Network Culture: the Postmodern Marriage of
Technology and Culture

摘要:

作为一种新的文化景观,网络文化是技术与文化的最新联姻。它通过网话文的拆解与变形,大众文化身份的置换和颠覆,演绎着文化多元与精神自由,形成了新世纪的后新文化运动。大众第一次由文化的原料提供者变成文化的生产者,真正充当了文化的主角;通过“自精神”和“微内容”的文化试验,“沉默的大多数”第一次真正开口说话,形成了空谷足音式的“新意见”,“内爆”了“信息茧房”,抑制了“群体极化”,推动了人文精神的后现代变迁,自由向后自由理念转变,民主向后民主精神滑移,主体性向后主体性跃升,最终达到重构人类文化和人类社会的可能。但同时,透过辩证法的视窗,网络文化展现出另一个镜像:文化霸权、虚拟异化与操控大众。网络文化呈现出文化的多棱镜。在这个多梭镜里,网络文化折射出的阳光远远大于其留下的阴影。因为实践一次次地展示:证实前者,证伪后者远大于证实后者,证伪前者。

Abstract:

Network culture, as a new spectacle of culture, is the newest marriage of technology and culture. By way of the dismantling and deformation of network language as well as the displacement and subversion of popular culture identity, it gives an interpretation of cultural diversity and freedom spirit, thus, in this post new culture movement, masses turning for the first time from the providers of cultural materials into the producers of culture, and really acting as cultural protagonists. Moreover, by virtue of the cultural experiments such as the "wespirit" and "microcontent", the "silent majority" really speaks for the first time, which forms the thunderous "new ideas", "implodes" the "information cocoons" and "group polarization", and pushes forward the postmodern change of humanistic spirit. Therefore, freedom turns into postfreedom, democracy into postdemocracy, and subjectivity into postsubjectivity so as to, finally, possess the ability to reconstruct human culture and human society. But, at the same time, viewing from another perspective, network culture also displays some other images: cultural hegemony, virtual alienation and mass manipulation. In other words, network culture also has a function of multiprism. On the whole, it reflects more sunlight than shadow, because, time and time again, the practice tells us that the former is far more than the latter.

Key words: network culture; the third culture; network language; wespirit; microcontent
