“触不到的恋人”:新媒体时代青年群体的云端恋爱研究

“Untouchable Lovers”: Research on Cloud Love of Youth Groups in the New Media Era

随着深度媒介化时代的来临,青年的恋爱交往突破了距离的阻碍,云端恋爱成为被迫两地分离的青年的恋爱新形式。云端中的“远程在场”能暂时纾解现实压力、弥补情感缺失,在仪式与程式化的情感表达中,双方身处异地仍能参与对方的生活。但物理身体碰触的缺失,使得出于本能对亲密关系向往的情侣,希望通过实时连接、永远在线的方式获得亲密体验。在“数字亲密”媒介建构中,恋爱价值观的摇摆、消费主义的觊觎与情感倦怠正在塑造着云端恋爱的新特征,从而导致在异地恋爱交往中产生新的问题。异地恋情侣在“想象的交往”中身体愈被边缘化,需要通过情感互补、多情境连接与打造共同社交圈层等方式重构交往路径。

With the advent of the deeply mediated era,young people's romantic interactions have broken through the barrier of distance,and cloud relationships have become a new form of relationship for some young people who are forced to be separated from each other.The"remote presence"in the cloud can temporarily relieve the pressure of reality and make up for the lack of emotion,and in the rituals and programmed expression of emotion,both parties can still participate in each other's lives in this subtle form despite being in different places.However,the disappearance of physical contact has led couples who instinctively desire intimacy to seek it through real-time connections and always-on experiences.In the medium of"digital intimacy",the wavering of relationship values,the covetousness of consumerism and emotional burnout are shaping the new characteristics of cloud-based relationships,leading to new problems in long-distance relationships.The body is increasingly marginalised in'imagined interactions',and the path of interaction needs to be reconfigured through emotional complementarity,multi-contextual connections and the creation of a common social circle.
