Abstract/Summary:
Matchmaking is one of the main ways for people to build a marriage relationship.In recent years,the change of media technology has affected people’s daily practice,and the act of dating has also changed its form against the background of technological change,and dating software has gradually become one of the main ways for young people to build marriage relationships.Highly educated young people have an advantage in the dating market because of their "highly educated" social identity,and they are the main force of dating.However,the "difficulty in getting off" is still a hot issue for the media and society.This paper focuses on the online dating behavior of highly educated young people,and uses in-depth interviews,participant observation and text analysis to obtain research data,and describes the conceptual categories and attributes of all data through rooting theory.This paper describes the four aspects of Foucault’s governance technique-production technique,symbolic system technique,power domination technique and self technique-respectively,the functional settings of dating software to analyze the characteristics of online dating,the online symbolization of personal image and the symbolization of interactive behaviors and of individuals in the dating software platform,technology and social traditional concepts on the highly educated The analysis of the features of online dating software,the online symbolization of personal image,the interactive behavior and symbolization of individuals in the dating software platform,the binding and domination of technology and traditional social concepts on the highly educated youth group,and how the highly educated youth group completes self-restructuring.From the perspective of "production technology",we systematically summarize that the current online matchmaking relies on technological development and realizes"customization" of matchmaking through simulated two-way matching,collaborative screening and payment mechanism,which makes online matchmaking integrate the traditional matchmaking model and "free love".This makes online dating a blend of the traditional dating model and the autonomy in "free love".The information pre-function in the personal homepage of the dating software and the feature of online communication breaking the time and space limitation have realized the "acceleration" of matchmaking.From the perspective of "symbolic system technology",it is found that the trend of symbolizing and pursuing idealization of online image reflects the charm of symbolic system technology on the one hand,and on the other hand,it also creates a crisis of trust caused by the separation of online and offline images.From the perspective of"technology of power domination",it is found that the "technology of production" and"technology of symbolic system" are used to "technically" bind the highly educated young people.The "technology of power domination" is found to be the "technology of production" and the "technology of symbolic system" that binds the group of highly educated young people,while the individuals are always accepting and fighting against the traditional concept of society.Finally,the "self-technology" perspective gives a complete account of the process of the individual’s unfolding "self-technology"-retaining the recognized "old Finally,the "self-technology" perspective has fully elaborated the process of individuals’ development of "self-technology"-retaining the recognized "old" self and submitting to the discipline,and finally reconstructing the"new" self.Based on this,this paper summarizes the results of online dating behaviors of highly educated youth,and analyzes the characteristics of online dating behaviors of highly educated youth,the relationship between the four types of techniques in governance,and the influence of online dating techniques on people’s establishment of romantic relationships and the changes of interpersonal communication in modern society.
