概念与典范更新:近期两本SSCI新闻传播学期刊研究创新专辑剖析

Concepts and Paradigm Updating:A Case Study of Two SSCI Special Issues on Advancing Journalism and Communication Research

近期两本SSCI新闻传播学期刊研究创新专辑显示,不少西方学人寻求典范创新的法宝还是围着"概念"做文章,或从理论与实践脱节处反思旧概念局限,或引入新概念理解一些旧典范无法涵盖的新现象。前人经验提醒我们,在警惕照搬西学新奇概念理解中国现实之同时,也可尝试从中国本土找寻能回馈西方学术社群的概念资源。

In recent western journalism and communication studies,quite a few researchers seek paradigm innovations by focusing on"concepts",reflecting on the limitations of old concepts where there is a disconnect between theory and practice,or introducing new concepts to understand new phenomena that cannot be explained by old paradigms.However,we should be vigilant about adopting novel concepts from western social science to understand Chinese reality,or try to discove rmeaningful concepts from Chinese ancient civilization to enlighten the western academic community.
