文本的政治經濟學分析：以個人電腦雜誌早期發展為考察對象

A Political-Economic Analysis on the Content of Early PC Magazines in Taiwan

1970年代末期微處理器開始被引入台灣，以微處理器為報導核心的資訊類雜誌也相繼出現。微處理器雜誌不但是個人電腦雜誌的先驅，也讓日後的個人電腦雜誌開始累積個人電腦文本結構與內容編組的經驗。本文試從政治經濟學取徑，來探討微處理器之科技特色、台灣資訊產業發展，以及產業政策等面向，對微處理器雜誌文本形構的影響。微處理器雜誌在文本內容、形式和結構的發展，深刻帶領著日後電腦雜誌對個人電腦報導之想像及認知方向。

Soon after the micro processors were introduced to Taiwanese consumers in the late 1970s, info-tech magazines focusing on micro processors started to appear in the local book market one after another. These magazines then developed into the so-called PC magazines, and therefore had a strong impact on the content and format of PC magazines, as well as on the manufacture of new PC products. From a political economic point of view, this paper discusses how micro processor magazines in Taiwan flourished under the constraint of social and technological factors such as the characteristics of micro processors, the information technology industry, and the industry policy.
