Abstract

This paper takes Foucault’s Heterotopia Theory as the core framework, and combines the theories of communication semiotics, cultural hegemony and cross-cultural communication to systematically analyze the logical scenic construction and in-depth global communication intention of Latin American and Southeast Asian ethnic minority elements in the Marsh Market in Zootopia 2. As the core heterotopian space of the film, the embedding of ethnic minority elements in the Marsh Market is essentially a cross-cultural communication political practice with space as the carrier, symbols as the tools and power as the core, reflecting the dual predicament of ethnic minority cultures being “othered” and achieving “limited breakthrough” in the context of globalization.
