观往而知来:亚太地区的媒介与传播研究

Pulling the Past Forward in Media and Communication Research in Asian-Pacific Regions

纵观亚太地区媒介与传播研究的历史与未来,本文结合海内外学者的研究成果提出了学术研究的三个趋势:(1)开放和理论的去西方化;(2)关注本地—全球媒介和传播研究的过程而非传播语境;(3)深入研究情感和悖论,以理解有关媒介和线下传播的创造性理论发展的意义。这三个趋势对媒介与传播研究有着重要而深远的影响意义,而中国本土的传播学期刊在其中发挥着重要的作用。

Taking a broader look at the history and future of media and communication studies in Asia-Pacific regions,this paper puts forward three trends of academic research based on the research achievements of scholars at home and abroad:(1)opening up and de-Westernizing theory;(2)focusing on process not communication context in local-global media and communication studies,and(3)delving into affect and paradox for sensemaking about creative theory development for mediated and offline communication.These three trends have significant and far-reaching implications for media and communication research worldwide.
