Research On Zizek's Media Violence Thought

As the social media landscape changes,the connotation of violence is constantly changing.Based on this,Zizek divided the violence into two categories,dividing the violence into intuitively visible subjective violence such as wars and crimes,and more concealed and imperceptible objective violence,taking the latter as the main object of concern and criticism,subdivided into symbolic violence And system violence.In the existing media landscape society,on the one hand,Western countries have shown sensitivity to various subjective violence,on the other hand,they have created a large number of mechanisms that are destined to make us insensitive to deeper forms of violence through the media,and these mechanisms However,they often appeared with hypocritical faces,causing very serious symptoms.On this basis,Zizek changed his perspective.After analyzing and criticizing media landscapes such as reality shows and capitalist discourse systems such as the war on terrorism,Zizek revealed objective violence such as symbolic violence and systematic violence in a "squint" manner.Two kinds of legitimate liberating violence,"divine violence" and "doing nothing" are proposed,explaining the reorganization of objective violence and the order of the current media landscape.This article is divided into three chapters.The first chapter is mainly to clarify the classification of media violence,explain the difference between subjective violence and objective violence,and then propose the specific content and hidden characteristics of objective violence.Before discussing the issue of violence,first explain that subjective violence is not the entire content of violence.It is necessary to abandon the traditional cognition that terrorist activities such as crime are equated with violence,Since then it has led to objective violence.Objective violence is divided into symbolic violence and systemic violence.It is a form of violence that is difficult to detect under subjective violence.It is embedded in the operating system of capitalist society.For example,the language system is a representative of objective violence,and it represents The powerful distortion of things.Objective violence is intangible and is often ignored,but it supports the deep-level standards of our perception and subjective violence,and is the most important aspect of media violence.The second chapter is based on objective violence and systematically sorts out the standard operating procedures of capitalist media,including symbols and cultural identity.Starting from media symbols such as images,texts,and rituals,it exposes the objective violence hidden therein,and then explains the symbolic violence.Attribution and cultural imposing process;the second section is the unconscious illusion of social reality,mainly from the ideological point of view,pointing out the ideological violent manipulation of the subject and reality,and eliciting the usual shocking tactics of media operation;the third section is mediation The media symbolizes violence,and discusses the three dimensions of the relationship between media form and content,and mediaization's control of privacy and individuals.It proposes the antagonistic relationship between capitalist media form and content,and believes that capitalist media forms are false and ugly.Without paying attention to objective reality,this section also demonstrates Zizek's worries about mediaization,that people's privacy and the dominant position of people will no longer exist;the fourth section is systemic violence in the media landscape,divided into media and capital The Western reporting framework of presupposed subjects and the war on terrorism are three parts: the carnival of systematic violence.The media is based on capitalism and serves the ruling class.The logical framework of Western reporting is also built on capitalism,thus revealing The anti-terrorism action advocated by the capitalist ideological values behind the media symbols is actually just a hypocritical violent movement.Western countries have achieved political and economic hegemony through the anti-terrorism system.This is the category criticized by systematic violence.Through spectacle symbolic details,the media secretly replaces the deep-level institutional thinking that causes social injustice and turmoil under the banner of justice messenger.This is the main content of this chapter.Finally,with the help of the study of Zizek's media violence thought,this paper makes a response and Reflection on the phenomenon of violence in western society.The first is the structural violence in the war on terror,which is divided into three aspects: the characteristics of systematic violence in the war on terror,the suppression of media violence and the harm of systematic violence.It reveals that the war on terror is actually a whole set of media discourse in the framework of western countries,with the purpose of diverting people's attention to objective violence with the help of subjective violence and hiding further thinking about the system It is media,video games and media violence,which is divided into the violence of media reports and the violence mechanism and influence of video games.Through the intervention of objective violence,it points out the "bias" and "selectivity" of Western media reports,analyzes the violence mechanism and influence of video games through symbolic violence,and points out the objective violence in video games.Finally,it stays in the media society and society Based on the relationship between violence and privacy,this paper analyzes the problem of privacy leakage and individual loss in China's media society with Zizek's idea of intermediary symbolic violence.
