网络媒介的公共领域——由哈贝马斯的“公共领域”谈起

哈贝马斯在《公共领域的结构转型》一书中提出了"公共领域"一词,并指出了公共领域与大众传媒、公共关系千丝万缕的联系。他曾明确表示大众传媒和公共关系的发展挤压甚至侵占了公共领域的空间。哈贝马斯的推论适合19世纪末20世纪初的西方社会现实,但随着社会的进步和科技的发展,到了21世纪这样一个网络大领风骚的时代,公共领域不是转型了,而是回归了。

Public Sphere of the Network Media:From the Perspective of Habermas' "Public Sphere"

Juergen Habermas raised the idea "Public Sphere" in the book The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere.He pointed out that there were countless ties between public sphere and mass media and public relations.He once claimed that the development of mass media and public relations crushed,or even broke into the space of public sphere.Habermas' theory went well with the western society in the late 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century.But,along with the progress of the society and the development of science in the 21st century,when the network plays a dominant role in the society,public sphere returns instead of being transformed.
