| Abstract： |
The accelerating revolution of media technologies has changed our modes of thinking and acting, and brought severe challenges to the theoretical research and practice in the fields of technology, society, culture, and communication. Facing the great changes unseen in a century, the new generation of Party and state leaders have made a wealth of remarks on media technologies in the new era by combining Marxism with the situation, and realized the inheritance and development of Marxist concepts on media technologies. This paper makes a comprehensive use of quantitative and qualitative methods, and conducts social network analysis and text analysis on Xi’s speeches and works, in a bid to obtain the key words, development trends and core themes of Xi’s remarks on media technologies. It then elaborates the theoretical framework from three aspects, i.e. the cognition, governance and ethics of media technologies. It finds out that, taking the essence of media technology as an advanced productive force, Xi has made exposition on the driving force of contemporary social changes, and revealed the interaction between media technologies and society. Xi also has applied the Marxist analysis of media technologies to their governance, and explored the socialist ethics of media technologies with Chinese characteristics, which guides the innovation of theoretical research and practice on media technologies with Chinese characteristics. |
