作为体验的新闻:受众媒介化情感的生成与表达

News as Experience:Generation and Expression of Audience's Mediatized Emotion

数字时代的新闻生态使情感话语成为公共话语空间的突出类型,情感经历了语言学或文化转向后,也需思考媒介化转向的问题。从媒介中的情感到媒介化情感意味着认同媒介不仅仅是承载情感的容器,而且媒介的结构特性会影响情感的生成和表达方式。在将新闻作为体验的过程中,受众的情感不仅会受到新闻文本中情感话语的影响,也可能酝酿为一种普遍的社会心态。在媒介化情感的表达维度里,基于个体经验的新闻回避已然成为不可忽视的负性情感现象,它反映了受众从传统“认知时代”中的“信息主体”向“体验时代”中的“情感主体”转向的过程。而基于集体表象的媒介化情感表达则被赋予了更多社会关系,它暗含着更多道德情感要素,可以被视为一种健康的理性,并具有情感共通的可能。

With the emergence of the"emotional turn"in the humanities,emotions have transcended the boundaries of individuality and biology,acquiring a distinct social nature.In the digital age's news ecosystem,emotional discourse has become a prominent feature of public discourse spaces.Following the linguistic and cultural turns of emotion,it becomes imperative to contemplate the issue of mediatization.Moving from emotions in the media to mediated emotions,it is acknowledged that media serves not merely as a vessel for carrying emotions but also influences their generation and expression through its structural characteristics.As news becomes an experiential journey,audience emotions are shaped not only by emotional discourse within news texts but may also contribute to broader societal attitudes.In the realm of mediated emotional expression,news avoidance stemming from individual experiences has emerged as a noteworthy negative emotional phenomenon.This reflects audiences transitioning from being mere"information subjects"in the"cognitive age"to becoming"emotional subjects"in the"experience age."Mediated emotional expressions grounded in collective representations carry more profound social implications,imbuing them with moral and emotional elements.They represent a form of healthy rationality and hold the potential for emotional commonality.
