虚拟型公共空间与乡村共同体再造

“Virtual Public Space” and the Reconstruction of Rural Community

以微信(群)嵌入乡村社会为分析视角,把乡村公共空间划分为“实体型公共空间”和“虚拟型公共空间”。在市场经济对乡村社会强势嵌入的背景下,传统乡村中村民逐渐走出乡村世界,“实体型公共空间”难以担当整合乡村社会秩序、繁荣乡村公共文化、维系乡村共同体的重任。新时代,微信(群)作为移动互联网的典型所营造的“虚拟型公共空间”能够搭建起散落在不同空间村民之间的联系,发挥传承乡村传统文化习俗、营造乡村公共舆论及唤醒乡村社会记忆等方面的重要作用,很大程度上挽救了乡村共同体衰败的境况。作为一种有益尝试,移动互联网时代乡村社会营造的“虚拟型公共空间”或将成为再造乡村共同体的可能性进路。

From the perspective of embedding Wechat(Group)into rural society,the rural public space is divided into"physical public space"and"virtual public space".Under the background of market economy’s strong embedding in rural society,villagers in traditional villages gradually step out of the rural world.It is difficult for"substantial public space"to play the important role of integrating rural social order,prospering rural public culture and maintaining rural community.In the new era,as a typical"virtual public space"created by mobile internet,Wechat(group)can rebuild the internal relationship between villagers scattered in different space background,play a part in inheriting traditional rural culture and customs,creating public opinion and awakening rural social memory,and save the situation of rural community disintegration or decline.As a useful attempt,the"virtual public space"created by rural society in the mobile Internet era will become a feasible attempt to rebuild the rural community.
