谁是“正确”爱人:双重管窥下情感关系的客体化与科学化——以婚姻纪实观察综艺《再见爱人》为例

Who is the“right”Lover:A Double-peep at the Objectification and Scientization of Emotional Relations--Take the Marriage Documentary Variety Show“See You Again”as an Example

综艺节目《再见爱人》将离婚或情侣关系破裂看作一个“不爱”的情感过程,将情感视作成就一段关系或破坏一段关系的“要害”。节目的观察模式使得节目之外的观众在与观察团共同观看的同时,亦成为旁观观察团的旁观者。观察团对于个体情感的整理和夫妻相处模式的重述将情感转化为可供讨论和研究客体对象,无形中达成了对观众的情感教育,也试图推动观众展开对婚姻中情感关系及情感现代性的思考;但爱情本身也在被重述和被解读的过程中演变为一种科学,神秘性与神圣性被渐次解构之时,观众自然对爱情祛魅。节目设立初衷延续情动理论的思考,试图探究情感关系中的复杂性,但被客体化、科学化的情感关系经过技术处理,其内部危机看似得到了解决,实际上却产生了情感价值的悖论,亦使得情感关系分析重回理性与情感二元对立的趋势。

The variety show“Goodbye Lover”regards divorce or the breakdown of a couple's relationship as an emotional process of“not loving”,and treats emotion as the“key”that makes or breaks a relationship.The observation mode of the program allows the audience outside the program to watch with the observation group and at the same time become bystanders watching the observation group.The observation group's organization of individual emotions and retelling of couples'relationship patterns transformed emotions into objects for discussion and research,which invisibly achieved emotional education for the audience.It also tried to promote the audience's understanding of emotional relationships and emotional modernity in marriage.But love itself has also evolved into a science in the process of being retold and interpreted.When the mystery and sacredness are gradually deconstructed,the audience will naturally be disenchanted with love.The original intention of the program was to continue the thinking of the emotional theory and try to explore the complexity of emotional relationships.However,after the emotional relationships that were objectified and scientifically processed through technology,the internal crisis seemed to be solved,but in fact,it produced a problem of emotional value.Paradox also makes the analysis of emotional relationships return to the trend of binary opposition between rationality and emotion.
