The Jouissance of Micro-Drama:The Paradoxical Mechanism and Speed Trap in"Thing-Jouissance"Theory
Micro-drama,as an emerging form of network literature and art,has gradually be-come an important way of leisure and entertainment for modern people.The jouissance in micro-dra-ma is not pure desire fulfillment,but is closely related to the ontological existence of human beings.The sensation of"jouissance",as an embodiment of the logic of"revealing-concealing"enjoyment,serves as a reflection of the"unpleasantness"experienced by modem individuals in their fast-paced existence.The mechanism of enjoyment in micro-drama unfolds precisely in this paradoxical state of"jouissance".Specifically,through the production of"jouissance"at the three levels of perceptual experience,emotional experience and thought-consciousness experience,micro-drama firstly pro-vides the audience with the fulfillment of"Superego enjoyment"and"Thing-jouissance".Secondly,adapting to the reality of time and space compression and class separation,the micro-drama rational-ly distributes the"jouissance"around the audience's attention and emotional resonance.Finally,under the influence of consumerism,the cultural significance of"jouissance"in micro-drama is gradually commodified,devoted to the creation and realization of surplus enjoyment,banishing the satisfaction of the audience's real spiritual life,and involving the audience more deeply in the ideo-logical vortex of jouissance consumption.To some extent,the intertwined cycle of"pleasure"and"unpleasantness"in the enjoyment mechanism of micro-drama has opened up a space for modern people to think about their own existence.However,this has also led to the intervention of the power of capital,turning"jouissance"into a cloak for hiding money,reducing micro-drama to an object dominated by the logic of commodities,accelerating the structural changes in the consumer society,and hindering the healthy and benign development of the micro-drama industry.
