从“极化”到“情感极化”:数字性的兴起及其文化影响

From Polarization to Emotional Polarization:The Rise of Digitality and Its Cultural Impact

数字技术的迅速发展为个体的情感认同与情感表达带来了新的行动可能性。结合从极化现象到情感极化现象的实践变迁,在数字媒体生态下准确厘定情感极化现象及其研究逻辑具有显而易见的必要性。研究表明,基于“数字性”观念对媒体生态、个体体验和数字社群进行考察,能够协助研究者搭建起理解情感极化现象的有效阐释框架。这一框架可以适应于学界对情感极化动因的分析,对情感极化危害的摹刻,以及对情感极化应对路径的探索。研究者应从个体情感体验与良性数字媒体生态两个维度探索理论框架与治理策略,以精准应对数字时代的信息极化风险。

The rapid development of digital technology has brought new opportunities for individuals’emotional identification and expression.Considering the evolution from polarization to emotional polarization phenomena,an accurate definition of emotional polarization and its research approaches in the digital media ecosystem is obviously necessary.It can assist researchers in building an interpretive framework for emotional polarization phenomena that conducts targeted investigations based on the concept of digitality in terms of media ecology digital actions and digital communities.This framework can be effectively adapted to the analysis of the causes of emotional polarization,the presentation of its harmful effects,and the exploration of strategies for addressing emotional polarization.Furthermore,this implies that researchers should explore research and governance approaches from the dimensions of individual emotional experiences and a healthy digital media ecosystem to achieve precise responses to the risks of information polarization in the digital age.
