施拉姆传播模式与明清之际基督教传播范式

明清之际约两百年间,以耶稣会士为代表的西方传教士在中国进行了较为广泛的传教活动。他们在传播基督教的同时,也开始将西方文化传进中国。从当代传播学理论出发来审察这一时期的宗教和文化传播,可以看出,传教士和中国士大夫实际上是互为编码者和互为解码者。总体上看,这一时期中西之间的文化交流是互动的,是基本上符合异质文化交流规律的,并对当今的跨文化交流有一定启迪意义,且不失为异质文化传播的一种范式。

Schramm's Communicating Model and the Promulgating Paradigm of Christianity in Ming and Qing China
