中华民族内群体跨文化传播研究中的边界问题

自从跨文化传播学进入中国以来,此领域的绝大多数研究以中（东）西方为跨文化背景。相形之下,在跨文化之"跨"这一文化边界设定上的刻板与混乱,更突显在以中华民族内群体为对象的研究当中。将此情形纳入国内跨文化传播研究的学术传统里检视可见,其中总体呈现的一种"扶弱"逻辑更加固化了人们对中华民族内部"跨文化"维度的认知成见。至于厘清跨文化传播研究中的文化边界,本质上是一个关于如何重新审视"他者",以及对其进行他者化处理的问题。而操作层面的关键则在于重置界定跨文化关系的视角,也即是从基于常识性的认定,转向从实际调查和研究问题出发,从面向过程进入面向对象。

Boundaries Issues of Intercultural Communication Study among Chinese Ethnic Groups

Since the penetration of Intercultural Communication into China,most research in this field has been conducted in the intercultural background of China (East) and the West. In comparison,the rigid and vague definition of the intercultural boundary is more notable in the research on Chinese ethnic groups. It has been found that the logic of helping the underprivileged has exacerbated people''s cognitive prejudices about Intercultural within Chinese ethnic groups when incorporating this situation into the academic tradition of domestic intercultural communication research. The clarification of the cultural boundaries in intercultural studies essentially involves how to re-value "others" as well as how to deal with the issue of othering. The key to the operational level is to redefine intercultural relations,that is,the transformation from the common sense-based identification to the actual investigation and specific research questions,from process-oriented to object-oriented.
