“架构”:媒介创造“新广西”——《广西行知书》的文化阐释

"Framed":creating "New Guangxi" by media——cultural interpretation of Guidebook of Guangxi

在当代消费社会中,媒体的意义并不仅仅在于传达某种信息,它更多地承担起建构某种思想观念,并赋予对象以价值与意义的功能。通过对旅游丛书《广西行知书》的文化分析,肯定媒体在人们日常生活中的巨大作用,认为媒体是编辑者思想观念的传播,不一定具有完全的客观意义,并提出旅游是现代工业社会中人们释放心理压力的有效途径。

In the current society of consumption, the significance of media lies not merely in conveying some certain kind of information, but more in framing a kind of concept with added value and meaning. This paper, through cultural interpretation of Guidebook of Guangxi, confirms the great impact of media in the daily life of common people, holding that as circulation of the compiler＇s concept, media are not necessarily being entirely objective, proposing that traveling is an effective way for people to release their mental pressure in the modern industrialized society.
