DISCURSIVE CONSTRUCTIONS IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL IMAGINATION OF SHAMEEN,GUANGZHOU:A PERSPECTIVE BASED ON MODERN NEWSPAPER TEXTS
The study finds that the geographical imagination of Shameen lacks the directionality in early popular discourses.Between 1924 and 1945,with the conflict between China and foreign intensified,the spa-tial image of Shameen is purposefully represented and othered by subjects of power and discourse.In view of this,we argue that the othering and industry process of spatial image of Shameen in newspaper's dis-courses is a dynamic negotiation process of multiple subjects and pluralism under the role of social power re-lations in different periods,characterized by the Chinese newspaper discourse,and is a comprehensive re-sponse to the changes in social relations of the times.As a conclusion,from the representation of modern ci-vilisation,the cohesion of social consciousness to the concern for social contradictions,the discourses of dif-ferent eras have their own discursive cores,and the imagination of differentiation is historically constructed by different eras'discourses.And it is important to note that although the spatial image of Shameen has changed in different historical periods,reports about the conflicts between China and foreign countries have existed since Shameen was set aside as a concession and have continued to influence the construction of the image of Shameen in media discourse.
