摘　　要：晚清电报进入、网络铺展及其嵌入政治传播的过程表明,新媒介与权力中心的再造,同时也是电报网络对驿传等旧媒介所建构、维系的空间与社会联系之网的重构。电报官方控制的体制促成了统治者军事政治信息传播的强化,但也引发了晚清在全球空间中的进一步边缘化、信息传播中心的分化,特别是从内部动摇了旧有时空观念支撑下的统治合法性。作为新式流动空间,电报与新式日报的联姻,更直接促成了"想像的中国共同体"出现。帝制王朝的终结象征着无论何种权力中心及其合法性的再造,都必须面对新媒介所型构的新的社会交往关系。This paper examines the rise of telegraph network and the reconstruction of policy space in the late Qing Dynasty.The telegraph network strengthened the emperor's central position and the government's control over the flow of military political information embedded into the official information system dominated by YiChuan(postal delivery system in Chinese history).But it also stimulated the differentiation of power center and shook the legitimacy braced by old time-space ideas.As a new type of flowing space,the marriage between telegraph and newspaper expanded the horizontal connection between different social strata and promoted the shaping of an 'imagined Chinese community'.This paper tries to explain how the telegraph network was involved in the construction of Chinese communication modernity based on its technical characteristics and communication mode.
