Comparative discourse studies have tended to emphasize uncovering the dichotomous systems or the differential ideological patterning between the East and the West. The present study attempts a turn in moving beyond the dichotomous perspective to examine the complexities and the internal variations within the Chinese culture and discourse. It explores the diverse discourse systems operating in the media practice of contemporary China and emphasize…
Media discourses and cultural globalisation: A Chinese perspective
In this age of accelerated globalisation and digitalisation, the role and the power of the media in representing a particular culture, people or locality are all too great to be ignored as the media reflects, constructs and transforms social practice. In this special issue, we have endeavoured to investigate the discursive practice of the Chinese media in their relationship with cultural globalisation or glocalisation (1) in contemporary China or…
Becoming global, remaining local: The discourses of international news reporting by CCTV-4 and Phoenix TV Hong Kong
In an attempt to examine the issue of glocalisation in contemporary Chinese media practice, the article develops a tripartite framework which examines the discourses of global/Western vs. local/Eastern interactions in news reporting along three dimensions: the nature of the news event reported, the stance adopted in reporting the news, and the move structure involved in the reporting. The projection and discursive management of the international …
