“一个新阐释的开端”?——论媒介理论的递归革新(recursive innovation)与富饶分解(fertile disinegration)

A Start of New Interpretation?——On Recursive Innovation of Media Theory and Fertile Disintegration

本文由媒介不存在论入手,引出并详尽解读了德国媒介理论家基特勒的媒介理论,指出基特勒理论工作的革新之处并不在于提供了一种全新的批判叙事,而在于将原有的叙事重新组织整合成为一个新的语言形式,从而形成一个理论回路。在数字媒介时代,媒介就意味着这样一种回路,人人都生存在这种回路中完成一个又一个递归过程。

Starting from non-media existence, this article introduces and interprets German media theorist Kittler's media theory. The innovation of Kittler's theory is not to provide a brand-new critical narration, but to reorganize the narration into a new language form, formulating a theory circuit. in digital media era, media means a circuit like this. Everyone is living in this circuit, experiencing one recursion after another.
