从公共领域到公共情感:数字时代公共生活的情感转向

From the Public Sphere to Public Sentiment:The Emotional Shift of Public Life in the Digital Age

本文探讨了从传统公共领域到数字时代公众情感的演变,以及情感计算和算法文化如何重塑公共情感和公共领域的未来。通过对哈贝马斯、阿伦特和桑内特的“公共领域”概念的分析,揭示了情感在塑造公共议题和社会凝聚力中的复杂角色。随着数字媒体的兴起,“情感公众”作为一种新的社会力量,通过社交媒体平台的广泛参与并建立情感联结,拓展了传统公共领域的边界,情感计算和算法技术的出现对个体情感表达和公共情感空间也产生了新的影响。如何在保持公共讨论理性的同时,充分利用情感的积极作用,找回反思性情感,已成为当下人们不可回避的问题。

This paper explores thetransition from the traditional public sphere to the public sentiment in the digital age,and how affective computing and algorithmic culture are reshaping the future of public sentiment and the public sphere.Through the analysis of Habermas',Arendt's,and Sennett's concept of the"public sphere",the complex role of emotion in orienting public issues and social cohesion is revealed.With the rise of digital media,the"affective public",as a new social force,has expanded the boundaries of the traditional public spherethroughtheextensive participation and establishment of emotional connections on social media platforms.The emergence of affective computing and algorithm technology has also had a new impact on individual emotional expression and public space for sentiment.How to take advantage of emotions and reclaim reflective feelings while maintaining the rationality of public discussion has become unavoidable for people at present.
