概要

論文の詳細を見る
Although the concept of ch'i (ki) has been molded and applied to all aspects of lives and disciplines in East Asian cultures for thousands of years, it has been recently introduced to communication studies in the West. This essay compares ch'i/ki concepts and their studies in the cultures of China, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. This study finds surprising similarities across the cultures although there are stark differences in definitions across disciplines. Illustrated with recent theories and new directions in ch'i/ki research, this essay argues a promising potential for theorizing human communication based on ch'i/ki.
