尼尔·波兹曼对电子文化持有鲜明的批判态度。他认为,电子媒介瓦解了印刷媒介所构筑的理性和自律,使信息控制机制土崩瓦解,导致了整个社会文化生活的娱乐化和低智力化,将社会带入技术的集权统治阶段。互联网是电子媒介家族的重要一员,也是我们在评判电子文化时不可回避的重要研究对象。然而受到时代局限和个人原因,波兹曼对互联网的看法存在诸多偏差。本文梳理了波兹曼关于互联网的论述,剖析其观点存在的缺憾,探溯波兹曼观点形成的时代、社会文化以及个人等原因,重申了波兹曼媒介学思想的核心。 Neil Bozeman holds a clear-cut critique of electronic culture. He believes that the electronic media has disrupted the rational and self-discipline of the printed media and disintegrated the information control mechanism, resulting in the entertaining and low-intelligence of the entire social and cultural life and bringing society into the stage of centralized rule of technology. The Internet is an important member of the family of electronic media and an important object of study that we can not avoid in judging electronic culture. However, due to the limitations of the times and personal reasons, there are many deviations in Bozman’s view of the Internet. This article reviews Bonzman’s discourse on the internet, analyzes its shortcomings, probes into the times, social cultures and personalities of Bozman’s viewpoints and reiterates the core of Boltzmann’s media theory.
