На основе контент-анализа и критического дискурс-анализа 1 240 публикаций газеты «Нодон синмун» за 2017–2024 гг., а также систематической выборки материалов The New York Times, The Washington Post и CNN за тот же период выявлены динамика и механизмы конструирования образа США и установлена степень структурной симметрии этого конструкта с американским медиаобразом КНДР.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Выявлена принципиально важная закономерность: стратегический нарратив о США как «главном империалистическом враге» остаётся константным, однако тактическая риторика подвергается регулярной модуляции в зависимости от фазы дипломатического цикла. Одновременно показано, что американский медиадискурс о КНДР воспроизводит структурно симметричную бинарную оппозицию «свой–чужой», меняя лишь смысловые полюса.</p><p>Теоретическая и/или практическая значимость. Обнаруженный механизм «зеркального конструирования» интерпретируется как структурный элемент затяжного геополитического конфликта, в котором образ противника выполняет идентификационную, легитимационную, мобилизационную и сигнальную функции для обоих участников.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. This article examines the mechanisms by which the image of the United States is constructed in North Korean media discourse and its structural symmetry with the American media image of the DPRK.</p></sec><sec><title>Methodology</title><p>Methodology. Based on content analysis and critical discourse analysis of 1,240 publications of the Nodon Sinmun newspaper for 2017–2024, as well as a systematic sample of materials from The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN for the same period, the dynamics and mechanisms of designing the image of the United States were revealed and the degree of structural symmetry of this construct with the American media image of the DPRK.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. A fundamentally important pattern is identified: while the strategic narrative of the United States as the "main imperialist enemy" remains constant, tactical rhetoric undergoes regular modulation depending on the phase of the diplomatic cycle. Concurrently, it is shown that American media discourse about the DPRK reproduces a structurally symmetrical binary opposition of "friend or foe," shifting only the semantic poles.</p></sec><sec><title>Research implications</title><p>Research implications. The discovered mechanism of “mirror construction” is interpreted as a structural element of a protracted geopolitical conflict, in which the image of the enemy performs identification, legitimation, mobilization and signaling functions for both participants.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>КНДР</kwd><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>«Нодон синмун»</kwd><kwd>образ врага</kwd><kwd>политический медиадискурс</kwd><kwd>контент-анализ</kwd><kwd>критический дискурс-анализ</kwd><kwd>фрейминг</kwd><kwd>тактическая модуляция</kwd><kwd>зеркальное конструирование</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>DPRK</kwd><kwd>USA</kwd><kwd>Rodong Sinmun</kwd><kwd>enemy image</kwd><kwd>political media discourse</kwd><kwd>content analysis</kwd><kwd>critical discourse analysis</kwd><kwd>framing</kwd><kwd>tactical modulation</kwd><kwd>mirror construction</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Myers B.
