中文简介:
黑客攻击和手推车;大规模的谋杀和欺凌这些有什么共同点?有一种理论认为, 这些都是 "不正常" 社会行为, 发生在网上和场外, 据称是我们的新媒体环境造成的, 也是加剧的。这样的异常行为似乎给了我们充分的理由去害怕数字和社交媒体。但技术难辞其咎吗?在我们调查我们对新技术和媒体的理解是如何形成社会的, 进而新媒体如何影响我们的社会行为时, 我们将努力解决这个问题。 我们将首先研究 "旧" 媒体 (书籍、电影、电视, 甚至文字本身) 的类似恐慌如何为这些当前的恐惧开创了历史先例。在这一过程中, 我们将建立和探讨关于新媒体的辩论中包含的问题, 包括阶级、性别、青年、性和暴力问题。这些话题将放在跨文化的角度, 让我们比较当代事件和问题的恐慌性质 — 比如哥伦比亚学校枪击案、网络欺凌、日本御宅族和中国 "人体肉搜索发动机 "— 发生在美国和东亚。学生将阅读论文, 保存媒体期刊, 观看与每周主题相关的电影。
课程简介: Hacking and trolling; mass murders and bullying. What do these have in common? One theory holds that these are all "deviant" social behaviors, occurring both online and off, which have purportedly been brought about or exacerbated by our new media environment. Such aberrant behaviors seemingly give us ample reason to fear digital and social media. But is technology to blame? We will grapple with this question as we investigate how our understanding of new technologies and media is socially shaped and, in turn, how new media might influence our social behavior. We will begin by studying how similar panics about "old" media (books, film, television and even the written word itself) set historical precedents for these current fears. Along the way we will establish and explore issues embedded in debates about new media, including questions of class, gender, youth, sex, and violence. Such topics will be placed in cross-cultural perspective, allowing us to compare the nature of panics over contemporary events and issues—e.g. the Columbine school shootings, cyber-bullying, Japanese otaku, and the Chinese "Human Flesh Search Engine"—occurring within both the United States and East Asia. Students will read essays, keep media journals and watch films pertaining to weekly topics.
关 键 词: 网络欺凌; 日本御宅族; 中国的“人肉搜索引擎”
