A Dialogic Analysis of Audiences’ Interactions on Online Media Sites in Zimbabwe

Abstract

Zimbabwean mainstream media has been profoundly polarised by two significant camps, namely the pro-government and anti-government media. Public opinion has primarily split between the binary ideological alignments of these two camps. The heavily censored political environment in Zimbabwe since the imposition of the Public Order and Security Act 11:17 (and regulated in a multiplicity of overt and covert ways) resulted in political expressive space being constrained. Online media, however, has created alternative media spaces and contexts that are far more enabling to audiences when it comes in dialogic co-production of meaning and new or alternative value positions to those advanced by traditional media. This article explores the negotiation of meaning by online readers of the state-owned daily, The Herald. Dialogism theory is used to explore discourse and ideological interaction occurring between mass media and its audiences in the news website comments section and how online communication is in fact a reciprocal social practice that is both modelled and remodelled through processes of co-production and negotiation of meaning. The research also takes into account the naming practices that the participants employ in their online interaction.     

Global IR through dialogue

This article aims to address how to ensure a two-way ‘dialogue’ across ‘the West/non-West distinction’ in international studies. To this end, I first discuss three different approaches to dialogue, the Socratic, the Habermasian, and the Weberian, and clarify what kind of thing dialogue should be if it is to overcome the ‘West-non-West divide’ and transform the current ‘Western-centric’ IR into a global discipline. I argue that dialogue should be understood as reciprocal feedback from different perspectives for mutual learning. In order to achieve this goal (i.e. mutual learning), I call for an ‘instrumentalist’ approach to dialogue. To elucidate this point, I offer an empirical illustration. The focus here is on dialogue as mutual learning between Western-centric IR theory, more specifically constructivism, and the indigenous experience and knowledge of East Asia.     

和而不同：儒家与基督宗教对话的可能性

儒家与基督宗教分别以特异性的“忠孝”与“爱神”作为本根至上的终极正当原则,结果导致它们不仅在理论和现实中陷入了深度悖论,而且彼此间也形成了无法调和的张力冲突,难以展开建设性的对话。只有运用它们共同包含的“普世爱人”观念,置换它们各自奉行的特异性至上本根,以尊重人权的“不可坑人害人、应当爱人助人”原则为基础,儒家与基督宗教才能通过求大同、存小异的途径,真正实现“和而不同”。     

知识产权法采用对话式教学法动因之思考

随着时代的发展,单单采用传统讲授法已经不能完全适应知识产权法学教学的要求,时代要求我们在教学方法上要有所创新,有所突破。本文认为,应对知识产权法教学进行改革,从传统讲授法走向对话式教学法。因为,对话式教学法有利于激发学生的积极性主动性;有利于培养学生清晰准确的表达能力;有利于培养学生创新思考能力和批判性思考能力;有利于大学生更好地为未来职业进行准备。     

新时期的美国涉台关系及其制约因素

中美关系与两岸关系的大格局,决定了美国涉台关系的变化趋势.在政治上,美国乐见国民党连续执政和两岸关系的和平发展,但对于台湾被迫走向统一,存有疑虑,希望及时把握两岸和谈的具体进程.美方对台湾在“国防”、“外交”等领域予以多方面支持的目的,从短期看是同步强化美台关系,维护美国在台海地区的既有利益;从长期看则是增加台湾在两岸谈判中的筹码,谋取美国在台湾问题最终解决方案上的主动权.     

言说的短路与表达的困境——公共行政的话语危机分析

当前社会频频发生的话语事件揭示了公共行政的话语危机。一方面,政府言说出现了广泛的短路现象,其表现是政府及其官员的言说缺位,不被信任,难于理解,伤害民众的情感;另一方面,公民表达也存在着许多困境,诸如不被倾听,得不到重视,效率很低等。行政话语危机的原因多种多样,主要与专制政治的历史惯性、权力与权利的不对称、表达能力的欠缺、双边互信的衰落以及官僚语言的特性等密切相关。超越行政话语的危机,要求从理念、制度、技术和技能等方面创造条件,建构和完善多元化的行政对话制度。     

People‐to‐People Dialogue between North and South Korea: Looking Ahead

The division in the Korean peninsula has lasted more than a half century, and the people on both sides have become quite different in their values, beliefs, behaviors, and lifestyles. As the two sides have increased their exchanges and communications for the last several years, the biggest challenge Korea and its people face is: “How should human relationships be rebuilt after suffering from chronic conflicts between adversary states?” This article considers track two diplomacy/people‐to‐people dialogue as a response to this question and reviews the issues and obstacles related to initiating such a dialogue.     

Regenerative justice,beyond restoring

This paper outlines a new form of justice, called regenerative justice. Regenerative justice is the coupling of restorative justice with the notion of generative justice, which involves the explicit and intentional discovery and building of life meanings, as well as the consideration of the relationships that those meanings have with wrongdoing and ‘making things right’. This exploration comes about after first considering restorative justice, then providing a critique that uncovers potential blind spots in restorative practice. Logotherapeutic techniques, including: Socratic dialogue, attitude modulation, and dereflection, are used by therapists to help people discover meaning and purpose and have successfully assisted crime victims and offenders. Borrowing from these techniques and specific questioning approaches, restorative dialogue facilitators can enhance restorative practice, particularly in the phases of preparation for restorative dialogue and follow-up after restorative dialogue, by deliberately emphasizing meaning-building discussions (generative justice). Therefore, regenerative justice synthesizes the restoration of people and relationships with the generation of peaceful and healing meanings that can help stakeholders in wrongdoing make sense out of suffering and move forward with a sense of purpose. An example of this process is illustrated in a victim-offender dialogue in a crime of severe violence, where meaning-building can be particularly powerful.     

后殖民主义视野中的女性主义批评

后殖民主义理论与西方女性主义批评有着密切的亲和力。作为弱势群体的话语,女性主义和后殖民主义的共同目标是重新改写传统的“主体/他者”的关系。接受了后殖民主义的影响,女性主义批评最明显的发展是第三世界女性主义的崛起。处于后殖民主义文化中的女性主义批评将在新的层次上重构自身的理论,这一理论的核心是要在平等对话的基础上构建“双声话语”。
