日常生活领域中网络空间对社区共同体的想象和生产——基于福州市高档小区H的个案研究

The Role of Network Space in Imagination and Production of Social Community in the Field of Daily Life:A Case Study of High-end Residential Area H in Fuzhou

作为人们生活栖息地的城市社区常常因为缺乏共同生活史和集体成员记忆而丧失原有的“公共性”。网络因其扁平化的组织方式以及倡导平等自由的人际交往模式,在降低沟通成本的同时有效推进了人际互动,使得原子化下居民们彼此孤立的状态被打破,让“共同体”的建设成为可能。通过福州高档小区H的个案研究发现,作为行动者的居民借助网络弱关系整合、创建“同时性”的想象以及工具性的构建作用,将线上关于日常生活的集中讨论发展成线下的社区活动,在获得个人存在感的同时,也塑造了群体归属感。在社会高速流动的当下,网络作为社区文化的缔造者和传播者,是社区“共同体”想象和生产的重要空间。

Urban communities, as habitats for people, often lose their original “publicity” because of the lack of a common life history and collective member memory. Due to the flattened organization and advocacy of equal and free interpersonal communication, the network effectively promotes interpersonal interaction while reducing communication costs. The state of isolation of residents under social atomization is broken, making the construction of “community” possible. Findings from the field research of high-end residential area H in Fuzhou show that residents who act as actors use the integration of weak relations, community imagination of “simultaneity” and the function of instrumentation of network to develop online concentrated discussions of daily life into offline community activities. While gaining the sense of individual existence, it also shapes the sense of belonging to the community. At the moment of high-speed social mobility, the network, as the creator and disseminator of community culture, is an important space for social “community” imagination and production.
