“公共舆论”的形成与文学变革

不少研究者将清末民初由报刊、出版等传媒力量所形成的“公共舆论”与哈贝马斯的“公共领域”混淆 ,并以此为出发点来讨论近代中国的社会变革 ,这显然是不妥当的。在厘清这一错误的基础上 ,通过对大众传媒在近代发展的基本形态、文学“公共舆论”的作用、学会社团的公共性等几个方面的分析 ,探讨了影响近代社会变革的传媒力量———“公共舆论”的特点以及它对文学变革、文化思潮变迁的影响和作用

Formation of "Public Opinion" and Transformation in Literature

Quite a few researchers confuse the two concepts: the "public opinion" formed at the turn of Qing Dynasty and the Republic period by the forces of mass media and the press, and the "public domain" put forward by Harber Mars. It is obviously not appropriate for them to discuss on Chinas social transformation in modern times from this premises. Upon the basis of clarifying the mistake, this paper analyses aspects of the basic form of mass media in modern development, of the function of literature in forming "public opinion", and of the commonality of learned societies and associations. It explores the characteristics of the forces of mass media "public opinion", which has influenced the transformation of modern society, and also explores its influence and function on the transformation of literature and trend of cultural thought.
