改革運動的修辭學探析
Friday, 25 November 2022, 10:00am (HKT) via Zoom This seminar will be delivered in Mandarin. 改革運動歷來是博士研究的熱門課題，遺憾的是，無論是就廣義的改革運動還是就最近40年來中國的媒體改革而言，我們至今缺少一個修辭學的視角。例如，傳播學的博士生大多偏向傳播社會學的研究（聚焦與媒體相關的社會行動），或傳媒歷史學的研究（聚焦重要的媒體事件），或媒體政治經濟學的研究；即便是從媒體的話語入手，也是偏重量化的內容分析或宏觀的結構性話語分析。從某個意義上說，修辭學視野的缺失意味著一個細緻入微的文化視野和一個審時度勢的改革「主體」的缺失。 肖小穗是香港浸會大學傳理學院傳播系榮休教授。研究領域包括修辭學、文化批評和中國傳播學。曾單獨發表、與他人合著、和合編五部學術著作和三本學刊專輯。 For enquiries: mkcheung@hkbu.edu.hk… Read More »改革運動的修辭學探析
