在近年欧洲媒介研究的潮流中，尤西·帕里卡教授的媒介研究取向可谓独树一帜。在笔者对他的访谈中，他提出，媒介是一个电磁波的世界，是一个物理数据中心的世界，是一个信号传输和材料制造的世界，也是一个由从矿山到工厂的物流和供应链支撑的世界。因此，他将媒介理解为一个“物质事件”，是那些规范我们世界的技术和技艺。同时，他注重考察媒介全新的非人类时间性，并尝试通过“媒介自然”的概念揭示媒介是如何与自然深度纠缠在一起的。这为理解媒介的物质性打开了一个新面向。

In the trend of media research in Europe in recent years, Professor Jussi Parikka and his research are unique. He believes that media is a world of electromagnetic waves, of physical data centres, of signal transmission and material fabrication; it is a world underpinned by logistics and supply chains, from mines to factories. Therefore, he understood media as a “material things”, which is the technology and skills that regulate our world. At the same time, he pays attention to the new non-human temporality of media, and tries to reveal how media and nature are deeply intertwined through the concept of “media nature”. This opens a new direction for understanding the materiality of media.
