现代时间观念的形成与新闻现代性在中国的发生

Formation of Time with Modern Sense and Occurrence of Modernity of the News in China

时间是人类意义世界构成的基石,现代性始于现代时间观念。文章从现代时间概念出发,尝试对"现代意义的新闻"在中国的发生与现代性在中国的源起两个问题做一个关联研究。分析发现,新闻作为现代文化的一种形式深度参与了中国现代性的起源,它通过强化国人现代时间观念,建构"求新"、"求变"的媒介图景,部分执行了"经典淡出"之后意义世界的补位工作,促进了国人心性结构的变化——"走进现代"。在此意义上,"新闻"可成为研究中国现代性的可靠参照。

Time is the cornerstone of the human meaning of the world.Modernity begins with modern time concept.This paper tries to study the occurrence of the news with modern sense and the origin of modernity in China from the perspective of the time with modern sense,and finds out that the news,as agenre of modern culture,is deeply involved in the origin of modernity in China.By strengthening the Chinese conception of the time with modern sense,the news constructs a medium prospect of persuing innovation and change,partly implements the complementary work of the spiritual world after the fading of classic,and promotes the change of the Chinese psychological structure—— ＂moving towards modernity＂.In this sense,the news is available to be a reliable reference to study the modernity in China.
