The media plays a very important role in people's daily life and social development.In the context of the current rapid development of globalized information,the media builds a network of information dissemination by relying on its own characteristics of diversification,speed,and comprehensiveness of information dissemination.,So that individuals and groups in this era are affected to varying degrees.Modern media represented by smartphones are quietly entering ethnic minority villages,becoming an important tool for villagers to connect to the world,obtain information,understand people's livelihood,and socialize.The traditional social space of ethnic minority villages is changing under the influence of modern media.This change is not only a change in physical space,but also a concentrated display of various forces and new social relations.Introducing the research perspective of space production into the analysis of the case of Ulan Maodu Sumu,we can discover the media's intervention and influence on the traditional social space of the village,highlighting that modern media has become an important force and factor in the space production and reconstruction of a traditional village.In this article,Lefebvre's theory of space production is mainly used.Through the research methods of participatory observation and interviews,the investigation and research of Ulan Maodu Sumu in Xing'an League of Inner Mongolia are conducted,and the media's influence on the traditional social space of this minority village is discussed.The impact and how the media participates in the reconstruction of the rural social space.The introduction briefly introduces the research origin of this article,and demonstrates the research significance of this research by summarizing the current research status of spatial production theory and media and rural society.The first part analyzes the traditional social space form of Ulan Maodu Sumu.The study found that the traditional social space of Ulan Maodu Sumu consists of three spaces: daily life space based on "kinship",ritual space emphasizing local identity,and public space as a field of communication,and the three spaces are not isolated.But existence,but mutual influence,the boundary between them is not obvious,and they often cross or overlap.The second part discusses the period of mediaization.The media has become a part of the traditional rural social space and its influence on the traditional rural social space.The media provides a virtual social space for daily life space,so that villagers at the edge of information can also participate in the interactive communication in the village;the media witnesses the traditional ritual space,becomes a participant in ritual activities,and retains the collective memory of the villagers;The media in the traditional public space provides villagers with channels to participate in village government affairs and promotes the construction of local public spaces;the media enables every villager to participate in the construction of the media space,and the media space in Ulan Maodu Sumu is dominated by the government Transform into a media space involving the villagers and the government.In the third part,as the media penetrates into the rural social space,its influence on the traditional social space is also deepened,reconstructing the rural traditional social space,and on this basis,producing new social relations and spaces.The media has changed the mode of interpersonal communication,the way of information dissemination,and the relationship between people and the media,thereby reconstructing the living space;the skilled use of the media has enabled ethnic minorities to gain the right to cultural expression,use the media to promote their own culture,and enhance their sense of ethnic identity.The cultural space that only spread mainstream culture and opinions in the past is reconstructed;the rise of the rural cyberspace makes the traditional rural public space decay and is reconstructed by the media.In addition,the media constructs the right space and new social connections that exist depending on the dissemination of information and the conversion of family status.The last part mainly draws on Lefebvre's ternary theory of space production,and constructs a model diagram of the social space reconstruction of Ulan Maodu Sumu,which can more intuitively discover the influence of the media on the traditional rural social space,and the media has become This is an important factor in the reconstruction of traditional rural social space.
