊括当下丰富的传播现象以及媒介与社会之关系。本研究试图引入“新移动范式”,为传播学开辟新的研究路径提供思路。新移动范式以“移动”为出发点重新检视和反思了社会学的传统理论和分析视角,并基于对不同学科理论资源的整合提出了“在地化、关系性和物质性”的分析框架。本研究力图说明,数字时代的传播研究如何能够从上述分析框架中获得启示,由此重新划定研究对象和问题域,超越功能主义的认识论,并且迈向一种非人类中心主义的视野。

In the context of the digital age,the previous perspective of communication studies,which only focused on the static research object and emphasized the dimension of text representation,has been unable to fully cover the rich communication phenomena and the relationship between media and society.This paper tries to provide ideas for opening up a new research approach of communication by introducing“the new mobilities paradigm”.By taking“mobility”as the starting point,the new mobilities paradigm reexamines the traditional theoretical and analytical perspectives of sociology.It also proposed an analytical framework of“localization,relation and materiality”based on the integration of theoretical resources from different disciplines.This study seeks to illustrate how communication research can draw inspiration from the above analytical framework,thereby redefining the research object and problem domain,moving beyond functionalist epistemology and towards a non-anthropocentrism perspective.
