Rationale:
This thematic issue builds on the concept of “discourse” as a valuable
starting point and analytical lens for studying contemporary media in
the Chinese-speaking world. It values the need to critically adapt
discourse-based approaches to account for the socio-political,
historical, and cultural specificities of the contexts under scrutiny.
While acknowledging these specificities, this issue does not imply a
vision of the studied contexts as “exceptional.” On the contrary, it
aims to highlight the ways in which discursive approaches can be
applied productively and effectively to Chinese media products.
In this sense, the issue seeks to expand on on-going scholarly
discussions on studying the Chinese media through
discourse-approaches, built on insights from recent academic projects,
rooted in projects of the Contemporary Asia Research Centre of the
University of Milan and enriched by the fruitful international
exchanges stemming from the panel “Meaning Generation in Chinese
Official Media Discourse” organized by Lutgard Lams and Zhang Rui at
the International Pragmatics Association Conference in 2021.
The main goal is to contribute to the discussion on how Chinese media
- both in Chinese and in other languages - construct and reinforce
specific narratives on contemporary social, political, and economic
challenges, targeting both domestic and international audiences.
Based on these premises, the thematic issue hopes to bring together
contributions that adopt a discursive perspective to critically
analyze Chinese media discourses on a wide range of topics relevant to
contemporary Chinese societies, particularly in areas (potentially)
impacting political legitimacy and public consensus. In this respect,
attention is also devoted to the role of digital platforms and new
technologies in shaping the agenda of traditional media.
We welcome contributions relying on frameworks and methodologies
rooted in applied linguistics, such as (but not limited to):
(critical) discourse analysis, corpus-assisted and multimodal critical
discourse analysis, frame analysis, pragmatics, etc.
