The Inclination of"Embodied Media Space"and the Reconstruction of"Hierarchical Order":An Empirical Study of One Hollow Village
This paper takes the hollow village named M in Zhang Jiakou as the research object,and aims to explore the characteristic of the media space in this hollow village and its influence on social structure.The paper has developed a conception named"embodied media space".First,the paper finds that M has the characteristic of the inclination of"embodied media space".The elderly are embedded in the media space constructed by technologies for instrumental purposes.They reproduce the family space and connect the"family"and"nation"space.The elderly particularly rely on the"embodied media space"constructed by body guided activities such as"chatting on the street",reflecting the space subjectivity and the body creativity.Second,based on the reciprocity of benefits and emotions,the"embodied media space"has promoted blood-like relationship among neighbors.The traditional"hierarchical order"has been reconstructed.The conception of"embodied media space"has returned to the principal position of the body,valued the meaning of the neighbouring space and reemphasized the integration among"body,mind and space".It has some enlightening significance on rural governance.
