偶像影响的媒介演化与社会的偶像焦虑

The Media Evolution of Idol Influence and Idol Anxiety of Society

作为针对偶像的典型指控,偶像崇拜蕴含的焦虑情绪常常被遮蔽,以致忽视了偶像焦虑这一重要的社会文化现象。通过媒介演化脉络梳理偶像的文本线索,发现在雕塑、画像、文字、图像等为主要媒介的偶像建构与传播时期,偶像崇拜蕴含着一个群体针对其他群体的焦虑情绪,产生诸如偶像破坏、偶像歧途、偶像威胁、偶像越轨等外在指控。这种焦虑情绪在互联网媒介下形成不断向内塌陷的情绪螺旋,外显的偶像崇拜日渐转向内隐的偶像焦虑。网络社会的偶像焦虑遮蔽了偶像的精神资源,具体表征为理想身体的焦虑、身份认同的焦虑和快速成名的焦虑。从社会规范角度来看,摆脱偶像焦虑最好的方式并非管理和调节焦虑情绪,而是唤醒偶像的精神资源,引导青少年追求向上向善的精神目标。

As a typical accusation against idols,the anxiety contained in idolatry is often covered,so that idol anxiety,an important socio-cultural phenomenon,is ignored.Sorting out the textual clues of idols through the context of media evolution,it is found that during the period of the construction and dissemination of idols through sculptures,portraits,texts and images as the main media,idolatry contains the anxiety of one group against other groups,resulting in external accusations such as idol destruction,idol astray,idol threat and idol deviance.The anxiety has formed an inward collapsing emotional spiral under the internet media,and the outward idolatry has gradually turned to the implicit idol anxiety.Idol anxiety in the network society obscures the spiritual resources of idols,which is specifically characterized by the anxiety of ideal body,identity and rapid fame.From the perspective of social norms,the best way to get rid of idol anxiety is not to manage and regulate anxiety,but to awaken the spiritual resources of idols and guide teenagers to pursue the spiritual goal of upward goodness.
