澳門電視的去政治化

在美資挹注下搖身一變成為「亞洲的拉斯維加斯」的中國賭城澳門，自2002年賭權開放、市場急遽擴張以來，面臨著不斷惡化的政治民主生活。澳門特區政府在鞏固新的統治權力結構的過程中，一直處心積慮操控本地大眾傳媒的輿論，並積極採取行政手段保護特定財團的既得利益，其干預過程均排除了公眾的監督及參與。本文以近年來澳門本地電視台澳廣視的新聞報導的反民主傾向、以及引發當地公共爭議的電視訊號中斷事件為討論焦點，檢視澳廣視的產權結構、新聞報導和電視訊號的網絡傳輸權利配置，是如何在一國兩制下的後殖民轉化過程中成為不均衡的社會力量相互博奕的鬥爭場域，並構成新的政治壓制形式，讓電視媒體成為瓦解異議、從屬於新的權力秩序的工具。澳門的歷史經驗表明了澳門公共空間的去政治化並不是回歸中國後才有的特殊現象，而是混雜了葡萄牙晚期殖民統治邏輯與官僚文化，伴隨著新自由主義所強化的後果。最後，我們指出電視系統的民主化可能，需要以超越市場意識型態的「轉化性想像」作為思想起點。

This essay investigates the problem of the media and democracy in post-handover Macau. Ever since the former Portuguese colonial outpost was opened up to foreign casino entrepreneurs in 2002 and transformed to Asia's new gambling capital, the problem of democracy has come into focus as a crucial issue. The dramatic economic growth caused an unanticipated backlash from the politically activated public, yet the media, particularly TDM-a local terrestrial TV station owned by the Macau SAR government-continues to serve as a docile government mouthpiece, undermining the necessary conditions for democratic governance. This essay analyzes TDM's ownership structure, journalistic practices, as well as recent disputes over TV signal relay service, examining how the domain of television is increasingly 'depoliticized' and isolated from broader struggles for democracy. The tendency of depoliticization, characterized by the absence of informed, democratic participation in media policymaking, coincides with the city's integration into the global circuits of capital. Macau's historical experience reveals how the corrupt and secretive enactment of policies inherits the colonial legacy, disorganizes dissent, and legitimizes the anti-democratic forces of neoliberalism. A viable democratic prospect for reforming the present media system should begin with a 'transformative imagination' that goes beyond the rhetoric of 'free market'.
