The boundaries and transgressions of children in network era
童年、游戏与禁忌：网络时代儿童的边界与越界

摘要

儿童的“成人化”现象与之伴随的儿童各项禁令日益繁多。在网络时代秘辛曝露下，成人对儿童符号环境控制力衰弱，儿童与成人的边界不断扩大。被成人视为他者的儿童，加于儿童的“禁忌”越发繁多，但繁多的禁忌并没能禁绝儿童的“成人化”现象。通过巴塔耶越界理论的观点，探索儿童越界行为的动因，儿童“越界”成为成人，在对童年受锢愈繁多禁忌时，童年“游戏”的越界行为成为了儿童自我的补完。

Abstract

The phenomenon of "adultification" of children is accompanied by an increasing number of prohibitions imposed on them. In the era of the internet, with the exposure of secrets, adults' control over children's symbolic environment has weakened, leading to a continuous blurring of the boundaries between children and adults. Children, who are perceived as "others" by adults, face an ever-growing list of "taboos." However, these numerous taboos have not been able to eradicate the phenomenon of "adultification" among children. Drawing upon Georges Bataille's theory of transgression, we can explore the motivations behind children's transgressive behaviors. As children "transgress" into adulthood, in the face of an increasing number of prohibitions that constrain childhood, the transgressive act of "play" becomes a means for children to complete their self-realization.
