中文摘要
媒體正面臨數位化的轉型,並且在馬來西亞民主進程中扮演關鍵性的角色。
本文之研究目的,在於探索新媒體與公共領域的關係,透過 2011 年 7 月 9 日馬
來西亞淨選盟 2.0 遊行集會,檢視人民如何利用新媒體作為發聲工具,形成反抗
霸權的力量。
本研究採取深度訪談法,訪談參與者的親身經驗與民主實踐。研究結果發現
社群網站在此社會運動中表現突出,並具有四大意義:一、替代性公共領域,成
為民意的出口;二、情感動員,提供感知輿論和評估風險的依據,助於實際動員;
三、文化抵抗,強化年輕族群的認同;四、民族凝結,且全球串聯。馬來西亞的
「709 遊行」案例可知,社群網站展現了前所未有的民主潛能,建立在族群基礎
的實體社群,使得效應從虛擬網路世界蔓延到街頭;跨越時空限制的特性,也促
使改革浪潮從國內延燒至國際。
