中美报纸的中国武术形象表达异同研究——以《中国日报》和《纽约时报》为例

Research on the Similarities and Differences of Image Expression of Chinese Martial Arts between Chinese and American Newspapers:Taking The New York Times and China Daily as Examples

以国内外极具代表性与影响力的报纸《中国日报》与《纽约时报》为对象媒体,以两者关于中国武术报道的内容为研究文本,利用扎根理论研究方法进行对比分析,归纳出中国武术历史文化、中国武术整体认知以及中国武术现代发展3个范畴。研究发现,《纽约时报》与《中国日报》中关于中国武术的报道,其相同点在于:都对中国武术文化、中国武术认知、中国武术现代发展进行了报道,且呈现的都是正面基调,凸显的是中国武术客观、正面的形象;不同点在于:《中国日报》对于中国武术报道更为全面,而《纽约时报》则仅关注较受欢迎的拳种及其文化和太极拳科学研究。中美报纸对中国武术形象表征的共同点是由于中国武术与海外受众之间存在“意义共享空间”,而不同点是由于受自身文化心理影响而导致的结果呈现。
