中文摘要:
      查特曼圆周生活理论是对日常信息实践的深刻洞察,但其在超越边缘群体限制、阐释社会结构动因以及拓展非西方语境下的解释力等方面面临挑战。本文基于田野调查,聚焦三个由政策规划聚集、以生活方式划界的单位社群,运用圆周生活理论的四个核心概念分析其日常信息实践,检视理论在中国社会的适用性。研究发现,单位社群在地理空间和社会环境的双重影响下,形成了以集体心智为核心的世界观和社群文化,并以此塑造信息价值、规范信息实践,具有区分局内人与局外人、满足成员日常信息需求、限制个体主观信息活动的小世界属性。结合单位社群信息实践的工作与生活情境交互、层级性和集体性活动模式及角色代际差异等特点,探讨圆周生活理论的群体适用范围、成员信息生活体验、社群信息边界特性,以及理论内涵的时代变迁。本研究加深了对社会文化因素作为信息实践背景的重要性的认识,为解决信息不平等问题提供了新的视角。图1。表1。参考文献63。
英文摘要:
Since the late 20th century,Elfreda Chatman's life in the round theory has been recognized as one of the most insightful frameworks for understanding everyday information practices. However,it remains constrained in transcending the limitations of marginalized groups,explaining social structural dynamics,and expanding its applicability within non Western contexts. To address these concerns,this research examines three Danwei communities shaped by policy driven urban planning and characterized by unique lifestyles in China.
This study conducts fieldwork in Danwei communities,collecting data through 17 in depth interviews. Based on this data,a coding system is constructed to analyze the everyday information practices within these communities. Drawing on the four core tenets of Chatman's theory—small world,worldview,social norms,and social types—this study delves into the everyday information practices of Danwei communities. It aims to assess the theory's relevance to Chinese society and to explore its adaptability across diverse cultural landscapes.
Research findings reveal four key insights. First,geographic and social factors have driven Danwei communities to develop closed information environments that effectively satisfy members daily information requirements. Second,these communities are marked by a collective thinking centered worldview embedded in daily information practices through guidelines and norms. Members work and life information is closely connected,forming a unified,varied,and harmonious community culture and its forms of expression. Third,Danwei communities outline acceptable information practices,offering the group direction and order,and molding individuals subjective information activities. Fourth,Danwei communities grant members a collective sense of “insider” status and legitimate social standing. They also internally construct a complex social type distribution system that integrates the three community roles of geography,profession,and kinship based on differences in information practices within the context.
Additionally,the research explores the permeability and context dependency of small world boundaries by analyzing the interplay between work and life,the patterns of hierarchical and collective activities,and the role based generational dynamics within the communities information practices. This research demonstrates the applicability of Chatman's theory in non Western settings during the same time period,broadens the range of target communities,and investigates information activities across the boundaries of small worlds. It offers innovative perspectives and methodologies for addressing information inequality and contributes to preserving the historical memory of Chinese industrialization from an information perspective. Moreover,it enhances the integration of communities into the information era. 1 fig. 1 tab. 63 refs.
