Research in Junction of the Media Theories and the Allegorical Thought of Walter Benjamin

1.在本研究中，语言媒体的发展也被认为与电影或摄影等图像媒体的发展平行，这是本雅明媒介理论的主要对象。在这个过程中，薄膜可以被理解为两个介质轴交汇的阶段。在这种推测中，麦克卢汉之后媒体理论的一维思维模型（口头-识字-技术媒体）相应地被重构为一个具有双轴框架的模型。媒介的两极：技术与魔力艺术作品在其初始阶段所具有的魔力和身体元素，随着媒介的发展而逐渐减少。另一方面，也可以认识到，至少在从文字媒介向技术媒介的发展中，存在着获得虚拟身体感受的相反过程。同样，魔法的要素也不会在其“世俗化”的过程中完全消失；在技术再生产的最终阶段，区分“现实”和再生产变得不可能了，于是又出现了另一种魔法，用它来创造一个（虚拟的）世界。本雅明的寓言思维本身就是一种思维模式，它超越了早期超文本理论家的概念。我们今天看到的超文本和网络环境，甚至似乎是本雅明的思维模式应该逐步实现的过程。本雅明的寓言思想一方面与超文本理论有一定的亲近性，但又与媒介理论有一个关键的分歧，因为它从根本上是以神学思想为基础的。在他的历史观中，媒介发展的世界是走向灾难的“历史”世界。

1.Image Media and Language Media in Benjamin's Media TheoryIn this research the development of the language media is also considered parallel to that of the image media as film or photography which have been the main objects in the context of Benjamin's media theory. In this Process the film can be understood as the phase in which the two axes of media come to a junction. In this speculation the one-dimensional thought model of the media theories after McLuhan (orality - literacy -'technological media) is accordingly restructured into a model with a two-axial frame.2.Tow Poles of Media : Technology and MagicElements of the magic and the body which the work of art possesses in its primary phase are to diminish according to the development of the media. On the other hand it could also be recognized that the contrary process of gaining virtual body feelings exits at least in the development from the writing media to the technological media. Also the elements of the magic do not vanish completely in the process of its "secularization"; in the ultimate phase of the technological reproduction it becomes impossible to distinguish the "reality" and the reproduction, and so emerges another magic with which the word should create a (virtual) world again.3.Allegorical Thought and HypertextAs a thought model by itself Benjamin's allegorical thought goes beyond the concepts of the early hypertext theorists. Hypertexts and the web environment as we see them today even seem to be a process in which Benjamin's thought model should be gradually realized. Benjamin's allegorical thought shows certainly an affinity to the hypertext theory on the one hand, but there exits a crucial point where it splits with the media theory, since it fundamentally bases upon a theological thought. For his concept of history the world where the media develop is the world of the "history" which goes toward a catastrophe.
