"The Imperative of Sharing":The Reconstruction of the Social Order under the Wave of Digitalization
The development of the wave of digitalization makes the media penetrate into all aspects of the society as infrastructure,and the society becomes"mediated"in the ontological sense.When everything becomes mediated,the answer to the classical question of sociology-"How humans construct the social world"-needs to be recalibrated naturally.The Mediated Construction of Reality by Nick Couldry and Andreas Hepp systematically explains the core concepts of deep mediatization theory.The relationship between social,media and communication levels is revealed within a broad historical dimension;The influences of social mediation on the three dimensions of social space,time and data are deeply discussed.The order problems faced by individuals and collective in the age of deep media are analyzed in detail.On the basis of"The Social Construction of Reality:A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge",this work introduces theoretical resources of sociology of knowledge for the study of mediatization,which has high academic value.
