感官社会下媒介技术风险治理:一种“悬置”数据的批判

Media Technology Risk Governance in A Sensory Society:A Critique of"Suspended"Data

所谓“悬置”数据,意味着将数据技术视角暂时搁置,质问网络媒介之上还剩余什么,继而探究当下媒介环境中人之耳目在经历什么。由此发现,网络媒介亦密切关联着与视觉、听觉、触觉有关的感官技术,建构了与人耳目相关的媒介感官环境。因此,当下媒介社会未必只是多样化、加速化、计算化的数据社会,亦是一个不断碎片化、幻象化、感性化的感官社会。在感官技术推动下,感官社会迎来的是透明的、断裂的、超饱和的生活世界,娱乐化、符号化、商品化的经济系统,以及具有竞争性、脆弱性、高度复杂性的公共生活。然而,技术另一面也呈现着人的主体性被蚕食、文化活力与韵味衰减、公共话语失序的技术风险面向。因此,未来治理应树立感官正义理念,及时关怀弱势群体之生存状态,不仅应采用激励型治理模式弥补免疫式商业治理的不足,还应在公共议题下超越传统宣传范式,努力把握共情叙事方法,寻求技术风险治理的创新。

The concept of"suspension"involves temporarily setting aside the perspective of data technology."Suspended"data implies questioning what remains beyond the network media,and subsequently exploring what human perception undergoes in the current media environment.This exploration reveals that network media is also linked to sensory technologies related to vision,hearing,and touch,constructing a media environment associated with human perception.Therefore,the morphological structure of media society is not necessarily just a diverse,accelerated,and computational society but also an ever-fragmented,hallucinated,and sensual society.Under the influence of sensory media technologies,the sensory society encounters a transparent,fragmented,and oversaturated living world.It becomes an entertainment-driven,symbolic,and commodified economic system while also fostering a competitive,fragile,and highly complex public life.However,on the flip side of this technology,some risks erode human subjectivity,diminish cultural vitality and charm,and disrupt public discourse.Therefore,future governance should establish the concept of sensory justice,provide timely care for the survival status of vulnerable groups,rectify the shortcomings of immunizing commercial governance through an incentive-based governance paradigm,and prioritize empathetic narratives in public discourse over traditional promotional paradigms to seek innovation in risk governance.
