破茧成蝶:电子竞技文化在中国语境的出场

The Emergence of E-sports Culture in Chinese Context

世界上任一文化现象的生成规律都是相似的,具体的生成轨迹却各有不同。由于电子竞技自身体系的愈发庞大和关联领域的愈加复杂,电竞文化的内涵界定也在不断延展与拓宽。运用青年亚文化理论对电竞文化进行剖析,虽不能回答“电竞文化是什么”的问题,但从互联网时代、消费符号、身份认同、仪式抵抗的多重角度,可以在中国语境的各类文化关系考量中尽可能趋近和理解真实存在的电竞文化;同时电竞文化在新时代也启动了新的文化转向,逐渐延伸为与主流文化交相辉映、互生互长的文化类型,为中国青年亚文化理论构建了具有世界意义的原创经验。

The generation rules of any cultural phenomenon in the world are similar,but every specific generation trajectory has its own character.With the growing size of the E-sports system and the increasing complexity of the related fields,the definition of the connotation of E-sports culture is also continuously extended and broadened.Using the Youth Sub-culture theory to analyze the E-sports culture can not answer the question of“what is E-sports culture”,but from the multiple perspectives of the Internet era,consumer symbols,identity,and ritual resistance,we could approach and understand the reality of E-sports’culture better in the consideration of various cultural relations in Chinese context.At the same time,E-sports culture also starts a new cultural turn in the new era,gradually extending into a type of culture that complements and interacts with mainstream culture,which also constructs original experiences with global significance for Chinese youth sub-culture theory.
