表征与抵抗:青年群体的时代焦虑--以“躺平”现象为例

Representation and Resistance:the Age Anxiety of Youth Groups--Taking the Phenomenon of Lying-down an Example

“躺平”作为一种社会现象,其表层特质是不在乎别人说什么、做什么,只管自己躺平,是一种以“低欲望”为媒介表征,以“自嘲”的话语姿态寻求自我解压的生活方式。“躺平”现象实质上是一场由边缘青年群体掀起的反抗“内卷化”时代焦虑的青年亚文化运动。以“躺平”现象的媒介表征及其自我实践作为研究路径,发现“阶层跃升”不畅和消费主义泛滥是我国社会语境下“躺平”现象的根本诱因,青年群体通过参照极简主义的模式践行“躺平”,抵抗“内卷”。因此,为避免“躺平”浪潮带来的消极社会影响,既要发挥主流文化对青年亚文化的价值引领作用,又要提升大众媒介塑造正向价值的功能。此外,青年群体自身更是关键,要树立正确的价值观,在认识历史和反思现实的过程中正视生活中的困难。

As a social phenomenon,lying-down is characterized by the behavior that no matter what others say or do,the youth don't care and they just lie down.It is a life style showing a low desire and seeking youth relief through self-mocking.The phenomenon of lying-down is a youth subculture movement launched by the marginalized youth group to resist the anxiety of the involution era.Taking the media representation and self-practice of the phenomenon of lying down as the research path,it is found that the difficulty in class promotion and the prevailing consumerism are the fundamental causes of the phenomenon of lying-down in the Chinese society.The youth lie down by learning from the mode of minimalism to resist involution.Therefore,it's important to exercise the leading role of dominant culture and to promote the positive value-shaping function of medium with the aim of avoiding the negative effects of the lying-down.Besides,the most fundamental factor lies in the youth community themselves,who should establish the correct values and face up to the difficulties in life in the process of understanding history and reflecting on the reality.
