熟悉的陌生人：美国新闻媒体中被他者化的中国作家莫言
The Familiar Stranger: Theother of Chinese Writer Mo Yan in the U.S. News Media

摘要 本文以2012年中国作家莫言获得诺贝尔文学奖的事件为案例，以他者表征、框架建构和媒介定型为理论依据，分析美国媒体对于莫言及其文学作品的表征。研究发现，在美国媒体对于莫言获诺奖事件的表征中，中国作家与中国文学作为他者的意义被极大地损耗了，其相较于西方作家和西方文学的参照意义几乎湮没在了美国媒体政治化和东方化的报道图景之中。
This paper takes Chinese writer Mo Yan’s winning of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012 as a case study. Based on the theories of representation of the other, media framing and stereotype, this paper examines how the U.S. news media represent Mo Yan and his literary works. It finds that the referencing significance of Chinese writer and Chinese literature as the other has been largely consumed; moreover, its comparative significance compared with the western writer and the western literature has been nearly lost in the politicized and orientalized coverage by the U.S. news media
