新媒介和后现代可能

The relationship between the new media and the possibility of the postmodern culture

由于媒介技术和社会文化的不断发展,给诸如电视、电影等传统媒介带来了新的社会化特点,同时导致像互联网等新媒体的出现。它们的主导特质是:图像的优势地位;巨量多元信息的快速流动;广泛的互动性。而上述特质对生活的平面化与历史意识的丧失、小叙事的流行、消费文化的出现和新主体的产生都有着重大的影响。而种种新的文化症候为我们想像未来提供了丰富的可能性。

The author argues that a few traditional media such as TV and film have possessed the new characteristics of the socialization due to the incessant development of the media technology and the social culture, which leads to the appearance of the new media such as internet. The main characteristics of them are as follows, the advantage of image, the rapid running of miscellaneous and massive information, and the extensive mutual impacts. The preceding characteristics take an important effect on the complanation and the fragmentation of life, the losing of the historical consciousness, the prevalence of the model of smallnarration, the appearance of the consumptive culture and the new subjects. As a result, it objectively accelerates the appearance of a kind of the life sense and the currently named postmodern culture. According to the model of thoughts, we are able to imagine that the new media may obtain a special and massive power which not only produces a completely different dummy society, but also becomes the dominant erector of the dummy society in the complex development of the postmodern culture
