后亚文化视域下青年“数字仪式”实践的行为动机与功能研究——基于涂尔干失范与仪式理论的分析

A Study on the Behavioral Motivations and Function of Youth’s “Digital Ritual” Practices from a Post-Subcultural Perspective—An Analysis Based on Durkheim’s Theory of Anomie and Ritual

摘要: 互联网的普及推动了以青年为主体的网络亚文化持续迭代发展。“数字仪式”实践作为新兴的网络后亚文化现象，在社会层面引发流行趋势，深受大学生群体喜爱。这一现象并非简单的网络娱乐，而是反映了当代青年精神困境的一种“结构性表征”。研究以后亚文化为现象定位，以涂尔干的失范与仪式理论为分析框架，剖析转型期青年出现的普遍性焦虑、无意义感与疏离感的深层原因，继而将数字仪式理解为青年试图在微观层面重建秩序感与意义感的实践。通过小范围深度访谈对理论推演进行经验验证，并反思了此类数字仪式的功能边界与潜在风险。

Abstract: The widespread use of the internet has driven the continuous evolution of youth-centered online subcultures. As an emerging post-subcultural phenomenon, “digital rituals” have sparked popular trends at the societal level and gained significant popularity among college students. This phenomenon is not merely a form of online entertainment but rather a “structural representation” reflecting the spiritual struggles of contemporary youth. Positioning this phenomenon within the framework of post-subculture and using Durkheim’s theory of anomie and ritual as an analytical lens, this study explores the underlying causes of the widespread anxiety, sense of meaninglessness, and alienation experienced by youth during a period of social transition. It interprets digital rituals as practices through which young people attempt to reconstruct a sense of order and meaning at the micro-level. Through in-depth interviews with small groups, the study empirically validates theoretical insights and reflects on the functional boundaries and potential risks associated with such digital rituals.
