框架偏见:TED talks中的中国国家形象

在TED演讲中,中国的形象如何令人关注。文章采用框架分析法和文本分析法,对TED网站上公开演讲的文本进行分析,并结合演讲者的职业、社会背景、访谈记录等,观察TED演讲中的中国国家形象。研究发现,TED演讲中中国总体上仍然是一个存满威胁、破坏等的负面国家形象。这种形象之所以形成,是由于演讲者自己建构了一个符合西方受众期待的故事框架。主要原因是西方媒体议程设置下的中国国家形象以及个人对中国的认知结构,但是这种认知框架存在着一定的局限与偏差,或者说是一种框架偏见。

Israeli-Palestinian Talks： Distrust and Failure

The latest two rounds of direct talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in 2010 and 2013 failed after nine months of negotiations. Despite of the efforts of the negotiators and the support of the US administration, the goal of reaching a final status agreement between the two sides once again could not be achieved. Considering the complexity of the issues, the failure did not surprise most experts who follow the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The reasons are many, but no doubt, the main issue is the distrust between the two sides. The Palestinians, on the one hand, believe that Israel does not want to leave the West Bank and is pursuing the unilateral security policies implemented by Ariel Sharon and his successors after the Camp David talks in 2000. Israel, on the other hand, believes there is no partner on the Palestinian side, with its leadership divided and with Hamas showing no sign of recognizing Israel＇s very existence. Due to the distrust between them, the two parties are heavily dependent on US mediation. Accordingly, both sides restarted negotiations under pressure from the Barack Obama administration half heartedly. In addition to existing problems, Turkey＇s involvement in the conflict by challenging the Gaza embargo and by supporting Palestinians at the expense of Israel in the international arena jeopardized American efforts. So, the failure of the talks was no surprise for many and no doubt it will have considerable consequences for both sides, as the July War in Gaza proves. This article focuses on the limits of American mediation for building trust between the sides, the micro-reasons of the failure of the talks, the possible consequences of this failure, and Turkey＇s Palestinian policy as a further complicating factor.
