Regarding the Protests of Others

While much social movement research focuses on how activists actively cultivate affect and how social movements benefit from shared emotions, these ideas rarely intersect with research examining how race constructs emotional responses in a white settler society. I bridge this theoretical divide by examining the 2009 Tamil diaspora protests in Canada to study dimensions of suffering and apathy through the construction of the racialized protest(er). Drawing upon illustrations from a critical discourse analysis of 153 mainstream news articles and interviews with activists and journalists, this paper explores how racial logic frames media and public discourse through (1) the expression of protesters’ suffering and (2) the construction of racial apathy by the Canadian public. The paper theorizes why and how race frames the production of suffering and apathy, and offers considerations for social movement theory.     

Watching online videos interactively: the impact of media capabilities in Chinese Danmaku video sites

In China, the implementation of a Danmaku social media system to sustain and raise user interest in online video sites is an increasingly widespread phenomenon. Danmaku technology is used to display users’ messages in written text on the online video stream. Little is known about the effects of this form of interactive enhancement. The aim of this empirical study is to evaluate the evolving media capabilities of the Danmaku system and their effects on users’ perceptions of interactivity and their intentions to continue using Danmaku. We draw on media synchronicity theory and apply it to a stimulus-organism-response model. Using this framework, we hypothesize that the media capabilities of the Danmaku system, namely its transmission velocity, parallelism, symbol sets, rehearsability, and reprocessability, elicit increased interactivity, which influences users’ instantaneous intentions to share and to continue the use of the Danmaku system. The results showed that both users’ instantaneous intention to share and their intention to continue to use were significantly affected by the perceived interactivity. Unlike the results of previous studies, our findings showed that all five media capabilities positively affected the users’ perceptions of interactivity. The potential theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed.     

社交媒体存在的治安问题探析

目前,社交媒体已经成为人们十分青睐的社交软件,但由于其独特的传播机制和特点,违法犯罪分子将其作为开展不法 活动的温床,使人们的安全感受到严重影响。这主要体现在四个方面：一是恐怖组织和个人将社交媒体作为开展恐怖活动宣 传、组织和行动的工具;二是违法犯罪分子利用社交媒体实施色情、赌博和诈骗等犯罪;三是社交媒体成为引发违法犯罪的桥 梁;四是社交媒体在引导网络舆情的方向中起到了重要作用。     

铸牢中华民族共同体意识的公共传播机制

在简要阐述新时代公共传播的理论指导与技术支撑的基础上,论文分析了铸牢中华民族共同体意识的公共传播所面临的若干现实问题,进而从目标导向机制、传播策略与路径、传受者间互动性评估机制、效果与价值评价反馈机制等四 个方面研究了公共传播机制构建。其中,公共传播策略与路径包括传播定位重构、传播多元主体及传播渠道的优化整合、传播话语体系的构建、传播的思维、手段与话语应势而变、传播技术路径、网络意识形态风险防控等六个方面。     

费瑟斯通消费文化的审美维度

在当代英国著名社会学家费瑟斯通看来,当今社会从某种意义说就是消费社会,消费社会具有后现代特性,在消费社会,日常生活具有审美特性,影像具有重要意义,文化媒介人成为新审美生活方式的创造者和传播者。     

视觉文化时代信息技术与英语教学关系探析

面对视觉文化环境下长大的一代,信息技术在英语教学中作用巨大。多媒体技术能调动学生的学习兴趣、培养联想思维能力以及营造仿真氛围;网络提供教师与学生日常教学中欠缺的资源;网络学习环境有助于学生自主性的形成。媒介素养教育是教师和学生在此背景下之必须。     

趋近化视角下社交媒体关于人工智能报道的话语建构研究

基于社交媒体关于人工智能的相关报道自建语料库,通过数据搜集和清洗,运用KH Coder文本分析可视化软件,选择其中的名词短语和动词短语,生成关联词频图进行可视化解析,并从趋近化策略的空间趋近、时间趋近和价值趋近维度对自建语料库进行分析。研究结果显示,社交媒体人工智能话语建构了以空间趋近化策略为主,以时间趋近化和价值趋近化策略为辅的正向话语。同时,人工智能对人类具有潜在威胁,公众应采取相应的风险预防对策。     

自媒体环境下隐私信息的公开化及其治理

自媒体环境下隐私信息具有公开化的趋势,表现为隐私信息传播的去边缘化,隐私所有人成为主导者,隐私公开成常态。阴私、身份、财富和观念是公开化的主要隐私类型。传播隐私信息对抗伦理道德可以轻易引起社会关注和自媒体把关权弱化,传播自由度增大是隐私信息公开化的主要原因。隐私信息公开化过度放大了娱乐信息,导致严肃信息失语;强调了传播的自主性,忽略了对"他"者的影响。促进自媒体的发展和媒介生态的净化,需要媒介监管者对信息进行分级,自媒体经营者履行"把关权"职责并适当地引导用户,自媒体用户提高自身媒介素养。     

互联网二十年：中国电视媒体的转型发展

中国互联网发展的二十年来,新信息传播渠道、平台的出现影响了传媒生态,传统媒体的生存发展受到冲击.电视媒体在终端和经营两个层面发生了较大的变化.未来电视机在视觉特性上会继续改进,同时在互联网技术推动下会更具网络特性;视频终端的多样化,多“屏”具有融合趋势;媒体机构方面则需要布局更广的电视产业链,以产品思维、用户思维去经营.     

伊尼斯四大媒介形态的审美趣味

作为媒介生态学派的奠基人,伊尼斯提出了口语、文字、印刷和广播等四大媒介形态。这不仅启发了之后的媒介研究,也具有丰富的审美价值。口语媒介可以激发审美个性,提高人的综合审美能力;文字媒介隐藏着对审美的内在否定,使审美偏向视觉器官;印刷媒介带来标准化审美,使大众的审美日渐趋同;广播媒介带来审美的幻觉和娱乐化倾向。对伊尼斯四大媒介形态具有的不同审美趣味进行探讨,可以使我们充分理解当代多媒介生态下审美趣味的复杂性。
