话语策略与中国镜像——话语分析审视下英美媒体对《战狼2》大热现象报道研究

Discourse Strategy and Mirror Image of China——A Study on the British and American Reports about Wolf Warrior 2 from the Perspective of Discourse Analysis

英美媒体对《战狼2》大热现象的报道聚焦影片票房的成功,中国英雄的形象,中国动作电影的崛起,但褒奖的同时,通过精心选择的话语策略建构了一个被异化、漫画化的负面中国镜像。这体现了西方媒体的矛盾态度,一方面关注、肯定中国的崛起,另一方面西方中心主义通过对《战狼2》中国元素的否定叙事来实现对自我中心的表达和捍卫,体现了话语文本与社会权力关系、历史语境层面的内在联系。我国的自我阐述视角和西方的观察视角相碰撞,必然产生争论,但对差异的关注创造了对话的空间,是理解的开始。

The British and American reports about Wolf Warrior 2 focus on its huge success in box office,the image of Chinese hero,the rise of Chinese action film.But with well-chosen discourse strategies and nominatum strategies,these media have also constructed a negative mirror-image of China.It has shown the controversial attitude of the Western media.On the one hand,the Western media show great interest for the rise of China;on the other hand,the negative expression of the Chinese elements in the film is in nature the protection of the Western centrism against the Other of China.It well illustrates the inner relationship between the text and the social power relationship as well as historical context.The self-presentation perspective of China collides with the perspective of criticism from the West and gives rise to debates.But the focus on the difference creates the possibility for conversation and is the beginning of real understanding.
