中國人民大學新聞學院(系)是中國內地最早引介和從事傳播研究、教育的機構之一。儘管傳播系作為一個獨立的系部成立時間較晚,但從 1960 年代開始,新聞系的張隆棟、林珊教授就開始率先引介西方傳播理論。在 60 餘年裡,人大新聞學院(系)始終走在中國內地傳播學研究和教育的前沿。回顧人大新聞學院傳播研究發展歷程這一經典個案,本文發現,作為一種來自西方的知識,傳播學在中國經歷了漫長的「學科化」和「中國化」過程,它的發展受到學科體制、政治、經濟等外部偶然因素的作用比較大,而非完全受學術邏輯左右,在批判與吸收、政治與市場等張力間搖擺,理論創新有待加強。如果中國傳播學要健康發展,未來的研究應努力保持學術研究的反思性與自主性。

The School (Department) of Journalism and Communication at Renmin University of China (RUC) is one of the first few institutions of communication education in the Chinese mainland to introduce communication research to China. Despite the relatively late establishment of the department of communication at RUC as an independent institution, two professors in the journalism department, Zhang Longdong and Lin Shan, had started introducing Western communication theories to China since the 1960s. For more than 60 years, the School (Department) of Journalism and Communication at RUC has always been at the forefront of communication research and education in China. After reviewing the history of the development of communication research in the School of Journalism and Communication at RUC, this study found that, as an academic discipline from the West, communication studies underwent a long process of disciplinization and localization in China. Its development was influenced less by its academic logic but more by external and accidental factors such as the process of disciplinization or the political and economic forces. The communication discipline was swaying between being critical and being receptive as well as between politics and markets. As such, the theoretical creativity in the discipline remains to be improved. For the communication discipline in China to develop in a healthy way, the future research efforts should strive to maintain academic autonomy and reflexivity.
