从“载体”到“本体”:作为意识形态出场的网络技术

From"Carrier"to"Ontology":Network Technology Emerging as Ideology

随着网络技术与意识形态的碰撞日益频繁,网络技术不再仅仅作为意识形态的“载体”出场,而是已然变成了意识形态的“本体”。当前,网络技术深刻改变了人们的生产、生活和交往方式等各个方面,学界对网络技术与意识形态关系的认识逐渐加深,从先前的“互峙论”“真空论”发展到“内嵌论”,即开始承认技术具有意识形态的属性;与此同步,意识形态的话语呈现、意蕴阐释以及主流范式也发生了诸多转变,这使得二者在双向互动中彼此耦合的趋势愈发凸显。“技术赋能”时代,虽然网络技术革新给主流意识形态工作带来前所未有的冲击,但我们的关注点不应一味地聚焦于技术批判,更重要的是要认真考察技术的意识形态属性,充分考量技术所造成的意识形态危局,从而探寻扭转局面的路径,从被动应对走向主动建构。

With the increasingly frequent collision between network technology and ideology,network technology no longer appears as the"carrier"of ideology,but has already become the"noumenon"of ideology.At present,network technology has profoundly changed the way of production,life,communication and many other aspects.The academic circle has gradually deepened the understanding of the relationship between network technology and ideology,starting from the"mutual recognition theory"and"vacuum theory"to the current"embedded theory"which embraces that technology possesses the attribute of ideology.Concurrently,many changes have taken place in ideological discourse representation,meaning interpretation and mainstream paradigm,displaying a noticeable trend of a coupled two-way interaction.In the era of technology empowerment,the network technological innovations have brought about the unprecedented impact on the mainstream ideology work.However,our focus should not be fully directed to criticism of technology,but rather shift to the more significant facet——its ideological attributes and the tech-incurred ideological crisis to find a way to reverse the situation and change from passive communication to proactive construction.
