现象学视角下媒介与时间关系的批判性重述

Revisiting the Relationship between Media and Time from the Perspective of Phenomenology

我们都生活在时间之中(in time),似乎只有在面对时间这个维度的时候,社会身份、地位、阶层等的差异才显得不那么重要,众生才是平等的,因为此在都必须面对“向死而生”的境况。但这并不意味着不存在时间的争斗,相反,时间的竞争一直是现代社会的驱动力,这里充斥着权力的触角。从新闻传播实践看,所有的事件,都是时间中的事件;所有的秩序,都是时间的先后安排。报纸上的版面安排、广播电视节目表、各种网页置顶,以及排序算法,看似在争夺空间位置,实则都是时间的法则在起作用。基于此,本文认为,新闻传播学应该有一个新闻传播时间学的研究分支。

We all live in time,and it seems that only in the dimension of time do social identity,status and class become less significant.In other words,in the dimension of time,all beings are equal because they must face the circumstance of"living towards death".However,it doesn’t signify the nonexistence of time’s struggle;on the contrary,the competition of time with the struggle for power,is the driving force of modern society.In the practice of news communication,all events are events in time while all order is the successive arrangement of time.Although the layout of newspaper,the broadcasting and TV schedules,the top stories on the web page and even sort algorithm seem to compete for space,in essence,it is the law of time at work.Therefore,this paper proposes that a branch of chronemics study of journalism and communication should exist in this discipline.
