Research On Host Body Communication In The Age Of Intelligent Media

Influenced by the idea of mind-body dichotomy in traditional Western philosophy and intelligent media technology,the problem of body deficiency in hosting communication is becoming more and more obvious nowadays.Smart media is a kind of media that reconstructs the process of information production and communication through artificial intelligence technology.The media empowerment enables all individuals to engage in hosting communication practices in cyberspace,and all can engage in the free expression and exhibition of the body.The body in cyberspace is constantly being deconstructed and reshaped,forming a unique body spectacle.the rise of AI virtual hosts has led to the gradual dissolution of the host’s body,and the real existing body is at risk of being replaced by the intelligent body.Host communication is a kind of communication activity based on the body practice and perceptual experience of the host communication subject.The body plays a subjective,dynamic and creative role in the communication process.Without the body,the host communication will become "speech to empty words".In addition to the introduction,this paper is divided into four chapters.The introductory chapter explains the purpose and significance of the study,reviews the current status of body communication research and body narrative research,and discusses the object of the study,the research method,and the innovation of the study.The first chapter makes an ephemeral examination of the body characteristics of the host communication subject.With the continuous development of media technology,the body characteristics of host communication show the characteristics of idolization in the traditional media era,heterogeneity in the online media era,and intelligence in the intelligent media era,and the body representations in different eras and the causes behind them are analyzed in this chapter.The second chapter discusses how the hosts construct communication through their bodies from three aspects: media,symbols and narratives.The third chapter focuses on the actual representation of the lack of the body and its causes in the era of intelligent media,and also provides a theoretical explanation and supplement to the first chapter from the perspective of body philosophy.Chapter 4focuses on how presenters can take advantage of their embodied communication in the age of smart media to combat the many problems of bodily deficiencies in the age of smart media.This chapter proposes strategies for the realization of presenter embodied communication from three aspects: interpersonal communication,corporal language construction,and human-computer inter-embedding.The future communication practice should affirm the irreplaceability of the presenter’s body,bring into play the originality of the body,strengthen the "body unity" of audible language,and build the "inter-body" of good communication-reception relationship.By taking advantage of human-computer synergy and building a communication platform with human-computer interplay,we can enhance the interpersonal aspect of host communication and promote the innovation of communication mode.
