Abstract

Two widely applied entrances to critically analyze mediated political communication are framing and discourse theory. While media discourse and framing are used in close connection in academic literature, we examine how the approaches theorize media power and politics differently. Framing theory examines how issues are constructed interactively, represented in mediated form, and interpreted within an institutionalized policy sphere. Some framing studies critically examine structural or hegemonic power. However, the preoccupation with manifest interactions entails a diminished sensibility to systematic exclusion. Discourse theory provides a post-foundational conceptualization of politics as the political in which media discourses are antagonistic, contingent, and open to change. Discourse theory expands media power to include (subversive) positions beyond hegemonic politics. We argue that applying either discourse or framing theory in media studies has theoretical and analytical consequences and that theoretical sensitivity will strengthen the discriminatory power of framing and discourse theory as two distinct fields.

框架与话语理论中的媒介权力与政治

批判性分析媒介政治传播的两个广泛应用的入口是框架理论和话语理论。虽然媒体话语和框架在学术文献中被密切联系在一起，但我们研究了这些方法如何以不同的方式将媒体权力和政治理论化。框架理论考察了问题是如何在制度化的政策领域内互动构建、以中介形式表现和解释的。一些框架研究批判性地考察了结构性或霸权。然而，对明显互动的关注导致对系统排斥的敏感性降低。话语理论提供了一种后基础的政治概念，即媒体话语具有对抗性、偶然性和变革开放性的政治。话语理论将媒体力量扩展到霸权政治之外的（颠覆性的）立场。我们认为，在媒体研究中应用话语或框架理论都会产生理论和分析后果，理论敏感性将加强框架和话语理论作为两个不同领域的歧视性力量。
