As digitalization binds society to an apparently perpetual acceleration, questions about the nature of time and speed have gained new urgency in the social sciences. Yet, theorizations of these issues have neglected their implications for social life and generations. Linking these lacunae, this article articulates how digital media and social networking sites (SNS) shape social life through cultural transformations in the generation. This article rationalizes predominant patterns of SNS user behaviors in the context of social theoretical and philosophical frameworks informed by Mannheim, Simmel, Adorno, Benjamin, Arendt, social presence, action, and acceleration theories to offer a relational reconceptualization of the generation as a set of social relations and processes for visualizing changing conceptions of time and speed in a digital (izing) modernity. This article introduces the concept of general and local generationing processes to articulate the processual nature of the generation and to assert that trends in SNS use and content production are underwritten by grammatical logics that collectively “flatten” separate traditional generations to form a cross‐demographic and cross‐temporal digital generation.

在数字化(现代化)中重新定义一代:数字媒体,社交网站和扁平化世代

随着数字化将社会束缚在一个永无止境的加速中,关于时间和速度的本质的问题在社会科学中变得越来越紧迫。然而,这些问题的理论化却忽略了它们对社会生活和几代人的影响。链接这些空白,本文阐明了数字媒体和社交网站(SNS)如何通过一代人的文化转变来塑造社会生活。本文在曼海姆,西梅尔,阿多诺,本杰明,阿伦特,社会存在,行动,以及加速理论以提供对一代的关系重新概念化,将其作为一组社会关系和过程来可视化数字化(现代化)中时间和速度的变化概念。本文介绍了一般生成和本地生成过程的概念,以阐明生成的过程性质,并断言SNS使用和内容生产的趋势由语法逻辑所支持,这些语法共同“压扁”分离的传统一代以形成跨人口统计学和跨时间数字生成。
