The field of development communication has been experiencing a paradigm shift toward an emphasis upon pluralistic, localized, and more participatory communication within the larger political and cultural environments. The emerging paradigm implicitly rejects both the ahistorical and individual-level biases of modernization theory as well as the reductionist social structural biases of dependency theory, and instead focuses upon human action within sociocultural, political, and economic contexts. There has been, however, little academic movement in the form of new theoretical formulations suited to this shift toward a new paradigm of development. This paper discusses the need for and the difficulties of cross-level theorizing in development communication which can help explain the actions of individuals within their larger sociocultural and political contexts; proposes a cross-level approach to communication and development based upon theories of mythology, discourse, and narrative; and illustrates the approach with an examination of indigenous media and the social roles of the shadow puppet (wayang) mythology in Central Java, Indonesia. Implications for applied work in development are discussed.

Javanesewayangtowards cross-level theory in the new development范式的神话、叙事和话语

发展传播领域正在经历范式转变,强调在更大的政治和文化环境中强调多元化、本地化和更具参与性的传播。新兴范式隐含地拒绝现代化理论的非历史和个人层面的偏见以及依赖理论的还原论社会结构偏见,而是关注社会文化、政治和经济背景下的人类行为。然而,很少有学术运动以适合这种向新发展范式转变的新理论公式的形式出现。本文讨论了发展传播中跨层次理论化的必要性和困难,这有助于解释个人在更大的社会文化和政治背景下的行为;提出了一种基于神话、话语和叙事理论的跨层次交流和发展方法;并通过对印度尼西亚中爪哇的土著媒体和皮影木偶 (wayang) 神话的社会角色的检查来说明该方法。讨论了对开发应用工作的影响。
