Research: Narratives and values in China's stories: a critical discourse analysis of the social media output of journalists, content creators, and diplomats
Curriculum Eastern Asia
ABSTRACT
In the context of "telling China's stories well" (jianghao Zhongguo gushi 讲好中国故事), studying the propagation of China's image gains prominence. Through a multimodal analysis of the social media output produced by journalists, content creators, and institutional actors - both Italian and Chinese - the main features of narratives on China in Italy over the past decade are brought to light. To this end, given the complex nature of the data, the depth of Social Media Critical Discourse Studies (SM-CDS) is combined with the systematic approach of Corpus Linguistics, positioning the study within the field of Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS).
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Critical discourse analysis; corpus-assisted discourse studies; multimodal analysis; social media
