媒体革命语境中的日常生活危机

The Implosion of Everyday Life in the Context of Medium Revolution

由于科学、技术、资本、市场、国家对日常生活的征服,“对存在的遗忘”构成现代性的深刻危机。20世纪后半叶以来,媒体革命整合了诸种力量,通过穿透隐私、摧毁距离和融化实在等方式使日常生活产生“内爆”。由此,现代性危机转化成日常性的不可能性。在这种新倾向面前,西方思想家已经探索过的诸多“解放”路径,尤其是美学救赎,也日趋捉襟见肘,日常生活再度成为焦点问题。

Owing to the conquering of life by science, technology, market, capital and state, the “oblivion of existence” has become a deep crisis for modernity. Since the latter half of 20~ th century, the medium revolution has integrated different forces and caused the implosion of everyday life via the penetration into the private spheres, the demolishing of distances and the dissolution of the real. Therefore the crisis of modernity has turned into the impossibility of everyday life. Confronting this aporia, contemporary western thinkers have tried many ways for “emancipation,” but have all faded into pure gestures of “showing” owing to the lack of real impact of daily life.
