首先让我说,我是多么愉快地被邀请在这个讨论会上发言。尽管我已对中美跨文化形像(image)问题作了一些理论概括工作,但这是我第一次与在台学者进行关于台湾传播媒介问题的对话。我希望我们的讨论将会互相有所裨益,并盼望在会议期间学到很多东西。我几乎不知道公共文化或大众媒介的学者如何思考台湾的视像问题:关于形像在这里的流通方式,关于视像流通的密度,关于其支配的方式,我几乎一无所知。我希望在我的发言之后能听到有关 First let me say how happy I was invited to speak at this seminar. Although I have made some theoretical generalizations about the cross-cultural image of China and the United States, this is the first dialogue I have conducted with scholars in Taiwan on the issue of Taiwan’s media. I hope our discussions will benefit each other and look forward to learning a lot during the meeting. I have little idea of ​​how public culture or the mass media scholars think about Taiwan’s visual problems: I know almost nothing about the way in which imagery is circulated, the density of its circulation, and the way in which it is governed. I hope I can hear about it after my speech
