An Study Of Gray Duanzi In The View Of Distinction Theory

The Internet era and the development of mobile phones and other tools create a convenient channel for the spread of Duanzi culture.Duanzi can be divided into different types,and in the items of Bourdieu's theory of distinction,it can be divided into Red Duanzi and Green Duanzi under legitimate interest,and Black Duanzi,Yellow Duanzi and Gray Duanzi under non-legitimate interest.The Gray Duanzi as a social barometer,reflecting all aspects of society.This paper is going to research on Gray Duanzi applying with Bourdieu's theory of distinction,studying relevant concepts to Bourdieu's theory of distinction,"interest","social space" and "symbol power",with methods of documentary and interview research methods,to discuss preferences of audience to Gray Duanzi,the characteristics of Gray Duanzi culture in items of creators,the spreading process and receivers in the social space,as well as reflecting the function of the lost symbol power function.Gray Duanzi refers to that people use it to express a mockery to the reality,undesirable social phenomena,such as problems in politics,culture and social morality.Under the non-legitimate interest,its creators,spreading process and the audiences in the social space present different characteristics,which include the grass-root creators group,the lack of specific space in the process of communication,anonymity and the necessary presence during real interaction,the rational judgment of legitimate interest audiences and the complex judgment of non-legitimate interest audiences.At the same time,Gray Duanzi as a no-power symbol,has its positive and negative aspects of the function.Its positive function is mainly reflected in the social space by prompting the audiences to rethink about social issues,and has a pressure-reducing value in social space;and its negative function,caused by the irrational preference of Gray Duanzi,is mainly reflected in the socialized misleading and the deviance led by missing symbolic power.Gray Duanzi has its bottom line,which can not touch the national interest,we should be rational and take a comprehensive view on it,and can not be completely negative.To make legitimate interest play the guidance role to Gray Duanzi,this paper is going to construct a in-depth analysis on missing symbolic power in Gray Duanzi,grasping the connections between social space elements,promoting the solution of the problems and achieving reasonable control of the Gray Duanzi.
