Thesis (Ph.D.)--Carleton University (Canada), 2010.
This thesis seeks to define the modernity-tradition problematic from a perspective of epistemology. It argues that traditions are objects of discourses that are constructed under the modem epistemic condition. Under such a condition, the modern West and its world of ideas provide major references of thought when traditions are depicted. This approach to the modernity-tradition problematic has implications for transnational communication studies on two levels. First, it calls for analyses of the specific and diverse ways in which the modem condition orients non-Western narrations of traditions. Second, it requires communication analysts to reflect on the ways in which their own interpretations of traditions, to the extent that they are impacted by the modem epistemic condition, may affect their observations about patterns of communication in cross-cultural phenomena.

Under such a condition, the modern West and its world of ideas provide major references of thought when traditions are depicted. This approach to the modernity-tradition problematic has implications for transnational communication studies on two levels.

The thesis applies the proposed approach to study the changing discourses on "the rule of law"---an idea of Western origin---in socialist China. Employing a model of "discourse shifts" which is developed to study semiotic histories, the thesis analyzes the varying accounts of traditions in the transforming networks of discourses on "the rule of law" in China. It discusses how these accounts, while serving various social agendas, are commonly narrated within the modem epistemic framework. Moreover, it considers how divergent views on Chinese and Western traditions may lead to varied conclusions on the patterns of communication shown by the case. As such, this thesis is an alternative attempt at transnational communication analysis that highlights the importance of an integrated epistemological perspective. It also shows how such a perspective contributes to an understanding of China's modernity which avoids the teleology of the modernization paradigm, yet which does not trivialize Western influences on China.
