商品描述

Digital media have become deeply immersed in our lives, heightening both hopes and fears of their affordances. While the internet, mobile phones, and social media offer their users many options, they also engender concerns about their manipulations and intrusions. Emotions Online explores the visions that shape responses to media and the emotional regimes that govern people's engagements with them.

This book critically examines evidence on the role of digital media in emotional life. Offering a sociological perspective, and using ideas from science and technology studies and media studies, it explores:

. The dimensions and operations of the online emotional economy

. Growing concerns about online harms and abuse, especially to children

. 'Deep-fakes' and other forms of image-based abuse

. The role of hope in shaping online behaviours

. 'Digital wellbeing' and its market

. COVID-19's impacts on perceptions of digital media and Big Tech

. Growing challenges to centralised control of the internet, and the implications for future emotional life

The book breaks new ground in the sociological study of digital media and the emotions. It reveals the dynamics of online emotional regimes showing how deceptive designs and algorithm-driven technologies serve to attract and engage users. As it argues, digital media rely on the emotional labours of many people, including social media influencers and content moderators who make the internet seem smart. The book provides an invaluable overview of the evidence and debates on the role of digital media in emotional life and guidance for future research, policy, and action.

數位媒體已深深融入我們的生活,提升了人們對其功能的期望和擔憂。雖然互聯網、手機和社交媒體為用戶提供了許多選擇,但也引發了對其操控和侵入的擔憂。《Emotions Online》探討了塑造對媒體回應的視野以及統治人們與媒體互動的情感體制。

本書批判性地檢視了數位媒體在情感生活中的作用的證據。以社會學的角度出發,並借鑒科學技術研究和媒體研究的思想,探討了以下內容:

- 在線情感經濟的維度和運作方式
- 對線上傷害和虐待的日益關注,尤其是對兒童的影響
- 「深偽」和其他形式的基於圖像的虐待
- 希望在塑造線上行為中的角色
- 「數位福祉」及其市場
- COVID-19對數位媒體和大型科技公司的影響
- 對互聯網集中控制的日益挑戰,以及對未來情感生活的影響

本書在數位媒體和情感的社會學研究中開創了新的領域。它揭示了線上情感體制的動態,展示了欺騙性設計和算法驅動技術如何吸引和吸引用戶。正如本書所主張的,數位媒體依賴許多人的情感勞動,包括社交媒體影響者和內容審核人員,他們使互聯網看起來聰明。本書提供了對數位媒體在情感生活中的作用的證據和辯論的寶貴概述,並為未來的研究、政策和行動提供指導。
