網路論壇與國家機器的碰撞：從三個新聞事件看大陸網路論壇對公共性的實踐

The Collision of the Internet Forum and the State Apparatus: The 'Publicity' Practice of Mainland China's Internet Forum from Three News Event

新興科技與網際網路的興起，不僅為中國大陸提供了一個新的傳播工具與資訊平台，同時也對於中共的政治控制與社會參與帶來許多衝擊和挑戰。中共對於網路一方面採取開放手段，另一方面，中共也採取封閉許多異議份子網站、設立防火牆等措施。足以顯示，中共領導者對於網際網路產業的矛盾心態。本文由網路論壇實踐「公共性」的角度出發，選取三個新聞事件：「哈爾濱寶馬車撞人事件」、「《南方都市報》編輯人員被捕入罪事件」、以及「反日遊行」。以論壇搜索方式，進行三個新聞事件的質化觀察。研究結果歸納出四項研究發現與兩個現象。研究發現為：網路論壇發揮「公共性」，提供更大的公共議題討論空間與近用權；網路論壇激起網民的主動參與和建構意義認知系統；網路論壇改變了傳統宣傳控制；網路論壇受到國家機器的干預。兩個現象為：網路論壇出現知識菁英份子；網路論壇產生社會動員力量。簡言之，中國大陸網路論壇的發展，產生與國家機器間的碰撞現象，並使得過去透過傳統傳媒所從事的宣傳控制力量，不斷被削弱。

The rise of new technology and the Internet has not only provided a new communication tool and information platform for mainland China, but it also brings many impacts and challenges upon the Chinese Communist Party's political control and policies of social participation. On the one hand, The Chinese government encouraged Internet development. However, on the other hand, it set up a firewall and tried to close down some deviant websites. It shows the contradictions of the Chinese leaders towards the Internet industry. From the perspective of 'publicity' practice in the Internet forum, this study analyzed the public opinions posted on the Internet forums in the following three news events, which were the 'BMW car accident', 'the arrest of the editors of the 'Southern Metropolis Daily'', and the 'Anti-Japan demonstration'. The four findings are as follows: (1) the Internet forum provides the function of 'publicity' and offers more space for the discussion of public issues and access rights to its users; (2) the Internet forum inspires participations and forms a new constructing meaning system; (3) the Internet forum changes the traditional propaganda control; (4) and the Internet forum has been interfered by the state apparatus. Moreover, there are two phenomenon: the power elites play the role of opinion leaders in the Internet forum, and the Internet forum has the strength to launch social mobilization. Finally, the development of the Internet forum has created a collision between the state apparatus and itself. As a result, the Internet forum undermined the government media's power of setting the agenda and weakened the power of propaganda control.
