破域:数字时代的媒介论

Boundary-Breaking:Media Theory in the Digital Age

人类凭借媒介技术不断实现肉身主体的外化,是文明演进的持续性过程。当前急速崛起的软件代码技术打通了人与机器,创造了人-机合-的新型主体,以及人-机互嵌的社会系统,从而引发人类文明的更新。旨在超越中介化理论的破域一元媒介论认为,媒介即破域,媒介经由打通有机物人类肉身与无机物机器的两元区隔,将人与环境(自然物、人造物)构造为连接、转换、生成的动态整体系统,媒介性就是这个一体化系统的抽象运作机制及过程。当前人工智能媒介实施的人类主体性破域,正引发人类社会一系列重大问题,亟待学术界关注。

Human beings have continuously effected the externalization of themselves as embodied subjects through media technologies-a progressive effort that is part of the evolution of civilization.Current rapid advancements in software technology have bridged the gap between humans and machines,creating a new human-machine hybrid subject and a socio-technological system where humans and machines are intertwined,thereby prompting human civilization to evolve.The monistic theory of boundary-breaking,aiming to transcend traditional mediation theories,posits that media is boundary-breaking.Media dissolves the dichotomy between organic human bodies and inorganic machines,re-configuring humans and their environments(consisting of natural and artificial objects)into a dynamic,integrated system of connection,transformation,and generation.The current boundary-breaking of human subjectivity by artificial intelligence media is raising a series of significant issues in human society,warranting urgent academic attention.
