文化视野下的话语研究

Cultural Discourse Studies

国际主流的交际学(Communication Studies)包括演说、修辞、话语、媒体等研究,其从普世的立场出发,叙述西方的概念、理论、价值、原则、方法及问题,又依托西方的经济、科学、教育、传媒优势,构建了一套文化霸权的话语体系。它不仅遮蔽了人类交际的文化(差异、争夺)性,而且抑制了文化多元对话创新的可能性。本文旨在展示一种超越西方中心主义,秉持多元文化主义的交际学新思潮、新范式和新平台——文化话语研究(Cultural Discourse Studies)。作为新思潮,它关注人类交际的文化差异和文化权力关系;作为新范式,它筹划和提供文化多元主义研究体系的建设方略;作为新平台,它助力关于文化话语研究的交流与合作。

Coupled with Western economic,scientific,education and media advantages,mainstream Communication Studies,including speech,rhetoric,discourse and media studies,speaks of Western concepts,theory,values,principles,methods and questions from a universalist stance,and has formed a cultural hegemonic system in and of itself.It eclipses cultural diversity and division,and curbs possibilities for research innovation.This article presents a new current,paradigm and platform in a multiculturalist light beyond Westcentrism,i.e.Cultural Discourse Studies.It is a new current of thought because it concerns itself with cultural diversity and cultural power;it is a new paradigm of scholarship because it charts paths and strategies for making multiculturalist research;and it is a new platform of academia because it houses cultural discourse studies.
