自嘲、网暴、网络监督:“社会性死亡”的转义

Self-Mockery, Online Violence, Online Supervision: The Another Meaning of “Social Death”

社会性死亡(“社死”)源自社会学,本来指群体或社会对某类人群的排斥与隔离。本文发现,“社死”自出现于我国网络传播中,其语义发生了多次转变。从一开始的“自嘲”、“寻求安慰”,发展到网络舆论暴力、网络侵权等。同时,本文也认为,如能适当引导,“社死”也能起到舆论监督的效果。

Social death derives from sociology and originally refers to the exclusion and isolation of a certain group of people by a group or society. This paper finds that since the emergence of “social death” in network communication in China, its semantics have undergone many changes. From “self-mockery” and “seeking comfort” at the beginning, it has developed into online public opinion violence and online infringement. At the same time, this article also believes that if properly guided, “social death” can also have the effect of public opinion supervision.
