We provide a state-of-the-discipline review of contemporary empirical studies that tie globalization and linguistic communication to their social significance and to the contextually rooted practices of individuals. We organize the literature into four areas according to their treatment of the global circulation of signs: relationship between the local and global, human agency, identity formation, and media of circulation. Based on this review, we highlight the limitations of the circulation metaphor, describe the translocal movements of discursive resources as a potentially cyclical process, and show how the use of discursive resources can take on a political dimension. We conclude with four suggestions for future research.","PeriodicalId":36859,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the International Communication Association","volume":"80 1","pages":"101 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74358362","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}

On the other hand, data demonstrate that large proportions of the public know about notable fake news stories and believe them. These findings imply the possibility that most people hear about fake news stories not from fake news websites but through their coverage in mainstream news outlets. Thus far, only limited attention has been directed to the role of mainstream media in the dissemination of disinformation. To remedy this, this article synthesizes the literature pertaining to understand the role mainstream media play in the dissemination of fake news, the reasons for such coverage and its influences on the audience.","PeriodicalId":36859,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the International Communication Association","volume":"4 1","pages":"157 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87432463","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}

Research has examined how media exposure influences aspects of moral development among children and adolescents. These lines of research remain largely unintegrated, however, and extant theories lack an explicit developmental perspective. We argue that Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) is a useful tool for contextualizing past findings and thus review the extant literature in this area. Secondly, we integrate developmental theory with MFT and the Model of Intuitive Morality and Exemplars. This paper will help researchers to understand how human development and media use interact to influence moral module salience, with implications for understanding effects of exposure on children and adolescents.","PeriodicalId":36859,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the International Communication Association","volume":"39 1","pages":"120 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85627513","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}

New theoretical propositions and knowledge practices need to grow out of the comparisons between descriptions, especially comparisons between the Southern cases. Using China and India as two cases, this paper reviews the descriptions of communication technology in the two countries and compares the descriptions. Through such comparisons, the paper concludes that the communication technology studies on China and India provide three theoretical insights: firstly, the state-society relationship shapes communication technology; secondly, the increasing pluralization or hybridity of the cyberspace shapes how communication technology is used; and lastly, it is the quest for finding one’s self (or selves) in a Chinese/Indian modernity that could provide references to other contexts.","PeriodicalId":36859,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the International Communication Association","volume":"1 1","pages":"34 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82959322","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}

Dissimilar paradigms account for only part of the picture, in that they largely ignore non-material dimensions of life, religion and the immaterial. A case study explains how early theories and methods had been re-articulated in South Africa to legitmize the opposite of the field’s intentions – racial separation rather than intercultural understanding. A brief and eclectic tour of how IC has been adopted and adapted in other national contexts is offered. IC is briefly also examined in how it has been very differently elaborated and elevated through drawing on Jacques Derrida and British cultural studies to address global issues in China.","PeriodicalId":36859,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the International Communication Association","volume":"35 1","pages":"19 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79185119","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 this essay, I approach the concept of territorialidad as a pragmatic and constitutive environmental communication to argue that territoriality opens up ways to interrogate space and place, translation, and identity. I based this argument on my research with Awá, binational Indigenous people living at the border between Ecuador and Colombia. As a decolonial option from the Global South, territoriality (1) counters Western narratives that privilege the global over the local; (2) offers novel ways to understand translation as both a communicative practice and a historicist inquiry; and, (3) furthers the notion of ecocultural identity.","PeriodicalId":36859,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the International Communication Association","volume":"44 1","pages":"50 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76879300","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}
