全球化通讯技术对农村社区的影响分析——以电话为例

Impact Study of Globalization Technology on Rural Communities

本研究通过微观的农村社区研究,用参与观察和个案研究的方法分析全球化通讯技术之——电话对农村社区和社区人口的日常生活的影响和塑造。研究发现,电话创造了新的交往和互动方式,使互动空间的形态和范围、互动的频度、互动的对象和互动的强度等都发生了不同程度的变化。电话的出现,不论是亲朋好友还是父母子女,彼此的互动媒介化的程度都越来越高。电话的“有”和“无”,使农户形成信息富有者和信息贫困者两大群体,不拥有电话的群体存在着被边缘化的危险。

By applying the methods of participatory observation and case study, this research aims to analyze the impacts of globalization technology (telephone as a case) on rural communities and the everyday life of rural people. The research revealed that telephone has created new modes of interaction and communication, and has changed rural actors'interaction in terms of space, frequency and targets. The use of telephone has made rural actors'interaction more media - oriented. Rural people have been divided into two different groups - information rich and information poor, according to the criteria of owing telephone or not. The ones who do not have telephone are in the risk of being marginalized.
