理解媒介融合的元理论:视野与路径——评延森的《媒介融合:网络传播、大众传播与人际传播的三重维度》一书

Understanding the Meta-theory of Media Convergence:Vision and Path——Book Review: Media Convergence:The Three Dimensions of Network,Mass and Interpersonal Communication by Klaus Bruhn Jensen

本文对克劳斯·布鲁恩·延森所著的《媒介融合:网络传播、大众传播与人际传播的三重维度》一书进行了评述。该书从人际传播、大众传播和网络传播三个维度对媒介融合及其社会意义进行'元理论'视角的考察,借助媒介物质、媒介意涵、媒介制度这一生动理论框架,深入分析了媒介融合的历史及其未来,为当下的传播与媒介研究提供了崭新的路径。本文认为,面向未来的传播学研究应摆脱传统理论框架和自身学科内部理论的束缚,通过追问元问题和开展跨学科研究拓展学科的边界。

This paper reviews the Media Convergence:The Three Dimensions of Network,Mass and Interpersonal Communication written by Klaus Bruhn Jensen.The paper holds that this book studies the media convergence and its social meaning from a perspective of meta-theory,and by the means of the theory frame of media material,implication and institution,the book thoroughly analyses the development and future of the media convergence,which provide a new path for the communication and media studies.The paper also maintains that the communication research for the future should lessen and cast off dependency on the traditional theories and internal limits of this discipline theories,and expand its boundary by examining the meta-questions and carring out the inter-disciplinary researches.
