从权力理论视角解读“开心农场”的兴起

The Interpretation of the Rise of "Happy Farm" from the Perspective of Power Theory

"开心农场"作为近年来出现的一款网络游戏,其兴起的原因有多种解释和猜测,笔者受福柯权力理论的启示和影响,发现"开心农场"的出现是一种网络虚拟权力暂时取代了现实权力的结果,它赋予了现代人"种菜者"和"偷菜者"的双重新身份,迎合了社会大众在现代急剧变化的环境之中寻求归属感和满足感的心理需求,一定程度上改善了人们之间的关系。

＂ Happy farm＂ is an online game emerged in recent years. There are a variety of explanations and speculations for the cause of its rise. Influenced by the enlightenment and inspiration of Michel Foucault＇s power theory, the author finds that the emergence of ＂happy farm＂ is the result that the online virtual power replaces the real power. ＂Happy farm＂ gives modem people the double new identities of the ＂ growing vegetables＂ and the ＂ stealing the vegetables＂, caters to psychological demands of people who find a sense of belonging and satisfaction in this dramatically -changed modem environment and improves the relationships among people at large.
