中文摘要:

      基于湾村的田野调查,从想象的可供性视角分析乡村老年人数字融入与其数字想象的关系。研究发现,湾村老年人数字融入水平整体偏低,极少中高水平融入和大量低水平融入之间出现断崖;无智能手机的老年人存在防御、矛盾和低需三种消极数字想象;使用智能手机的老年人大部分持有消磨时间和再社会化两种有限的积极数字想象,仅极少数存有提高生活质量的积极数字想象。研究还揭示了数字想象特征对乡村老年人数字融入水平的三种影响:消极想象阻碍融入、有限的积极想象延缓融入、积极想象驱动融入。其影响的生成,可从想象的可供性三维度(物质性、体验和情感)得到解释。

英文摘要:

      Drawing on fieldwork in Wan Village,this study investigates the relationship between digital inclusion and digital imagination among the rural elderly through the theoretical lens of imagined affordance.The results demonstrate that the elderly in Wan Village generally exhibit low levels of digital inclusion,marked by a sharp divide between a small minority with moderate to high inclusion and a majority with minimal inclusion.Among non smartphone users,three forms of negative digital imagination were identified:defensive,ambivalent,and low need.As for older smartphone users,most displayed limited positive digital imaginations,such as passing time and re-socialization,while only a very small number developed a positive digital imagination focused on life enhancement.The nature of digital imagination influences the degree of digital inclusion in three distinct ways:negative imagination impedes inclusion,limited positive imagination delays it,and positive imagination promotes it.Three dimensions of imagined affordance:the materiality of mobile phones,the digital experiences,emotional practice of the rural elderly,collectively explain how digital imagination translates into digital inclusion.
