Abstract

Vivien A. Schmidt’s discursive institutionalism (DI) framework has gained considerable popularity in media and communication studies, particularly among scholars studying media institutions. However, while scholars refer to DI to emphasize the importance of ideas and discourses in institutional processes, to date, a critical assessment of the framework is lacking. In this article, we discuss DI from the perspective of media and communication studies and suggest a modified DI framework in which we (1) rethink discourse from a discourse theoretical perspective and emphasize power as a constituting element of media institutions, (2) differentiate between public (mass media) communication and other nonpublic and semipublic forms of communication, and (3) integrate macro perspectives (market, political system, culture, technology, globalization) into Schmidt’s micro–meso-focused framework. With these differentiations, our proposition is to be understood as a heuristic for a systematic analysis of media institutions as a field of power.
话语媒介制度主义:评价费雯·a·施密特的框架及其对媒介与传播研究的价值
维维安·a·施密特的话语制度主义(DI)框架在媒体和传播研究中获得了相当大的知名度,尤其是在研究媒体制度的学者中。然而,尽管学者们提到DI来强调思想和话语在制度过程中的重要性,但迄今为止,对该框架缺乏批判性评估。在本文中,我们从媒介和传播学的角度来讨论传播媒介,并提出了一个改进的传播媒介框架,其中我们(1)从话语理论的角度重新思考话语,强调权力是媒介机构的构成要素;(2)区分公共(大众媒体)传播与其他非公共和半公共形式的传播;(3)整合宏观视角(市场、政治制度、文化、技术、文化);全球化)纳入施密特的微-中观聚焦框架。有了这些区别,我们的命题可以被理解为对作为权力领域的媒体机构进行系统分析的启发式。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Communication is an online, multi-media, academic journal that adheres to the highest standards of peer review and engages established and emerging scholars from anywhere in the world. The International Journal of Communication is an interdisciplinary journal that, while centered in communication, is open and welcoming to contributions from the many disciplines and approaches that meet at the crossroads that is communication study. We are interested in scholarship that crosses disciplinary lines and speaks to readers from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. In other words, the International Journal of Communication will be a forum for scholars when they address the wider audiences of our many sub-fields and specialties, rather than the location for the narrower conversations more appropriately conducted within more specialized journals. USC Annenberg Press USC Annenberg Press is committed to excellence in communication scholarship, journalism, media research, and application. To advance this goal, we edit and publish prominent scholarly publications that are both innovative and influential, and that chart new courses in their respective fields of study. Annenberg Press is among the first to deliver journal content online free of charge, and devoted to the wide dissemination of its content. Annenberg Press continues to offer scholars and readers a forum that meets the highest standards of peer review and engages established and emerging scholars from anywhere in the world.
