Репрезентация образа Японии в средствах массовой информации США: история изучения вопроса

Abstract

В статье рассматривается репрезентация образа Японии, формируемого средствами массовой информации в сознании американского социума.

The article is a systematic review of the history of the study of the representation of the image of Japan formed by means of the mass media in the consciousness of American society. The research describes and analyzes the works of modern domestic, as well as Western and Japanese researchers, which have not been translated into Russian before. A comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the image of Japan from the end of the 19th century to the 90s of the 20th century is proposed. To more accurately identify the causal-consecutive relationships between the events that took place and the ways of their representation, the entire period was divided into several stages: the late 19th century, the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905, the First and the Second World Wars, and the 70-90s of the 20th century. The author pays special attention to the specificity of the linguistic representation of the events that Japan was involved in during this period.
