Abstract

Canada is defined by its commitment to multicultural diversity, tolerance and liberalism that belie the dominant whiteness of our institutions, including academia. Canadian Communication Studies, despite its history of attending to the power dynamics of the center and the margins, is no exception to this rule. Studies of racism and colonialism are confined to the corners of the discipline, reflecting the lack of representation in communication departments, the canon, and in the field’s flagship journal. This sharply contrasts the prevalence of contemporary issues concerning race, religion, nationalism, nationwide Indigenous movements and anti-racist campaigns, as well as mobilizations against police violence, Islamophobia, and pipelines. Colonialism, race and racialization are central to the framing of these issues and demand urgent attention.

在页边空白:# CommunicationSoWhite-Canadian Style

加拿大以其对多元文化多样性、宽容和自由主义的承诺而闻名，这些承诺掩盖了我们的机构(包括学术界)中白人占主导地位的事实。加拿大传播研究，尽管其历史上关注的是中心和边缘的权力动态，也不例外。对种族主义和殖民主义的研究被局限在学科的角落，这反映出在传播系、经典和该领域的旗舰期刊中缺乏代表性。这与当代有关种族、宗教、民族主义、全国土著运动和反种族主义运动以及反对警察暴力、伊斯兰恐惧症和管道的动员的普遍问题形成鲜明对比。殖民主义、种族和种族化是构成这些问题的核心，需要得到紧急关注。

期刊介绍： CCC provides an international forum for critical research in communication, media, and cultural studies. We welcome high-quality research and analyses that place questions of power, inequality, and justice at the center of empirical and theoretical inquiry. CCC seeks to bring a diversity of critical approaches (political economy, feminist analysis, critical race theory, postcolonial critique, cultural studies, queer theory) to bear on the role of communication, media, and culture in power dynamics on a global scale. CCC is especially interested in critical scholarship that engages with emerging lines of inquiry across the humanities and social sciences. We seek to explore the place of mediated communication in current topics of theorization and cross-disciplinary research (including affect, branding, posthumanism, labor, temporality, ordinariness, and networked everyday life, to name just a few examples). In the coming years, we anticipate publishing special issues on these themes.
