摘要
近年来,传播政治经济学研究者们围绕数字技术和信息通信技术在全球社会引发的各种新现象与新问题积极开展跨学科探索,这一趋势虽促进了传播政治经济学的经验转向和代际传承,但却遮蔽了“人”作为主体的日常生活经验、工作流程和文化实践,使得“人”与“技术”一同陷入计算世界的窠臼中。本文在考察和梳理建制民族志的创建背景、理论发展、基本观点和研究步骤的基础上,全面细致地分析了传播政治经济学和建制民族志在研究传统、旨趣、对象和目标方面的共通之处。一方面,这些共同点为二者的融通奠定了坚实的学术基础,融合二者的研究取径可重新建立微观个体、中观组织与宏观权力之间的多元联系,以及社会结构与“行动中意义”之间的动态关联。另一方面,探索实现二者融通的主要进路,特别是围绕近年来备受学界关注的平台劳动、数字游民和乡村传播等社会议题展开深入研究,有助于进一步推动传播政治经济学的创新与发展。这些融通及实现进路为我们超越理论与方法的简单接合提供了新的可能,并孕育出一系列崭新的、开放的学术实践。
In recent years,researchers in the political economy of communication have actively engaged in interdisciplinary explorations of the new phenomena and problems introduced by digital technology and information and communication technology within global society.While this trend has facilitated an empirical turn and the intergenerational inheritance of the field,it has also overshadowed the everyday life experiences,work processes and cultural practices of individuals as subjects,causing both“people”and“technology”ensnared in the framework of a computational world.Based on an examination and overview of the background,theoretical development,core viewpoints and research steps of institutional ethnography,this article provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the commonalities between the political economy of communication and institutional ethnography in terms of their research traditions,interests,subjects and objectives.On the one hand,these commonalities establish a solid academic foundation for their mutual construction.Combining their research approaches can re-establish diverse connections between micro-level individuals,meso-level organizations,and macro-level power structures,as well as the dynamic relationships between social structures and“meaning in action.”On the other hand,exploring the main pathways for the integration of the two fields,particularly through in-depth research on social issues that have recently garnered significant attention in academia,such as platform labor,digital nomads,and rural communication,can further advance the innovation and development of the political economy of communication.Such integration and its pathways offer new possibilities for transcending the simple combination of theory and method while giving rise to a series of novel and open academic practices.
