数字流散的物质性:声援梁彼得游行微信使用中的文化技术

The Materiality of Digital Diaspora:Cultural Techniques in the Use of WeChat during the "Supporting Peter Liang Demonstration"

本文借用了德国媒体理论家基特勒技术物质主义的视角,以美国华人声援梁彼得游行时微信使用为案例,从物质性的角度思考了微信这一移动终端社交媒体平台在形塑数字流散时的作用与局限。近十年来兴起的数字流散及其主要解释框架如流散赋权模式与流散边缘模式均可在一定程度上分析声援梁彼得游行中的微信使用,但失之粗疏。本文试图从微信拓扑结构、时间轴操控与交互界面等物质性层面入手,进一步发现媒体使用背后深层的文化技术。
