媒介物何以可能:电子手写媒介的产生与意义的生产

How Media Is Possible:The Emergence and Significance of Electronic Handwriting

近年来,一些配置手写笔技术的电子消费产品鼓励人们回归手写实践,传统手写与数字媒介之间的断裂存在某种打通的可能。这是在媒介研究中尚未被广泛关注的领域,提供了一个新的切入点来审视书写媒介的产生与意义生产。文章采用物质话语分析的路径关注这一全新的手写形态是如何从人机交互、手写识别等技术中走出来并形塑成媒介的,揭示电子手写媒介经历了多个发展阶段;电子手写媒介的发展与笔、墨、纸的媒介话语,以及代替与拓展的时空场景话语是一种同构关系;电子手写媒介的发展是一个媒介产生的塑形与意义生产的赋意相结合的过程。

In recent years,some consumer electronic products equipped with stylus encourage people to return to handwriting practices.It seems that there is a possibility to get through the fracture between traditional handwriting and digital media.This is a feld that has not been paid attention to in media research.It can provide us with an entry point to re-examine the emergence and meaning production of writing media.This paper uses the path of material discourse analysis to study how this new handwriting form derives from the technologies of human-computer interaction and handwriting recognition to form media.This paper finds that the development of electronic handwritten media has experienced several stages.The development of electronic handwriting media has an isomorphic relationship with the media discourse of pen,ink and paper,and the scene discourse of substitution and expansion.The development of electronic handwritten media is a process of combining the shaping of media and the defining of meaning production.
