“交通”的概念无论从历史还是现在的意义上来说，涵盖了与互动、沟通、交换和运输相关的文化过程的广泛领域。这些涉及生物和符号、事物和能量、物质和精神物体、数量和质量的循环的文化过程基于一系列技术，这些技术可能呈现出相当不同的表现形式，但至少有一个共同点：所讨论的技术代表手段“媒体”，它在自然环境、社会实践、文化语义和物质基础设施之间建立了千丝万缕的联系。本书着手从媒体理论的角度探索和研究这些基本关系。 2012 年 3 月在德国帕德博恩大学举行的国际会议 Media Transatlantic iv: Traffic 提供了有助于形成这一观点的制度框架。 1 这次活动汇聚了来自加拿大、美国、以色列、新西兰、奥地利和德国的学者，延续了 2007 年开始的一系列跨大西洋研讨会：重读麦克卢汉。
The notion of ‘traffic,’taken in its historical as well as in its current sense, covers a wide field of cultural processes related to interaction, communication, exchange, and transport. These cultural processes, involving the circulation of living beings and signs, things and energies, physical and mental objects, quantities and qualities, are based on a range of technologies that may assume quite diverse manifestations, but have at least one thing in common: the technologies in question represent means,‘media,’which establish inextricable links between natural environments, social practices, cultural semantics, and material infrastructures.The present volume sets out to explore and investigate these fundamental relationships from the perspective of media theory. The institutional framing that helped to prepare this perspective was provided by the international conference Media Transatlantic iv: Traffic held in March 2012 at the University of Paderborn, Germany. 1 This event, which brought together scholars from Canada, the United States, Israel, New Zealand, Austria, and Germany, continued a series of transatlantic symposia that began in 2007: Re-Reading McLuhan.
