网络是现代文明的产物 ,文化是历史的积淀 ,研究两者的关系有助于更好地理解两者的内涵。本文认为网络引起了文化传播的历史性变革 ;文化则是网络存在的深层次动因。网络文化是在网络与文化的互动中形成的平等文化、多元文化、霸权文化和全球文化。 Network is the product of modern civilization, culture is the accumulation of history, the study of the relationship between the two helps to better understand the meaning of the two. This paper argues that the Internet has caused a historic change in cultural transmission; and that culture is a deep-seated motivation for the existence of the Internet. Network culture is the formation of equal culture, multiculturalism, hegemony culture and global culture in the interaction between network and culture.
