揭示信息系统研究中的审美观如何决定哪些问题值得研究
Aesthetic Perspectives in Information Systems Research: A Hermeneutic Analysis
- 从诠释学出发，提炼出四种影响研究取向的审美视角
- 发现主流框架忽视了算法管理与数字亲密关系中的隐性维度
- 为学者提供分析研究边界与理论构建的新语言工具
信息系统（IS）研究中哪些议题被视为值得探索，往往受制于深层的审美预设。本文通过诠释学文献分析，揭示支撑IS研究的四大审美范式：模仿之美、感官体验、世界建构与政治实践。这些范式塑造了学者对人机社会现象的感知与评价标准，进而定义了研究的可识别范围与盲区。通过将算法管理与数字亲密关系置于该框架下分析，我们发现替代性视角能激发新问题，并揭示主流叙事所忽略的层面。本研究强调美学哲学在IS领域的关键作用，为讨论理论构建、方法选择与学术贡献提供了新的概念工具。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
How might implicit aesthetic perspectives shape what Information Systems (IS) scholarship recognises as worthy of study (or not)? In this hermeneutic literature analysis, we surface foundational aesthetic assumptions underpinning IS research. We identify four perspectives (aesthetics as imitation, sensory experience, world-making, and political doing) that guide how IS scholars perceive and appreciate sociotechnical phenomena. These perspectives influence what becomes recognisable as legitimate research and what remains unseen. By making aesthetic assumptions explicit, we show how they form epistemic infrastructure that conditions horizons of inquiry. We apply this framework to algorithmic management and digitally mediated intimacy, revealing how alternative perspectives open new research questions whilst exposing dimensions that dominant framings overlook. This analysis foregrounds the importance of aesthetic philosophy to IS literature, offering a vocabulary for articulating how aesthetic perspectives shape theorising, method, and contribution.
