摘要：
在汉语史上，“谣言”的语义从“记录共同体知识的基本手段”，到“传播民间社会批评的主要方式”，再到“没有事实根据的消息”，经历了巨大演变。从知识生产的视角看，现代谣言的本质就是“在信息供给未能有效满足信息迫切需求的条件下产生的在公共空间故意传播的已被确证的不实陈述”。而在后真相时代，如果每个主体都能自主地、如实地表达自己对世界的理解，那么所谓的“谣言”反而可能成为推进真相建构的不可或缺的动力。

Abstract:
In Chinese history,“rumor”was not initially tantamount to today’s“lying”, whose semantics
experienced a huge evolution: from“basic means of recording community knowledge”, to“main mode
of transmission of civil society criticism”, and“unfounded news”. From the perspective of knowledge
production, the essence of rumors is“the confirmed misstatements deliberately disseminated in the public
space generated when the information supply fails to effectively meet the urgent needs of information”. Thus,
the information monopoly caused signal distortion in the information market may be the biggest motivation
for the production of modern rumors. In the post-truth era, if each individual can autonomously and truthfully
express his understanding of the world, so-called“rumors”may become an indispensable driving force for the construction of truth.
