Symbolic Interactionism: Research On Information Dissemination In The Age Of Industrialization

An exponential growth has been seen these years in the area of Science and Technology:In 1970s,the invention of Microprocessors minimized traditional computer scale,and finally made personal computer(PC)popular among ordinary people.Meanwhile,material technology improvements and the development of the Internet Prosperity have also been seen in the past.There is a possibility that huge-sized CNC machine only could be seen in factories has now going into ordinary people's homes,by 2010,CNC machine tools can even be put on a classroom desk.Professor Neil Gershenfeld in MIT published classroom revolution-from personal computers to personal manufacturing to build such a scene:a miniature CNC machine(3D printer)with a personal Computer together constitute a small desktop factory(3D printer will be based on computer output data to print the corresponding specifications of the three-dimensional model).The era of "Industrial Personalization"(hereinafter referred to as self-industrialization)is coming soon.Since the era of information technology development and materials revolution,The era of the self-industrialization revolution is now appear,which leads to new opportunities and challenges to human society and people's daily life in all aspects.Inherited the American pragmatism tradition,the era of industrialization is rooted in the design thinking soil,growing in the medium environment of the new media empowerment,it also can be seen as,in a pan-media perspective,a kind of person-centered communication form,and in this new era of information communication,the new cultural ecology-open source culture is also dense,Constructed by public,this cultural ecology reflects their own value for the community in an arrogate way,is an active attempt for mass culture.The Fab Labs and their worldwide practice is a precedent communication example in the era of self-industrialization.Fab Labs' attempt to create everything is based on self-industrialization,with open source spirit as its core value,emphasizing communicating,sharing And the flowing scenes,as well as the fact that human life experience expanding by technology in a pan-media perspective,reflects new communication characteristics in self-industrialization era.This paper contains four chapters,chapter one outlines study background,emphasizes fundamental concepts mentioned in this paper,and then summarizes home and abroad research productions and their main opinions,and at last,describes innovation points of this paper;Chapter two presents the reasons why the era of self-industrialization come into being,describes the development of Fab Lab and the relationship between Fab Lab and self-industrialization era and then demonstrates how information dissemination in Fab Labs;In chapter three,combined with Fab lab practices,this paper emphasizes the mechanism of information dissemination in three aspects from a symbolic interaction perspective in media culture theory:communication subject,communication form and communication strategies In chapter four,the paper puts self-industrialization communication in the area of culture,this chapter approaches the topic by open source culture,by aid of intertexuality and Michelle Foucault's viewpoint about Power,the chapter attempts to make a thorough inquiry of the new culture environment appeared under the communication in self-industrialization era,describes its value to the society,recent development and development direction.This paper argues that the information dissemination in the era of self-industrialization is based on interaction,the self-centered value,and problem solving-oriented communication model,this model abandons the structural functionalism of the Definition,emphasizing the subjective initiative and creativity of each individual in the process of communication,as well as higher level of individual needs towards personal and diversified products,at the same time,in the process of communication,with the establishment of information sharing scenarios,and open source communication strategy,Since the era of self-industrialization,information dissemination has also established a multi-meaning sharing and superposition,various disciplines,field exchanges increasingly close to the "global village." And since the era of self-industrialization of information dissemination model has open source culture in the soil,open source culture is a response to the criticism of the cultural industry,in this cultural context,people proactive production of large-scale diversified products become possible,Human society towards the diversity of meaning,open and full of possibilities in the direction of development.
