Abstract

With the development of the mobile Internet, people are overwhelmed with the upgrading of social media platforms and functions. This undoubtedly provides users with multiple and open access to interaction, infiltrates new ways of social networking. This important change not only presents considerable opportunities for the new age society but also creates the “perfect platform” for the struggle for social media discourse transferred from offline. However, how this transfer can further exert the discourse struggle of social communication media while continuing the previous social interaction needs to be reconsidered. The process of intensive interaction between social media and social development strengthens the possibility of traditional discursive struggle. This also shows that although the forms of social interaction have changed, they have not changed the basic reality of human social interaction. This interactive process of discourse and struggle that occurs in social interaction continues to deepen, evolve, continue and reconstruct the discursive struggle. If we take Habermas’ theory of communicative action as the discursive framework, and take the discursive struggle in social media as the communicative variable in the “public sphere”, then we can find that the key factors that affect the emergence and evolution of discursive struggle are relative to the model that the “ego” integrates into social media for his or her discursive struggle.
