摘要
现代社会的技术进步对时间产生了奴役和破坏。不同于以媒介技术获取、存储和检索记忆信息的"记忆的技术","技术的记忆"重新纳入了人们对旧日媒介技术的情感体验,通过审美表现来表达对过时技术的美好回忆和向往,这种"技术怀旧"能够帮助人们管理由技术变迁引发的不确定性,填补新技术带来的兴奋感与旧技术象征的稳定性之间的情感隔阂,构成对自我的稳固定义。然而,文化工业对时代要素的再生产消解着真正的公共记忆,使技术怀旧沦为当下情境的再现,无法摆脱回归理想化过去的窠臼。有鉴于此,技术怀旧研究应当采取动态关系进路下开放的相对主义方法体系,在物质与现象叙事之外探寻技术怀旧主体的社会身份及其对媒介技术变迁的想象与感知,从"事实的角度"转向"关注的角度",促使技术怀旧在时间和空间维度上为人类构建共同的未来。
The time has been enslaved and destroyed by the technological progress in the modern society.Differing from"technology of memory",which access,store,and retrieve information with media technology,the"memory of technology"aims to bring back human’s past emotional media experience into account by aesthetic representation,in order to convey their good memories of,and longing for,the outdated technology.Technostalgia helps people to cope with the uncertainty caused by technological change,filling the gap between the excitement of new technology and the stability of old media with solid self-definition in present.However,the unadulterated public memory was replaced by the reproduced zeitgeist in culture industry,making technostalgia a representation only for the current political situation,resulting in nothing but"a return to an idealized past".In view of this,researched on technostalgia should take the relativism methodologies in a dynamic,relational approach in addition to the narratives of material and the phenomenon to explore how the subjects of technostalgia reconstruct their social and national identity,as well as their imagination and perception of media technology changes,to promote the construction of the common future of human beings with technostalgia temporally and spatially with the turn from"matter of fact"to"matter of concern".
