Western images of China : media representations of Chinese attempts to invest in Saab

Xu, Shanna, You, Pengzhan January 2012 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to describe Western images of China by focusing on media representations of Chinese attempts to invest in Saab. Theories of media representation, orientalism, racialization and stereotype are applied and used in the qualitative discourse analysis in order to find out if there are orientalist and racialized stereotypes in the material. The findings show that there are orientalist stereotypes and racialized stereotypes presented in the material. The analysis also sums up that China is a country whose people are represented to be adaptable and to have amazing productivity, since China has cheap labor power and lax labor law. Furthermore, China is represented as a country whose financial power is strong and solid, Western media characterizes China as a threat. Moreover, Chinese negotiators who went to Sweden to negotiate not only are represented as full of ambitions, but also they are seen as the saviors for Western companies which are on the verge of bankrupt. This thesis contributes to the literature by filling the gap about the Chinese attempts to invest in Saab, which is characterized by Western media.

Images of China : An Empirical Study of Western Tourist Material

Sun, Ying, Yu, Bin January 2012 (has links)
This thesis aims to explore and describe the images of China in the Western tourist material. There is much literature talking about images of China; however, among the existing scholarship so far few have investigated from the angle as we do. We use social constructivism and representation as main theories and combined with central concepts of the tourist gaze, stereotypes and the other, and post-colonialism and orientalism. Moreover, we conduct a case study by applying qualitative discourse analysis in order to find out the stereotypes and orientalist ideas of China depicted in the tourist material. The findings show that in the perspective of western tourist material, China is representative of the Orient. The analysis also concludes that China is seen as a country with 5,000-year civilization whose people have lots of virtues; a developing economic power; a not so democratic socialist country; a potential threat and a global actor with increasing influences. Our thesis contributes to the existing literature on China research and tourism research—marketing and political implications for its national image improvement and tourism development.

Yao, Chengcheng, Яо, Чэнчэн January 2014 (has links)
This dissertation is dedicated to the theme "The images of China in the Russian literature for children and teenagers’ and presented in the form of a reading-book, which consists of an introductory article and a main part , including literary texts with commentaries - transfer within the text , a list of questions, information about authors and meaningful commentary and bibliography . The aim of this work is to show Chinese students how the images of China in Russian literature appeared and to show the necessity to tell the younger generation about China, as well as how changed the images of China in Russian culture for one and a half centuries. In order to realize the goals have been resolved the following tasks. 1. determine the literary texts about China, to which are familiar the modern residents of Russia, based on a survey of carriers of Russian culture and some of the school curriculum in literature. 2. build a chronological series of these texts, considering the motivations for inclusion of the text in the reading-book. 3. determine the linguistic units with complicated understanding and required translation into Chinese for modern Chinese students in the text, and offer the translation of author. 4. write questions for each text, allowing student to understand the content of the reading of the text. 5. offer the author’s versions of historical and cultural commentary of each text. The practical significance of this work is to collect and comment the texts, circulating in the Russian culture, to create a certain image of China and the Chinese in the minds of Russian, including the moderns. Knowing this, can help the Chinese, which seeks to understand Russian culture and the Russian, in order to see how gradually formed in the minds of their stereotypes about neighboring countries and its inhabitants. / Данная диссертация посвящена теме «Образы Китая в русской литературе для детей и подростков» и представлена в форме хрестоматии, которая состоит из: вступительной статьи, основной части, включающей художественные тексты с комментариями-переводом внутри текста, списком вопросов, сведениями об авторах и послетекстовым содержательным комментарием, а также списка использованной литературы. Актуаоьность данной работы магистерского исследования определена тем, что Изучение образа Китая в России в русской литературе призвано не только способствовать прояснению современных российских намерений и ожиданий в отношении Китая, но и в какой-то мере помочь прогнозировать будущие внешнеполитические шаги России по отношению к Китаю, а так же внести в клад в сообщение культуры и искусства двух страны. Цель настоящей работы стоит в том, что показать китайским учащимся, каким представал Китай русским детям, что русское общество в лице своих литераторов считало необходимым рассказать подрастающему поколению о Китае, а также, как менялось изображение Китая в русской культуре на протяжении полутора веков. Для того чтобы реализовать поставленную цель, были решены следующие задачи: 1. на основании опроса носителей русской культуры и просмотра некоторых школьных учебных программ по литературе определить, какие художественные тексты о Китае знакомы современным жителям России; 2. выстроить хронологический ряд этих текстов, обдумав мотивировки включения того или иного текста в Хрестоматию; 3. определить языковые единицы, существенно затрудняющие понимание текста и нуждающиеся в переводе на китайский язык для современных китайских студентов, и предложить свой вариант перевода; 4. составить вопросы к каждому тексту, позволяющие увидеть, насколько учащийся понял содержание предложенного для чтения текста; 5. предложить свой вариант историко-культурного комментария каждого текста; Практическая значимость данной работы состоит в сборе и комментировании корпуса текстов, циркулирующих в русской культуре и создающих определенных образ Китая и китайцев в сознании русских, в том числе и современных. Знание этого может помочь как китайцам, стремящимся понять русскую культуру, так и русским, для того, чтобы увидеть, как постепенно формировались в их сознании стереотипы о стране-соседе и ее обитателях.
