Abstract:

While migrant workers become the backbone of China’s fast growing economy,
internal migration and its impacts on various aspects of social life in China
have been an increasing concern of both the Chinese general public and the
academics. It is timely, therefore, that identities of and stances towards
migrant workers represented in China’s media are subject to discourse analysis
and sociolinguistic research. This book examines how identities of and stances
towards migrant workers have been constructed, transformed and mediated in
China’s media discourse, and it investigates the media strategies and
practices constructing these media products. This book provides a
comprehensive study of how the media representation of migrant workers is
interacting with the sociocultural transformation in China. The findings and
discussions of the book offer critical insights into media discourse and
practice in contemporary China which will be of interest to scholars and
research students in discourse studies, sociolinguistics, media and
communication studies, and China studies.
