Media “Disempowerment”,Internet Terror and Self- distinction——A Research about Domestic Female Workers' Media Access and Use in Hangzhou

文章以杭州家政女性的媒介实践为例,探究城市家政女性的媒介素养现状、变化及成因,以及这种媒介实践对她们社会生活的影响。研究表明,杭州家政女性总体媒介素养不高,其中电视是使用最频繁的媒介,她们喜欢看电视剧、综艺节目和社会新闻,使用手机主要是为了方便联系,网络参与度不高。杭州家政女性的日常生活没有太多地受媒介影响,她们对新科技下的网络媒介心存恐惧和误读,无意通过媒介来发声表意、自我赋权,即便她们试图与社会保持亲密关系,渴望城市归属感,但由于种种因素的限制,她们仍选择退居现实社会中亲友建立的强关系社交圈之中。
