This book examines how media can be used in facilitating crisis
control following natural disasters. Set in the context of the
contemporary Chinese nationalistic culture this book dissects how
Chinese media enhances disaster relief by constructing the meaning
of it. It takes a historical overview of the negotiations between
discursive power and media coverage of natural disasters in Chinese
media. It then conducts a case study of the 2008 Wenchuan
earthquake to analyze how Chinese media enhance crisis control in
engaging with contemporary Chinese nationalism. In examining the
mediated disaster relief closely relevant to this study within a
global context this book briefly analyzes the Australian media's
representation of the 2013 Tasmanian Bushfire. In a penetrating
investigation of the research question a systematic theoretic
framework is structured consisting of the theories of
representation, discourse and power, cultural identity, media
framing and narratives.
