Canadian Journal of Political Science / Revue canadienne de science politique, Vol. 23, No. 2. (January 1990), pp. 335-357
Abstract
In 1946, after visiting Russia, Harold Innis remarked that the time had come to broaden the range of political economy by studying, first, the struggle for social supremacy between states, churches and commerce; and, second, the related competition between languages, religions, cultures and communications media. This, I argue, is what Innis accomplished. His early studies of Canadian economic history transcended conventional economics and laid the groundwork for a later political theory of communications. It expressly took up the 1946 challenge to ...

Abstract
This review is necessarily fragmentary, considering the tremendous publishing output associated with the label “visual studies,” the continuing re-definition of this field, and the fact that I am writing from a doubly external vantage point, since my own research is in the history of images and since I am writing in the French context, where visual studies remains a shadowy presence at best. I am indebted to James Elkins's introductory remarks to his recently edited volume, Theorizing Visual ... ...

Abstract
A widespread agreement seems to be emerging within media research that the time has come for media sociology and cultural studies, the two major, traditionally hostile paradigms, to embark on a process of cross-fertilization. This article considers in an historical perspective a number of recent studies of the television audience carried out in this spirit of innovation, and critically evaluates the aims, theories and methods underlying the specific hybrid projects of Katz/Liebes, Radway, and Ang. ...

Abstract
A modest footnote in the mid-century annals of digital communication sciences, this article observes several strange loops in the dual biographies of Norbert Wiener, a primary founder of cybernetics – an American-born computer-compatible communication science that later took root in the Soviet Union – and his father, Leo Wiener, a Byelostock émigré who began Slavic studies in America. It proceeds in two parts: first, a biographical reflection on Norbert Wiener's method by analogy, which he first developed under his father as ...

Abstract
The sociological theory of Hugh Dalziel Duncan is reviewed as a symbolic interactionist answer to the Hobbesian question. It is argued that Duncan's work provides contemporary sociology with a comprehensive symbolic theory, and that a reconsideration of this work will produce a much-needed awareness of the importance of form and art to sociological thinking. Duncan's theoretical work is proposed as a powerful alternative to structural-functionalism. ...

Abstract
This article examines the matching emergence and development of cultural studies (CS) and transdisciplinarity (TD) following the 1960s social and political events in the West, out of which emerged, amongst others, poststructuralism and postcolonialism. It explores the emancipatory potential of CS in the 70s and 80s, and how it arguably gave way in the 90s to TD, focused as it is on praxis and problem-solving research. The South African chapter of CS is examined by pointing out available alternatives for TD ...

Abstract
This essay addresses recent misrepresentations of the study of political economy of the media. The discussion is grounded in some historical background, including a brief sketch of some of the history of critical communications research in the US, which flourished within the global profusion of critical research in the 1960s and 1970s. Part of this history is the emergence of organisational support for critical scholarship as well as the long-term employment of individual scholars by specific universities that made critical classes ...

Abstract
Since the 1968 Chapel Hill study by McCombs and Shaw (1972), agenda-setting theory has become a main perspective of research on media effects, and it has been tested in many other countries outside the United States. The thematic meta-analysis of Chinese agenda-setting articles performed in this study identifies some important trends of agenda-setting research in mainland China, including an increase of interest in agenda-setting theory, a dominance of the original agenda-setting approach and focus, a diversity of topical domains, an atheoretical ...

Abstract
This introductory essay outlines some of the issues that surround contemporary engagements with the “popular” as a site of political struggle and change. This piece notes that in the 30 years since Stuart Hall published his seminal essay, “Notes on Deconstructing the Popular,” the power relations that define the term as well as the way in which scholars study the popular have shifted in profound ways. The authors argue that, rather than simply equating the popular with popular culture, it is necessary ...

International Journal of Communication, Vol. 7 (2013)
Abstract
The history of public relations has recently attracted the interest of critical media scholars. Edward L. Bernays, the author of several pioneering PR books, has profoundly influenced how critical scholars have conceived of public relations. Bernays deceptively claimed that Walter Lippmann provided the theory and that he provided the practice, creating the false impression that Lippmann was an apologist for PR. Lippmann actually denounced government and corporate publicity agents as propagandists and censors. Yet critical PR scholarship has uncritically accepted and ...

Abstract
In summarizing key developments in the study of ethics in journalism and mass communication, problems and opportunities for the future are identified. Major activities contributing to the ethics study trend include a succession of specialized books, a journal, workshops, courses, and student writing contests. These achievements have pulled journalism ethics from the marsh of neglect to a flatland of consciousness, with a four?tiered mountain remaining to be scaled that will propel mainstream communication ethicists into the arena with a growing number ...
