“…Scholars who study metaphors continue to ask whether the dragon is a suitable symbolic and metaphorical representation for China (Huang, 2006). They have attempted to create hybrid symbols and stories, such as “the Celtic tiger and hidden dragon” (Yau, 2007), “the Chinese dragon and eagle of Anáhuac” (González, 2013), and “the dragon brings the golden coins to the host country” (Wang, 2007), and believe that by offering them to the media they could promote racial equality and influence how Chinese immigrants re-create their identify (Cui & Worrell, 2019).…”

“…Therefore, Chinese immigrants have experienced ambivalent feelings with respect to their application of ethnic metaphors, storytelling, and symbolic representation. The dislocation of this East Asian symbol not only reproduces and reinforces systemic racism, but also generates various racialized identity, racial solidarity amongst Chinese immigrants (Cui & Worrell, 2019).…”

From National Memory to Self-Referential Symbol: The Rebirth of the Phoenix Metaphors among Chinese Immigrant Women

This article focuses on the psychocultural perceptions and social interactions among a sample of 58 Chinese immigrant women in the Maricopa County, the metro area of the city of Phoenix, Arizona, and the manner in which they are able to negotiate multiple identity markers that in part influence and define their capacity to achieve and maintain self-referential growth. The sample of Chinese women living in the Phoenix area not only apply the metaphor of the phoenix to themselves, but also reference this mythical bird in their social media ID, clubs names, and themed events, and include it in oral traditions passed on to children. In comparison, they reject, negotiate, or resist the stigma and stereotypes attached to the “dragon” symbol which often convey qualities of overpowering and irrational oppression. Instead, they associate themselves with the heuristic of the phoenix as a tool for self-empowerment, virtue, well-being, and ethnic- self-representation. These spontaneous reconstructions of ethnic symbols and metaphors based on traditional cultural consensus allowed immigrants to develop cultural self-confidence because they believed that they had eliminated the possibility of discrimination, and eventually contribute to feasible solutions of silent symbolic violence.

“…En resumen, puede afirmarse que las primeras campañas institucionales sobre violencia machista en España se basaban en un paternalismo que visibilizó a las mujeres víctimas de violencia de género como indefensas y desprotegidas, olvidando, por una parte, que la sociedad civil también configura y construye el Estado (Cortés, 2011;Hernández, 2022) y, por otra, que la comunicación y la publicidad, pueden perpetuar los estereotipos misóginos, fomentar valores en contra de las mujeres o desencadenar situaciones de pérdida de dignidad (Berlanga, 2011;Condeza-Dall'Orso et al, 2021;Lumsden, y Morgan, 2017;Mensa y Bittner, 2020;Sherman et al, 2020;Valiente-Bermejo, 2019) a través de su poder simbólico y su peso en la construcción del imaginario colectivo (Cui y Worrell, 2019;Saiz-Echezarreta et al, 2018).…”

“…En la actualidad, los medios de comunicación adoptan una actitud de denuncia que promueve el debate social y la búsqueda de soluciones en el abordaje de la violencia machista, sin embargo, persisten enfoques inadecuados en el tratamiento de este tema (Postigo et al, 2016). Por esta razón, en los últimos años ha surgido un creciente interés en el análisis de la violencia machista en la esfera mediatizada, como lo evidencian diversas investigaciones en el campo (Condeza-Dall'Orso et al, 2021;Cui y Worrell, 2019;Galarza et al, 2016;Gadelha y Gonçalves, 2023;Postigo et al, 2016;Rodríguez y Robles, 2016;Recuero, 2015;Saiz-Echezarreta et al, 2018;Sherman et al, 2020;Mensa y Bittner, 2020;Valiente-Bermejo, 2019;Núñez-Puente et al, 2018). En particular, la academia ha prestado una atención especial a las campañas institucionales desarrolladas por diversas administraciones públicas en el Estado español en lo que respecta a su enfoque sobre la violencia de género y la representación de las mujeres en general (Berlanga, 2011;Camarero y Marcos, 2012;Fernández, 2008;Fernández, 2014;Gámez, 2012;Hernández, 2022;Papí-Gálvez y Cambronero-Saiz, 2012;Rodríguez y Robles, 2016).…”

Introducción. Se analiza la evolución de las campañas institucionales contra la violencia machista en el Estado español en consonancia con las transformaciones sociales y las políticas públicas en materia de igualdad que se desarrollaron en este período en España. Metodología. Se procede, a través de un análisis crítico del discurso con perspectiva feminista, a examinar minuciosamente las estructuras discursivas en las que se apoyan las campañas desarrolladas por la Xunta de Galicia desde su inicio en el año 1999 hasta el año 2022, analizando el enfoque y el tratamiento que la institución utiliza en el abordaje de la violencia machista. Resultados y discusión. Visto lo anterior, se puede apreciar un incremento de las campañas institucionales a este sujeto desarrolladas en Galicia, y un proceso evolutivo en el tratamiento de la violencia machista que muestra una variabilidad temporal en su dirección, caracterizada por periodos de retroceso o involución. Conclusiones. Al final encontramos que existe una resistencia por parte de la institución en el empleo de la perspectiva de género en sus acciones al no representar la realidad de la violencia machista. La utilización de estereotipos sexistas, la cosificación de las mujeres, la justificación de los hombres agresores y la exención de responsabilidades de la sociedad, fomenta la conservación de un imaginario colectivo que culpabiliza a las mujeres de la violencia que sufren lo que se traduce en sexismo institucional y, en consecuencia, en la revictimización de dichas mujeres.

“…4.Symbolic violence has been used to study other aspects of media and diverse groups. For instance, in their research on media representations of Chinese people affecting how Chinese-Canadian youth perceive themselves, Cui and Worrell (2019) argue media-led symbolic violence damages constructions of positive identity formation.…”

The media diversity and inclusion paradox: Experiences of black and brown journalists in mainstream British news institutions

Over 100 British journalists of colour are signatories to an open letter demanding the US Ambassador to the UK condemns the arrest of African-American journalist, Omar Jimenez, on May 29th 2020, whilst he was reporting for CNN on the Minneapolis protests following the police killing of George Floyd. The letter is a vital act of black transatlantic solidarity during a moment when journalism is under threat, economically and politically, and there’s a pandemic of racism in the west. These factors make journalism challenging for reporters from racial minorities, who are already underrepresented in western newsrooms and, as this paper shows, encounter discrimination in the field, as well as within the institutions they work for. The letter speaks to how black British journalists are all too aware that the British journalistic field, like the American one, has a race problem, and institutional commitments to diversity often don’t correspond with the experiences of those included, impacting negatively on the retention of black journalists. Drawing on original interviews with 26 journalists of colour who work for Britain’s largest news organisations, this paper theoretically grounds empirical findings to illustrate why and how discriminatory patterns, as well as contradictions, occur and recur in British news production.
