With the development of science and technology and the disenchantment of the world,mankind has gradually got rid of obscurity and attachment,and entered modern society with the face of rationality and autonomy.The spiritual crystallization required by the human society to move into a modern society is bred and hatched by the hotbed of the Enlightenment.Modern science and technology and the rationality of science and technology are not the rational spirit brought about by the enlightenment.In Foucault's assertion,the boundary between rationality and irrationality is not a product of nature,but the construction of power.The operation of power runs through the history of mankind.The core issue of modern society and even human society is the issue of power.In the present,the rational spirit and science and technology that began in the Enlightenment created a new space for action for human society.The Internet is the expansion of modern social space.It provides a new platform for human activities and also provides Wider space and greater vitality for power.Foucault regards modern society as a disciplined society and a large prison,and at the end of his life,he tries his best to find a way out for modern people.When Foucault's disciplinary power penetrates into the network society,the power effect is widely spread.Disciplinary training is more common and profound,and Foucault ' s high wall that seems to be overstepping seems to be unattainable.From the perspective of Foucault's micropower theory,this paper attempts to describe and analyze the power relations,power operation,power technology and power discipline in the network society,and explore the power logic behind the various phenomena in the network society to propose modern people.The problem that cannot be avoided in online life-the issue of power.The article is divided into four parts:The first part mainly explains the Internet as a platform for social life,and there is inevitably a power relationship.The power relations in the network society are mainly presented in the form of micro,pluralism,dispersion and flow.With the continuous popularization and development of the Internet,human beings have formed close social connections on the Internet platform,and the Internet already has a social structure.The network society has become an inseparable part of the real society.The ubiquitous and pervasive power in modern society naturally extends to all aspects of the network society.Dueto the diversity of power subjects and the complexity of power relations in the network society,the research methods centered on macropower cannot explain the power phenomenon and power mode in the network society well,and the micropower level of the network society.The analysis is more in line with the characteristics of the network society.The second part enters the network society from the perspective of micropower,and describes and analyzes the power relations,power operation,power structure and marginal zones in the network society.In network social relations,power is always present as a symbol,but it does not have a certain center of power,but presents a complex network of interlaced.No individual,state institution or social organization has a fixed position in the power relations network.They are also subject to power while exercising power.In the network society,the boundaries between mainstream groups and marginal groups,mainstream culture and subculture are established by rational norms and powers.The definition of reason is often in the hands of mainstream people.The expression of marginal groups and marginal culture is regarded as A kind of "madness." From the perspective of micropower,cyber violence completes the deployment of power through the power of discourse,defines the edge,and rejects madness.The third part mainly discusses the discipline of power in the network society.The panoramic open-view prison is the perfect discipline in modern society.With the advent of the era of big data,data collection and analysis technology is constantly evolving.The network society is actually a panoramic prison of technology plus version,and people become objects of being recorded,observed and written.Foucault's three types of disciplines,such as hierarchical surveillance,standardized rulings and inspections,described in Discipline and Punishment combine emerging Internet technologies,and use the “ symbol-technical ”punishment to control and manipulate people to ensure complexity.The network society can be healthy.More than this,the media as a power system,through the signal system or symbolic symbols to export popular culture,idol culture,consumer culture and other cultural forms,the power network as an intermediary to promote ideological products.The fourth part expounds the construction of the image of power to people in the network society from the perspective of knowledge sociology.The knowledge in the information society is characterized by power,technology and commodification.Power makes full use of emerging Internet resources to package and beautify itself.Truth is produced in the “knowledge-power” structure and relies on the Internet.The dissemination of information channels has become a legalized discussion of power.Whether it is the master of truth,the opinion leader,the idol or the net red,it is the embodiment of the combination of micro power and fragmented knowledge.In the network society,people are not only embodied as a collection of data and information,but also as users of online social media,and are surrounded and observed by other users.Under the structure of "knowledge-power",man becomes the object of knowledge construction and power,and becomes a normal person who conforms to the norm in the endless gaze.The question about people is the ultimate point of this article,how people treat power involve how people treat themselves.As an important field of contemporary life,the network society has shaped the image of contemporary people by its power system and knowledge.The imprint of the Internet era will continue as a historical gene of human beings.Even if individuals in the online society cannot get rid of the current social scene,they should be cautiously accepted and learn to refuse.
