中国传播学40年:基于学科化进程的反思

40 Years of Communication Studies in China:Reflections Based on the Process of Disciplinization

中国传播学科学科化进程走过四十个年头,经历了从人员物资匮乏的草创阶段到当前学科队伍壮大、学科建设蓬勃发展的转变。本文将这一历史过程划分为前学科发展阶段与学科化发展阶段,在此基础上梳理和比较了两个时期中国传播研究的学术队伍、学术成果与学术理念,认为我国当前传播研究中依然存在功利主义倾向过强与学科意识形态保守的痼疾。在这种情况下,从新媒体传播打开的新问题域入手,关注媒介技术通过改变传播方式影响人的存在方式,以及被媒介形塑的人与社会反过来如何加强或弱化媒介技术自身的偏向,成为帮助中国传播学发展走出循环,走向进化的一种可能进路。

The professionalization of Chinese communication study has gone through torty years trom the starting period with the lack of personnel and materials to the current period with developed discipline teams and prospering discipline construction. The paper divides this historical process into discipline development stage and disciplinization development stage. On this basis, it summarizes and compares the academic personnel teams, achievements and concepts of Chinese communication research in these two periods. It is believed that there exist intractable problems in the current Chinese communication study, including strong trend of utilitarianism and conservative discipline ideology. On this context, the paper starts from new problems brought about by new media technology to focus on how the media technology influences people＇s existing way through changing mode of communication and how the people and society shaped by media strengthen or weaken the bias of media technology in turn and become an approach to help Chinese communication study get away from the cycle to evolution.
