Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper deconstructs Japanese media discourses of Japan’s territorial disputes in selected newspapers in English – namely The Asahi Shimbun, The Japan News and The Japan Times from 2002 to 2018. Embedded in critical geopolitics, content and discourse analyses were conducted with the lexicostatistical tool AntConc, using articles available in the LexisNexis and Kikozu II Visual databases. The outcomes illustrate that nationalist geopolitical imaginations are popular among all researched newspapers as demonstrated by a strong dominance of solely Japanese toponyms in the discourses as well as a focus on supporting Japan’s obstinate approach rather than promoting solutions.
摘要本文解构了2002年至2018年日本媒体在《朝日新闻》、《日本新闻》和《日本时报》等英文报纸上对日本领土争端的论述。嵌入批判性地缘政治中，使用词典统计工具AntConc，使用LexisNexis和Kikozu II Visual数据库中的文章进行内容和话语分析。研究结果表明，民族主义的地缘政治想象在所有研究过的报纸中都很受欢迎，这表现在话语中仅使用日本地名的强烈主导地位，以及对支持日本顽固做法而非推动解决方案的关注。
期刊介绍：
Asian Geographer disseminates knowledge about geographical problems and issues focusing on Asia and the Pacific Rim. Papers dealing with other regions should have a linkage to Asia and the Pacific Rim. Original and timely articles dealing with any field of physical or human geographical inquiries and methodologies will be considered for publication. We welcome, for example, submissions on people-environment interactions, urban and regional development, transport and large infrastructure, migration, natural disasters and their management, environment and energy issues. While the focus of the journal is placed on original research articles, review papers as well as viewpoints and research notes under the category of “Asian Geography in Brief” are also considered. Review papers should critically and constructively analyse the current state of understanding on geographical and planning topics in Asia. The ‘Asian Geography in Brief’ section welcomes submissions of applied geographical and planning research about Asia. The section aims to showcase (1) the diverse geography and planning of Asia; and (2) the diverse geographical and planning research about Asia. The journal will also publish special issues on particular themes or areas. Book reviews can be included from time to time.
