A Study Of Digital Aesthetic Trends In North America

Since the 1990 s,the rapid development of digital technology,and the collision and integration of humanities and art,gave birth to new literary forms and aesthetic experience.It is very necessary to discuss and summarize the important digital aesthetic research results in different regions,different schools and different periods,and explore new aesthetic development paths.After several generations of painstaking efforts,digital humanities and social studies in North America have accumulated many classical theories,such as "media ecology" and "posthumanism".They are closely connected with the trend of The Times.They are transnational,interdisciplinary and cross-media,connecting philosophy,aesthetics,communication,sociology,psychology and even computer science and biology,from oral communication to radio,television,computers,the Internet,virtual reality and mobile communication.Understanding New Media: Extending Mc Luhan by Robert Logan,a Canadian scholar;Digital Mc Luhan: A Guide to Informationization and the New Age by Paul Levinson,an American scholar;How We Become the New Human Being: How We Become the New Human Being by N.Katharine Hyers,an American scholar.Cybernetics,Literature,Informatics and the Virtual Agent in the Writing Machine,and The Political Economy of Communication by Vincent Mosko,a Canadian scholar,are some of the most influential works.However,there are still few specialized works on digital aesthetic research.Many scholars often discuss digital aesthetic occasionally when discussing social and cultural issues.Relevant research results are scattered in various literatures,which need to be collected and refined.This paper aims to extract,sort,sort out,comment,summarize,and generate fragmentary and scattered discourse of the North American theorists,especially the "media ecology" and "posthumanist" theorists,sort out the relevant aesthetic problems and research context,and construct the "system",so as to provide reference for our digital literature and art aesthetic research.Promote the development of literature and art and aesthetics theory.This paper consists of three parts: introduction,text and conclusion.The introduction part states the reason and assumption of the topic,sorts out and analyzes the relevant research status and trend,and summarizes the innovation points of the paper.The text consists of four chapters,mainly on the North American theorists of the "production control copy" era of the aesthetic situation,under the influence of digital technology aesthetic practice,the change of digital aesthetic experience,posthuman aesthetic conception of the analysis and research,perspective,reflection.The first chapter elaborates the thinking and exploration of North American theorists in view of the impact of digital technology on art and the renewal of aesthetic practice.The second chapter combs the theoretical analysis of North American theorists on digital technology,digital narrative,media and related media and aesthetic issues;The third chapter focuses on immersion poetics and algorithmic sensibility to analyze and reflect on the digital aesthetic experience of North American theorists.The fourth chapter studies the influence of posthumanism and other related theories on the pluralism of social humanities.The conclusion part makes a brief summary of the whole thesis.
