Emotional Representation And Value Identification In The Patriotic Discourse Of The Youth Group In The New Era

With the innovation and extension of the media discourse space,youth group in the new era spontaneously created a “normal” patriotic expression,which showed a unique pattern different from the previous "stress-type" patriotic expression.The “stress-type” patriotic expression is more likely to trigger public opinion or group events so it has been focused by previous researchers.However,the attention to the “normal” patriotic expression of daily life is still lacking.In fact,the normal patriotic expression is not a stressful “exploitation” or“performance” produced by the stimulus of the hostile “others”,but a natural emotional expression rooted in the daily life and deep in the heart,which is often more embodies the expressor’s inner values,national consciousness and thought trends.This study takes the normal patriotic expression discourse created by the contemporary youth group in the Bilibili as the research object,and analyzes its discourse representation and emotional characteristics with the help of intelligent research methods such as Sentiment Analysis,Biterm Topic Model and Type-building Analysis.In addition,the construction process of its interactive ritual is observed with the help of Online Ethnography.The study found that the patriotic expression of the younger generation reflects a “true pride”emotional trait derived from achievement orientation,gradually replacing the “explicit self-esteem” tendency in the past,and incorporating a rational factors to become more active and mature;at the same time,through the integration of self-acquainted subcultural styles,a unique discourse system within the group is created,and a patriotic discourse practice that has undergone self-renovation has evolved.In addition,the youth group uses the instantaneous barrage technology to create a collective interactive ritual,not only deriving specific meanings and beliefs from the collective carnival in the virtual space,but also inquiring the real world through the production of emotional symbols and national identity Community consciousness and core value identification,thus generating a novel and unique identification construction mechanism.As an important component of the socialist core value system,the patriotic value concept not only shows the young people’s realistic cognition,cultural psychology and political expectations,but also is the inner driving force of the “national community” to maintain the sense of connection,cohesion and unity.Under the background of de-borderization in the current era of globalization,the disenchantment of nation-states and the diversification of values,young people spontaneously seek a core status identity ideogram system driven by emotional needs and identity attribution,and promote patriotism.The concept becomes a value consensus with transcendental functions,and the core values at the national level are truly implicitly transformed into deep emotional memories and cognitive schemas.Looking at the new patriotic discourse pattern and identity construction mechanism created by the younger generation,and exploring the core values and community consciousness guidance strategies in the context of new media technology,it has important value in the current communication research.
