共情传播视角下中国故事民间叙事的实践路径
Communication Pathways of Chinese Storytelling Through Folk Narratives from the Perspective of Empathetic Communication
“融通中外”是中国争取国际话语权的精髓所在,如何融、怎样通,其要义和叙事策略是中国故事跨文化传播研究的题中之义。意识形态差异、文化认同困境及对中国经济叙事的两面性评价会诱发域外受众“认知失调”,导致跨文化传播信息意义的偏离。从传播主体到传播效果,相比传播媒介,情感机制更妙言要道。传播主体是信源,受众对传播主体及其所传播内容可信度的判断亦出于情感因素。相比官方与媒体叙事,民间叙事更易脱离西方二元对立、非友皆敌的认知范式,具有得天独厚的传播优势。在舆论传播场域中,越弱的东西生命力越强,因此民间情感叙事能超越种族与社会形态,被海外受众正向解码。
The essence of China’s pursuit of international discourse power lies in “integrating China with the world”, yet the core challenges revolve around how to achieve such integration and mutual understanding. The rise of the internet has enabled the diffusion, penetration, and migration of information across spatiotemporal and geographical boundaries, transforming it into a hub for public emotional expression. As emotions frequently drive public opinion, the study of emotional communication grows increasingly vital in cross-cultural practices. Consequently, exploring the mechanisms and practical frameworks of empathy-driven communication to empower China’s global storytelling becomes urgent.Political and ideological divides between China and the West have impeded cross-cultural political narrative negotiations. When cultural narratives revert to official discourses and highlight ideological confrontations, pre-established biases obstruct mutual recognition. Besides, China’s economic narratives are often stigmatized by Western media, branded as embodying “hegemony” or as a “catalyst for global economic instability”, leading to ineffective communication and distorted interpretations. Despite persistent socio-political heterogeneity, human emotions can serve as a key to “unlocking the Tower of Babel”. Rooted in the philosophy of “shared humanity”, empathetic communication offers a pathway to transcend international dissemination dilemmas marked by miscommunication. Western cognitive warfare against China, rooted in adversarial thinking and zero-sum game logic, frames international relations through binary opposition that views non-friends as enemies. Under this paradigm, state-led communication and official messaging often triggers resistance among foreign audiences, eroding potential empathy. In contrast, emotionally charged folk narratives naturally circumvent such hostile frameworks, offering unique advantages in cross-cultural resonance.Strategies for empathetic folk narratives include activating audiences’ empathic capacities, catalyzing emotional internalization for affective transfer, promoting emotional negotiation to foster fusion, and timely correcting emotional biases. The evolution of public opinion and cognitive framing results from interactions among facts, emotions, social behaviors, and viewpoints, with activating the audience’s empathic capacity as the primary catalyst. By embedding intense emotional appeals, communicators enhance the likelihood of audience internalization and facilitate emotional transfer. Many challenges faced by communicators stem from the negotiation of autonomy and identity. In contrast, folk empathetic narratives, through empathy and shared experience, express the collective will of the people and promote emotional fusion through repeated emotional negotiation. During empathetic dissemination, it is crucial to promptly correct emotional biases and be cautious of the risks of empathy overload and polarization.
