摘要:

意义贫困是个体在主导意义系统中的工具性意义与价值性意义连接发生断裂所致。由于当代青年在成家立业、出人头地的主导意义系统中面临工具性意义压力过重,以及在价值多元冲击下价值性意义存在一定偏移,青年在学校、职场、家庭生活中经常遭遇意义贫困,线上线下社会流动性的加大,他者状态和自身境遇的对比,又会进一步强化相对意义贫困。为纾解这一难题,青年往往借助次属意义系统的集体仪式来建构和传递社会意义,“进淄赶烤”就是青年追求意义体验的集体仪式。青年通过烧烤建构和传递着快乐、人情味的积极意义,但因难以在主导意义系统中建立工具性和价值性的良性连接,加之资本裹挟下网红热点层出不穷,青年在热点切换中无法真正纾解意义贫困。

Abstract:

The popularity of Zibo barbecue can be seen as a collective ritual of contemporary youth in the face of meaning poverty to some extent. Meaning poverty arises from the disconnection between instrumental and intrinsic meanings in an individual’s dominant meaning system, and it can also lead to relative meaning poverty in social comparisons. Due to excessive pressure on instrumental meanings in the dominant meaning system of getting married and getting ahead, as well as the deviation of value meaning under the impact of multiple values, young people often encounter meaning poverty in their studies, careers and family lives. Moreover, the disparity between the internet and reality will intensify relative meaning poverty. In order to alleviate this problem, young people often construct and transmit social meaning through the collective ceremony of the sub-meaning system, and “ Barbecue in Zibo” is the collective ceremony of youth’s pursuit of meaning experience. Although the barbecue of youth constructs and transmits the positive meaning of happiness and human touch, it cannot really alleviate the poverty of meaning because it cannot establish the benign connection between instrumental and value in the dominant meaning system and is bound by capital power.
