摘要

调查公共领域的结构转变应该考虑到秘密及其组织模式。受媒体技术的基础设施、平台和应用的影响，保密性的扩大是“数字公众”的出现和转变的组成部分。本文重新解读了哈贝马斯的《公共领域的结构转型》，该著作与保密的组织原则相协调，讨论了当前媒介公众的概念，并将其与平台社会中媒介技术和组织保密的双重作用并置于一起。难以辨认、不透明和不可用性是如何组织的?而不是假设问责制，公开和透明度作为先验的认识论，调查公共领域的转变将受益于采用保密和不透明的认识论。

Staying with the Secret: The Public Sphere in Platform Society

Investigating the structural transformation of the public sphere should reckon with the secret and its modes of organization. The expansion of secrecy effected by the infrastructures, platforms, and applications of media technology is constitutive for the emergence and transformation of ‘digital publics’. Offering a rereading of Habermas’s Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere that is attuned to the organizational principle of secrecy, this paper discusses current notions of mediated publics in juxtaposition with the redoubling of media-technological and organizational secrecy at work in platform society. How are illegibility, opacity and unavailability organized? Instead of assuming accountability, publicity and transparency as epistemological a priori, investigating the transformation of the public sphere would benefit from adopting epistemes of secrecy and opacity.

期刊介绍： Theory, Culture & Society is a highly ranked, high impact factor, rigorously peer reviewed journal that publishes original research and review articles in the social and cultural sciences. 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.
