Research On 'symbol Violence' In Online Games

Since the birth of online games,there have been numerous research achievements on the phenomenon of violence in games in the academic and industry circles,especially the in-depth analysis of the influence of the transmission of subjective violent language,violent behavior and violent pictures in online games on the physical and mental health of players.When it comes to online game violence,more people realize that the most obvious subjective violence in online games is combat,blood,horror,and evil.And we need to know that this is only a form of violence,the violence is actually more complex than we see.In social practice,it is also a kind of violence to manipulate the mechanism of our common reaction to these subjective violence,such as resistance,condemnation,hatred,etc.This kind of violence seems neutral,without any color of violent,but it is an invisible violence that is inherent in the 'normal' state of things.It can influence people's thinking and expression,restrict and imprison people's thoughts,and make people show a consistent response to something,while people 'turn a blind eye' to it.Symbolic violence is not given in the ontological sense.It is not inherent in certain objects or behaviors,but in a symbolic framework constructed by a specific situation or ideology.Want to understand the nature of violence,we cannot simply accompany the critique of subjective violence and equate the direct attributes of violence with all of violence.But from the opposite path,we should identify the hidden control mechanism that really plays a leading role behind the game symbol in the "normal" state,and to reveal the more hidden problem of symbol violence rooted in the meaning of symbols.Therefore,the study comprehensively uses literature analysis,case study and other methods,combined with the researcher's personal game experience,to grasp the perspective of research.First of all,the paper summarizes the research on the application of symbol violence in the field of online games and other related fields,defines the concepts of'symbolic violence' and 'symbolic violence in online games',and clarifies the research object of this paper.Secondly,it uses Bourdieu's society Practical theoreticalframework to reveal the operation mechanism of symbol violence in online games;Once again,combined with the symbol text in the online game systematically,and describes the symbolic violence hidden in online games from three aspects: text language,image coding,and phonetic symbols.In addition,it also cuts in from the perspective of 'symbol consumption','media memory' and 'gender domination' to analyze the problems that online game symbol violence may cause in the dynamic field of communication,such as consumption alienation,memory reconstruction,gender Discrimination,etc.Finally,from the perspective of the system,players,and the government,this paper puts forward a number of suggestions on how to effectively avoid the appeal caused by symbol violence,and calls on multi-party subjects to jointly maintain the healthy development of the online game field.
