弱势群体归属感的媒介生态学研究范式及其理论模型

A Media Ecological Study of Paradigm Research and Theoretical Model of Vulnerable Groups' Sense of Belonging

弱势群体是一个社会现象,对个体及社会影响极大。本文以媒介生态学作为研究弱势群体归属感的切入点,分析弱势群体在媒介生态学视野下存在的三大困境。媒介生态学常见的研究范式有媒介污名范式、媒介拒绝范式、媒介剥夺范式、媒介增强范式。对于其理论模型,本文从影响媒介生态的内外因素及构建弱势群体归属感三个阶段进行分析,这对于促进弱势群体归属感、改善媒介生态环境有一定的理论及现实意义。但不足的是,媒介生态学的研究范式还有待于以实证方式进行验证。

Vulnerable groups are a social phenomenon, which has a great impact upon both the individuals and society. This paper aims to reflect upon vulnerable groups＇ sense of belonging from the perspectives of media ecology. It analyses three main problems that vulnerable groups have under the perspective of media ecology, while some of the common paradigms are media stigmatization paradigm, media refusal paradigm, media depriva- tion paradigm and media enhancement paradigm. The theoretical model is analyzed through three stages, namely, the influencing internal and external factors on media ecology and building vulnerable groups＇ sense of belonging in society. This research has both theoretical and practical significance for promotion of vulnerable groups＇ sense of belonging and improvement of media eco-environment. What is insufficient is, the research paradigm has yet to be validated through empirical studies.
