网络:自由及其想象——以巴赫金狂欢理论为视角

Freedom and Imagination of Freedom: A Study of Network in Perspective of Bakhtin's Carnival Theory

本文粗略回顾了网络研究的里程,指出目前网络研究方面存在的薄弱环节就是网络与人类类生活本质的联系,进而言之,就是网络给人提供的是何种自由及其可能性。本文从更广泛的文化视角来探讨网络自由的本质、社会意义及其与时代精神的互为观照,主要是以巴赫金的狂欢理论为视角,撷取网络社区的大量语料作微观考察。认为网络传播具有狂欢本质,它是人类现实自由追求的一种历史样态,它对人的现实自由的实现既起推动作用,又有阻碍作用。

This paper reviews the network research and points out the weak-link in current research that it fails to connect network with the essence of human life. It studies on plenty of network language in perspective of Bakhtin＇ s carnival theory. Thus it discusses the essence and the social effect of the network freedom as well as the spirit of time from a broader cultural angle. It concludes that network communication with the essence of carnival is a state of freedom pursuit, and it acts as both impetus and obstacle for the realization of terrestrial freedom.
