Některé mechanismy sociální integrace v Japonsku: mediace státní moci, konfliktních výjevů a skandálů
On mechanisms of social integration in Japanese society: mediation of state power, conflictual representations and scandals

Summary/Abstract: The general aim of this text is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the Japanese media and communication in contemporary society. It also hopes to widen the integrated and internationalized framework for understanding the universal dynamism and complexity of media and their audiences in context of global technological and cultural transformation. Our research is mostly a cross-disciplinary integration of media & communication studies and Japanese philology. Informed by the de-westernized perspective, we focus on the case of Japanese society, its reception of texts within everyday cultural practices and media routines, since these serve as platforms where ideological features are embedded, reproduced and maintained. We also touch on the state-press relations and the Japanese reporter´s club system. While being informed by the media hegemony theory, we point out the way how Japanese mainstream media represent and frame state power, political agendas, intrasocietal conflicts and public scandals.
