本雅明技术论与后本雅明时代的社会景观

Benjamin's Theory of Technology and Social Landscape in Benjamin Era

本雅明借鉴了马克思关于经济基础和上层建筑、生产力和生产关系的理论,以技术为视角对社会进行剖析与研究,他敏锐地注意到了技术的质变对当代艺术的巨大冲击。本雅明天才般的预见随时代发展被历史所证实,麦克卢汉和尼尔·波兹曼等继承者开启了后本雅明时代的媒介技术理论。

Benjamin began his analysis and research by referring to Marx’s economic basis and superstructure,the theory of productivity and production relations from the perspective of social technology.He was sharply aware of the quality of the technique’s enormous impact on contemporary art.Benjamin’s prediction was confirmed by history,and his successors such as Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman started the after-Benjamin era of media technology theory.
