Dispersed Identity: The Technology Logic of Modern Identity Reconstruction in Network Society
A stable society needs the construction and maintenance of identity. In modern society, the Subject's cognition and understanding of itself, the definition and judgment of the other, the sharing and interpretation of meaning and value, will profoundly affect the consensus basis of the community of society. Network society is a society characterized by virtual technology and flowing relationship. In this new space where people are be connected at all times, the stable social identity is confronted with the technical paradox of "De essentialism" and "decentralization". In the cyberspace, the enlargement of otherness conflict leads to new identity crisis, this re?exivity defnition and reinforcement of self and others, will fnally be a new proposition of national identity in modern society. The technological logic of the network society is reconstructing the identity of this kind of traditional grand narrative structure, making the identity of nation and state from convergent central radiation to dispersed of spheres. Only by understanding the new logic of technology can we guide the modern identity in the network society, and constructing the social consensus basis and the order of the network society.
