Abstract

This article explores the question of how to understand social media following the Habermasian theory of the structural transformation of the public sphere. We argue for a return to political-economic fundamentals as the basis for analysing the public sphere and seek to establish a characteristic connection between digital-behavioural control and singularised audiences in the context of proprietary markets. In the digital constellation, it is less a matter of immobilising the citizen as a consumer but rather of their political activation – albeit in conditions under which commercial interests have primacy: privatisation without privatism.

社会媒体与公共领域的数字结构转型

本文从哈贝马斯的公共领域结构转型理论出发，探讨如何理解社交媒体。我们主张回归政治经济基本面，作为分析公共领域的基础，并寻求在专有市场背景下建立数字行为控制与单一受众之间的特征联系。在数字星座中，问题不在于将公民作为消费者固定下来，而在于他们的政治活动——尽管是在商业利益至上的条件下:没有私人主义的私有化。

Launched in 1982 to cater for the resurgence of interest in culture within contemporary social science, Theory, Culture & Society provides a forum for articles which theorize the relationship between culture and society. Theory, Culture & Society is at the cutting edge of recent developments in social and cultural theory. The journal has helped to break down some of the disciplinary barriers between the humanities and the social sciences by opening up a wide range of new questions in cultural theory.
