媒介变革视野中的近代中国知识转型

Chinese Modern Knowledge Transition from the Perspective of Media Reform

知识与报刊,具有理解近代中国转型的重要意义。"书"与"刊"是不同的媒介,代表不同的知识系统。中国传统上形成了以"书"为主导的知识生产和秩序格局,近代以来,最先由外来文化"刊"的介入,改变了原有的知识系统秩序,进而影响了近代中国的变革。"书"与"刊"互为中介的传播实践,给予我们的提示是,一种新的媒介制度化过程并最终形成"制度性媒介"的新格局,乃是影响思想知识和社会变迁的重要因素,也可以成为理解中国"三千年未有之大变局"的一个新视角。

Knowledge and journals are of great importance of understanding Modern Chinese transition. Books and journals are different media and stand for different knowledge systems. Traditionally, there was a pattern of knowledge production and order structure focusing on “book” in China. Since the modern time, journals, representing the external culture, changed the existing order of knowledge system and influenced China’s reform in modern time. The communicating practice of book and journal reminded us that the process of systematization of a new media and the new structure of institutional media, are an important driving force of knowledge and social transition, and are regarded as a new perspective to understand “great changes unseen in 3000 years.”
