historical context and global perspective Li, Jinquan 1946- creator author. text bibliography enk 2025 2025 monographic eng 1 online resource (vi, 292 pages) "Drawing on studies of international communication and late Qing and Republican newspapers, this book examines the intellectual and practical development of communication from a global and historical perspective. The book is organized in two parts. The first part explores the "domestication" and fragmentation of communication studies, examining how domestic communication paradigms have been transformed into "refined mediocrity" and how international communication is now included in discussions of "modern theory". Focusing on the newspapers of China's Republican era, the second part explores the history of journalism from a variety of perspectives and addresses several key research issues. By exploring ways to connect theories in the humanities and social sciences, bridging the gap between Eastern and Western cultures, and interweaving case studies and macro-level theorizing, the author shows that communication analysis is necessarily dialectical, specific, complementary, and conditional. The book sheds important light on how acting locally while thinking globally can help us reconstruct the epistemological and methodological foundations of international communication. The title will appeal to scholars and students in communication studies, journalism, and the social sciences, especially those interested in international communication"-- Chin-Chuan Lee.
