移动新媒体时代的拍客对“景观社会”的构建

移动新媒体时代的拍客传播是旧"景观社会"通向新"景观社会"的一把钥匙。拍客的兴起既是"景观社会"发展的必然要求,也是受传媒技术推动的传播结构变革的结果;拍客实现了对传统媒体时代的旧"景观社会"的全面化建构与结构性反叛,从而建构了新的"景观社会"。本文着重论述拍客对传统媒体时代的旧"景观社会"的全面化建构:一方面通过健全"景观社会"公民的图像语言和思维能力培养了"景观社会"的合格公民;另一方面通过"小众景观"的建构弥补了旧"景观社会"的片面性。     

“社会记忆工程”档案文献资源整合研究

"社会记忆"即社会共有的记忆,是人类社会历史和传统的继承和连续。作为历史承载物的档案,与社会记忆之间具有千丝万缕的内在联系,集中表现为"社会记忆工程"档案文献资源。它包含档案文献遗产与社会记忆、城市档案与城市记忆、家庭档案与平民记忆、乡村档案与乡村记忆等方面。本文从主体、客体、协作三方面剖析了"社会记忆工程"档案文献资源的不足及其原因,并提出相应策略。

基于社会控制理论的董仲舒政治思想探析

董仲舒以天道为其政治理论的逻辑起点,据汉初的社会具体情况,提出了以"大一统"为意旨的系列政治思想。本文基于社会控制理论,从社会控制的主体、客体、途径与目标等方面重新对董仲舒政治思想进行了梳理与厘清。董仲舒以"天"作为社会控制的主体,为了维护君主统治的合法性,他主张"君权神授"进而先验地推出作为"天子"的君主是社会控制现实的主体。董仲舒否定先秦儒家的共同人性论,提出了"性三品"的等级人性论,将具有可教性的"中民"设定为了社会控制的具体客体。社会控制的整个运行机制则是君主通过"德治"等社会控制途径教化"中民",广大民众在恪守"三纲五常"的封建道德中获得社会秩序的稳定,并以此达到异化的王道盛世即"大一统"的社会控制目标。     

基于数字媒体实践的思考——评《媒介·社会·世界:社会理论与数字媒体实践》

尼克·库尔德里的新著《媒介·社会·世界:社会理论与数字媒体实践》对当今数字媒介背景下社会现象进行了深刻的解析。该书通过分析社会文化、政治经济等学术理论,深刻解析了"数字化民主"的发展前景,同时也丰富了"媒介力量"的学术理论。本文从数字媒体和社会理论、网络社会与政治、媒介文化以及媒介道德等方面予以重点解读。     

泛在信息社会及其基本特征

随着社会的发展和科学技术的不断进步,信息社会将逐渐过渡到"泛在信息社会"。泛在信息社会,也称未来信息社会,它将把任何人与任何物,任何物与任何物的通信与联系纳入其中,使得信息的产生、获取、传输、存储、处理的各个应用环节形成了一个全新过程,从而构建一种新的社会形态或新的社会模式。"泛在"是泛在信息社会的主要特征,射频识别是泛在信息社会的核心技术,物联网是泛在信息社会的"发动机"。泛在信息社会是信息社会高度发展的结果,信息社会与泛在信息社会既有联系又有区别。

乡村社会的另一种“凸显”——基于抖音短视频的思考

从抖音短视频的视角,对乡村社会的另一种"凸显"的思考,是建立在以人与媒介之间关系为基本设定的"人的尺度"与"去媒人界面"的论争中。这种思考表现在:一方面,通过对"人的尺度"的追溯与阐释,揭示了乡村社会存在的虚拟现实与经验现实之间的紧张关系,进而回应了抖音短视频带给乡村社会的新挑战;另一方面,透过对"去媒人界面"的讨论与检视,继而达致一种乡村社会与来自后人类主义思想的一脉关联性的认识论转向、"新社会"反省及新问题思考。

Extrovert and Lonely Individuals’ Social TV Viewing Experiences: A Mediating and Moderating Role of Social Presence

Social TV viewing is generally understood as a simultaneous act of watching TV and engaging in communication about the TV program with other TV viewers connected online. In response to the increasing popularity of this new TV viewing practice, the current study examined how individuals’ extrovert personality and loneliness influence social TV viewing experiences through the theoretical notion of social presence. An online survey was completed by 330 individuals. Results demonstrated that extrovert personality positively influenced social TV viewing experiences; it is important to note that this relationship was mediated by social presence. Loneliness itself was negatively related to social TV viewing experiences; however, this relationship was moderated by social presence. Specifically, when lonely people felt strong social presence, they enjoyed social TV viewing experiences. The findings provide theoretical implications for social TV research, the dynamic role of social presence, social enhancement model, and social compensation model.     

How Age Affects Journalists’ Adoption of Social Media as an Innovation

American newsrooms are adopting social media as an innovation for greater engagement. However, several organizational and individual factors may affect the extent to which news outlets adopt social media innovations. In particular, there is assumed to be a divide among different age groups of journalists in embracing social media. Utilizing a structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, the study seeks to understand how social media culture in newsrooms affects journalists’ strategies of taking social media as an innovation, and how journalists of different age groups differ in the SEM model fit. The analyses indicated Twitter engagement mediates social media culture and journalists’ attitude toward social media. However, that was not the case with Facebook. Additionally, while younger journalists favored Twitter, older journalists embraced Facebook and middle-aged journalists adopted both Facebook and Twitter. The analyses showed the more that middle-aged journalists interacted on Twitter, the more they tended to have a positive attitude toward social media. However, the more that younger and older journalists engaged on Twitter, the more they tended to have a negative attitude toward social media. Journalists from all three age groups tended to hold a negative attitude toward social media if they engaged more on Facebook.

How Television Viewers Use Social Media to Engage with Programming: The Social Engagement Scale Development and Validation

This study investigated social television viewing behavior by introducing the social engagement construct and validating its measurement scale. A total of 655 social media users in 2 online consumer panels were sampled to complete the 3-stage research strategy. Through conceptualization and operationalization of social engagement, this study identified 4 underlying dimensions in social engagement, i.e., vertical involvement, diagonal interaction, horizontal intimacy, and horizontal influence. These 4 dimensions represent a continuum in which audiences’ social engagement behaviors range from a lower level (vertical involvement) to a higher level (horizontal influence). The theoretical and practical implications of the social engagement construct were also discussed.     

Social justice impact of archives: a preliminary investigation

This article reports the first stage of a research collaboration that is elaborating the multiple relationships between archives and social justice. Specifically, it is developing narrative frameworks and diagrammatic representations to identify, understand, illustrate, and deploy the actual and potential social justice impact of archives, archivists, and archival repositories. A discussion of the broader and historical social justice landscape culminates with a working conceptualization-framework of social justice followed by an examination of the many methods and modes by which social justice can be an object of research. This is followed by an examination of the rising presence of social justice as an explicit and accelerating concern in four key English language archival journals before offering a working articulation and approach to an archival—social justice framework. A discussion of understanding and measuring impact, with specific reference to the framework of impact that we have chosen to deploy, culminates with an analysis of the social justice impact of archives as evidenced through two exemplary case studies. This is followed by a summation of key findings and a discussion of future plans to expand this research. The overall objective of these efforts is targeted toward elucidating how archives can be cast as having both positive and negative social justice consequences and demonstrating how archival work can serve social justice goals.     

"To Keep the Present and Future in Touch with the Past"- Lewis Wickes Hine:

Lewis Wickes Hine exploited the powerful impact of the visual image to arouse the reforming spirit among the middle and upper classes and to inspire them to do something about the living and working conditions of thousands of America's poor. Hine was acquainted with many of the men and women who were involved in the Progressive social reform campaigns that were popular in the United States during the early twentieth century. A trained sociologist, he became interested in photography while teaching at the Ethical Culture School. Hine quickly realized that photographs could be powerful instruments of social reform and was able to effectively combine his interests in social welfare and photography. Hine believed that this efforts as a photographer should be guided by a social conscience and referred to his work as "social photography." His photographs of men, women and children enduring dangerous and inhuman working conditions were both sensitive and intense. As a result of his social conscience and artistic commitment Hine raised the cultural and social awareness of his contemporaries and made a significant contribution to social reform efforts in the United States.     

Examining public acquisition of science knowledge from social media in Singapore: an extension of the cognitive mediation model

This study extends the cognitive mediation model (CMM) by examining the role of social media in cultivating public science knowledge. A sample of 901 Singaporeans was collected through an online survey panel. The results showed that the CMM could be applied to a social media context with a focus on science literacy. Specifically, the findings indicated that people with higher levels of surveillance gratification and social utility motivations tended to pay more attention and to elaborate more about science news that they encounter on social media. Likewise, people with greater social utility motivation tended to engage in greater interpersonal discussions on social media. Notably, attention to news on social media had an indirect association with science knowledge through news elaboration and interpersonal discussion on social media. Implications for theory and practice for science communication were discussed.     

Understanding the Nature,Uses, and Gratifications of Social Television: Implications for Developing Viewer Engagement and Network Loyalty

This study employed an online survey (N = 310) to explore how viewers’ motivations for social TV participation influence their involvement in social TV activities, their program commitment, and network loyalty. Findings show that social infotainment and social companionship are the primary motivations of social TV participation. However, only social infotainment significantly predicts the intensity of viewers’ social TV usage, which has a positive influence on program commitment and network loyalty. Additionally, the relationship between social TV usage and network loyalty is partially mediated by program commitment. These findings demonstrate the value of social TV to broadcasters and provide directions for initiating and maintaining long-term relationships with viewers.
