谣言是公民社会的一个有机组成部分,在一定程度上,谣言促进了社会的稳定。谣言的规模构成了一个倒U型的曲线,适当数量的谣言意味着社会参与、对集体秩序的投入和社会信任;但如果谣言成了主导话语或几近消失了,那就意味着不信任或冷漠(或恐怖)。谣言建构了集体记忆,借助于这些集体记忆,一个拥有共同价值观和共同关切的群体——即一个判断的共同体——得以形成。对于一个运转良好的公共领域来说,这种判断的共同体是至关重要的。
Rumors are an integral part of civil society. To a certain extent, rumors promote social stability. The size of the rumor constitutes an inverted U-shaped curve. The appropriate number of rumors implies social participation, input in the collective order and social trust; but if the rumor has become dominant or nearly disappeared, it means no confidence or Indifference (or horror). Rumors establish a collective memory by means of which collective memory a community of common values and common concerns - a community of judgment - is formed. This community of judgments is crucial to a well-functioning public sector.
