Identity Differentiation Of Nation Self Under The Mirror Of The Other

The author insists, constructing the identification should base on setting a "The other"."Self can be rendered, only when comparison with "The other". Self-cognition should take the views about the other as a prerequisite. The differences of the emotion, imagination, and cognition about the other, will lead to the differentiation of constructing self-identity. It depends on "the other" as what kind of identity that distinguishes from "self and exists independently. If "the other" is set up as a target for hatred, only on the basis of placing it to be a negative significance and constructing self-identity can be made to work. When "The other" as a powerful identity exists, it is often regarded as the object to look up and praise. In turn, under the mirror effect of "The other", self-image is dwarfed, and as the existence of a negative. When "The other" as a "member" identity exists with "Self, self-construction will turn to be the identity of some positive value.This thesis put’"Japan earthquake’has stirred hot online discussion" as the studying object. From which to explore how Japan as a special "The other" acting on the construction of nation self (in the broad sense) and lead to identity differentiation. The reason why the author limit the study background to network is that network with new field characteristics subvert the traditional borders and patterns of the identity, and characteristics of the network itself will lead to diverse and differentiation of the identity. In view of the historical disputes, the Sino-Japanese relation has always been ambiguous and vague. Japan presented a paradox state in the emotional structure of the Chinese people. On the one hand, Japan is a modern example. On the other hand, Japan is also the wounds of modern Chinese history. For China, Japan is a double mirror just like the role of western. It is an ideal "Self, but it also is the source of the pain in modern China. The hatred and envy of Japan exist at the same time. The Sino-Japanese relations can talk about for a kind of story about "Self and "The other". If viewing Japan as a hatred object,"Japan earthquake" will undoubtedly become a chance for the people to vent their anger. Viewing Japan as a strong Western-style existence, the outstanding performance of the whole Japan nation in the "earthquake" is undoubtedly can as a mirror to look at our nation. Viewing it as an East Asian neighbor, Japan and china with compelling interests and sharing weal and woe, when the neighbor suffered a "earthquake", we are supposed to uphold the tolerant attitude of the "humanitarian", abeyance the historical hatred and stretch out a helping hand.
