意义与反思:“爽文化”与青年主体建构——基于热播剧《延禧攻略》的探讨

"Excitement Culture" and the Self-Construction of the Youth:Taking Story of Yanxi Palace as an Example

《延禧攻略》的热播构筑了一种重要的社会文化景观即"爽文化"热,如何认识"爽文化"及其当代文化价值具有重要意义。分析发现,"爽文化"的追捧者主要是18到40岁的观众,其中,青年女性居多。"爽文化"的大众心理学基础在于通过镜像化的自我阐释,使得青年群体在释放自我的过程中获得现实生活中难以触及的情感体验。但是从青年主体的建构意义看,以《延禧攻略》为代表的"爽文化"本身存在不足之处,需要在反思中不断地重构自我。

With Story of Yanxi Palace becoming a hit,"excitement culture" rises to attention as a social landscape. The supporters of excitement culture consist of people from 18-40, with a majority of young women. The psychological basis of the culture is the self-interpretation through mirror images. While consuming "exciting" cultural products, the young consumers experience a catharsis hard to be found in their daily life. Yet seen from the perspective of self-construction of the youth,"excitement culture" represented by Story of Yanxi Palace is congenitally deficient and needs constant self-reconstruction.
