Black Fantasy——An Analysis of the Social Ethics of Nosedive in Black Mirror

摘要

互联网技术的不断发展使得人们的社交生活变的快捷,但与此同时,人与人之间相处的方式也在发生着变化。现代人利用社会化媒体进行的“数据化表演”正在改变着自己，且在此过程中引发的伦理问题也让人担忧。隐私暴露、网络暴力、恐惧真实的社交活动、人与人之间缺乏真诚与信任、虚假信息等,都是容易引发社会问题的不安定因素,不利于我国建设和谐社会的发展。本文研究的对象《急转直下》（来源于英剧《黑镜》第三季第一集），正是讲述了在科技影响下异化的社交。

文章试图通过文学伦理学批评理论分析剧中人物的社交行为，由引言，结语和中间三部分组成。引言部分介绍了《黑镜》以及《急转直下》的主要内容及相关背景。中间部分又可分为三个章节。第一章分为两部分，首先介绍前辈关于《急转直下》的相关研究，其次阐述伦理批评这一概念。第二章从伦理视角探讨剧中人物的社交行为，分别涉及人与社会，人与他人，人与自我这三个方面。第三章分析网络视角下社交行为的异化，又分为三部分，首先分析导致社交异化的原因，接着探讨社交异化的表现，最后提出解决途径和相关建议。

本文旨在呼吁人们重视社会道德伦理，形成健康积极的社交动机并指导其行为，促进社会道德的健康发展。
