This essay emerges from a broader conversation begun with Michel Foucault's development of heterotopia. Drawing from his notion of places whose paradoxes reflect social order, the Westinghouse “Middletons” campaign and General Motors Futurama at the 1939‐40 New York World's Fair and the General Electric Carousel of Progress at the 1964‐65 New York World's Fair are examined. The goal is to unpack strategies of social order revealed in these temporal heterotopias. Opportunities to expand on the notion of temporal heterotopias in other research environments are discussed.","PeriodicalId":113832,"journal":{"name":"New Jersey Journal of Communication","volume":"320 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123251999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some are called reporters; others are critics, reviewers, columnists and editors. Accordingly, these critics have different views on what should be their roles. As job titles vary, the traditional dichotomy between objective reporting and subjective criticism is less clear. While critics believe they should have a significant impact on their readers, they believe they should have minimal impact on the media arts themselves. The author disagrees, arguing the best criticism should make a point that has an impact on both the audience and the media arts. Good critical writing often uses narrative to allow the critic to point to moral truths. Superior criticism addresses broad issues, oftentimes by microscopically examining the details of media texts. The best criticism helps construct a “cultural frame” for the media arts and for the readers.","PeriodicalId":113832,"journal":{"name":"New Jersey Journal of Communication","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134009118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dominant symmetrical model in the public relations literature highlights efficiency and relationship‐building benefits, but research here incorporates control benefits of new technologies that are under explored—a voiding media gatekeepers, enhancing stakeholder monitoring and surveillance, and capturing more stakeholder data. Results of a survey with practitioners at 107 of the Fortune 500 companies suggest that efficiency benefits are especially important and that control and relationship‐building benefits are more or less equally important considerations. The research contributes to our understanding of control aspects of new technologies and underscores the need for more critical research into ethical concerns associated with such controls.","PeriodicalId":113832,"journal":{"name":"New Jersey Journal of Communication","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115880311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The dialogical prioritization of calls: Toward a communicative model of justice","authors":"Jeffrey W. Murray","doi":"10.1080/15456870309367435","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15456870309367435","url":null,"abstract":"While the philosophy of ethics of Emmanuel Levinas has had a profound impact on contemporary moral theory, there remains the formidable practical task of transforming his interpersonal account of ethics into a viable and productive model of justice with which to guide political decision making. This essay undertakes a preliminary investigation of this task. Consistent with Levinas, this essay claims that justice must begin with the acknowledgment of the Other and recognizes the important role that communication can play in the unmasking of the Other's face. But in the move to the social, multi‐personal relation, communication is needed not only to recover or unmask the face of the Other, but also to dialogically prioritize multiple ethical summonses. This essay argues, therefore, that Levinas's philosophy of ethics recommends a constraint on justice in which the competing calls of multiple Others are prioritized not by invoking an external hierarchy of principles, but through dialogue. This prioritization of calls can be achieved in dialogue precisely through the capacity of the Other's call to unsettle the self, which is manifested conversationally as the experience of having no rebuttal to the Other's call.","PeriodicalId":113832,"journal":{"name":"New Jersey Journal of Communication","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129628856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Is a Levinasian theory of justice possible? A response to Murray","authors":"Odysseus Makridis","doi":"10.1080/15456870309367436","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15456870309367436","url":null,"abstract":"In his essay \"The Dialogical Prioritization of Calls: Toward a Communicative Model of Justice,\" Jeffrey Murray (2003) searches for a theory of justice that is informed by Levinas' phenomenological ethics. I would not say a theory that is \"founded\" on Levinas' ethics. As we will see, Levinas' phenomenological antihegemonic, anti-metaphysical views are strongly anti-foundationalist and deeply suspicious of such redoubtable western traditions as Cartesian foundationalism and Kantian transcendentalist rationalism. Nor is it the case that Levinas' phenomenology favors a sentiment-based discursive analysis of human behavior and language. Levinas' views are not congenial to 20 century Anglo-American non-cognitivist views of ethics either. All this adumbrates poorly for the prospects of developing a Levinasian ethics, to say nothing of a theory of justice. David Hume, one of the most astute thinkers who ever lived, engraved the prolegomena to ethical theories of all times when he quizzed as to whether it is reason or sentiment that underpins and underwrites the subject matter of ethical reasoning. Indeed, with the whole cornucopia of ethical theories (consequentialism, principlism, deontology, non-cognitivism, virtue ethics, and post-colonial and post-modernist ethics) the various approaches gravitate toward either the one or the other; Kantian and teleological variants of rationalism, on the one hand, or sentimentbased theories of ethics on the other. Consequently, views like Levinas', which writhe in discomfiture in the presence of both reason and presumably generalizable sentiment, would be difficult, if not impossible, to fit into the rigors of an ethical-theoretical construct (*1). At a deeper level, Levinas' root suspicion of theory as such, on the grounds that it is a hegemonic imposition, preempts theoretical development. An ethical theory must, at a minimum, account for the phenomena ethics purports to study and recommend courses of action to ordinary, or even extra-ordinary human beings. It is in the latter sense that even Nietzsche has an ethical theory intended for the few peaks of humanity who will serve as ancestors to the Overman. Of course, there are today, many anti-theory constructions. This makes Levinas views especially timely. We should, however, guard against a confusion. What is known today by the neologistic term \"metaethics\" examines the conditions under","PeriodicalId":113832,"journal":{"name":"New Jersey Journal of Communication","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127110957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In that decade the journal went from little more than a glorified pamphlet to a respected, internationally distributed publication with an impressive list of contributors, editors, and subscribers. Along the way it also spawned a dynamic state association that earlier this year held its sixth well-attended conference. The NJJC has been a very successful endeavor. Celebrating a milestone like this is a nod of appreciation to the extended NJJC community, and a satisfying moment for those of us who have been with the journal since the early years. It particularly serves as applause for its longterm editor, Gary Radford. But I believe the real value is that the journal's success stands as an example that such a thing can be done. The truth, of course, is that many attempts at a serious journal do not fare as well.

As public issues they should receive the attention of all affected stakeholders, but as technical issues they are typically addressed through the narrow perspective of expertise. This essay argues that a reified distinction between “expert” and “lay” knowledge contributes to this problem, with implications both for democracy and for the quality of technical decisions. Integrating perspectives from communication theory with work in sociology and policy studies, the essay reexamines the expert/lay distinction and suggests a more dialogical, rather than dichotomous, model for the relationship between expert and lay knowledge. Two brief empirical examples, drawn from settings where lay citizens and technical specialists have collaborated closely, illustrate and ground the theoretical argument.","PeriodicalId":113832,"journal":{"name":"New Jersey Journal of Communication","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128469337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Audience perceptions, however, are sometimes vulnerable to forces that have little connection to objective reality. In particular, there is growing evidence that expected outcomes can circumvent critical thinking and alter audience evaluations of program content. In this controlled experiment, a type of placebo effect was revealed whereby audiences that were told that a particular newscast was ranked “number one” gave the program better overall credibility evaluations than equivalent test audiences who were told that the identical program was ranked last in its market.
