中国媒介物质性研究的学术图景及其反思

The Academic Picture and Reflection of Chinese Media Materiality Research

自20世纪90年代起,西方学术界对主流传播学和媒介研究的“非物质性迷思”的反思,以及“新物质主义”理念的兴起,共同推动了“媒介研究的物质性转向”。2010年以来,媒介物质性研究开始被引介到国内,两届媒介物质性研究论坛进一步推动了国内媒介物质性研究的发展。除了深度的理论阐释外,论坛还涵盖技术与技术物、传播政治经济、空间与流动性、身体与情感以及媒介生态等多元的研究议题。国内媒介物质性研究发展同时也存在不足,仍需关注其他被遮蔽的议题,寻找合适的研究方法,反思研究的局限与风险。

Since the 1990s,Western academia’s reflections on the“non-material myth”of mainstream communication and media research and the rise of the“new materialism”concept have jointly promoted the“materialistic turn of media research”.Since 2010,media materiality research has been introduced to China.Two media materiality research forums further promoted the development of Chinese media materiality research.In addition to in-depth theoretical interpretation,it also covered multiple research topics such as technology and technical objects,communication politics and economy,space and fluidity,body and emotion,and media ecology.However,the development of domestic media materiality research also has shortcomings.It is necessary to pay attention to other covered topics,find suitable research methods,and reflect on the limitations and risks of the research.
