Exploring cultural diversity: A network analysis of the communicative correlates of shyness within the black culture

This Investigation was designed to explore the experience of shyness within the black culture. Specifically, this is the second study In a three‐phase research program designed to assess the relationship between social network attributes and shyness. In order to achieve this purpose, this study compared the communication networks of high, moderate, and low‐shy black communicators with expectations about the communicative behavior of shy individuals drawn from existing research on shyness. The results suggest that shyness may be experienced differently within culturally‐diverse populations; thus, there is a need for In‐depth intracultural investigations of shyness before an understanding of this phenomenon in intercultural contexts can be achieved.     

The rhetoric of emerging nationalism: A case study in Irish rhetorical failure

In the 1922 Irish general election campaign, the cause of self‐determination split itself into two opposing groups. While the factions argued, from apparently common ground, they were in reality much different and argued from separate universes of discourse. This polarization and the lack of traditionally democratic methods in the political arena made it difficult to bring about change rhetorically.     

Overcoming the apartheid legacy: the special case of the Freedom Charter

This paper outlines the construction of the “official” archives of the South African apartheid state and the distorted view they contain concerning social and political realities. Therefore, the colonial and apartheid legacies are examined in a broader context as an oppressive social and political system, as well as in the more specific context of how their legacy is reflected in the official archives. The development and popular endorsement of the Freedom Charter of 1955 was a seminal moment of challenge to the increasing oppression of the apartheid state. In later decades, the Freedom Charter became an iconic reference point in the antiapartheid struggle and the inspiration for the construction of a constitutional democracy in the 1990s. The process of its creation stands in stark contrast to the processes of creation of official records and archives. The paper also examines the survival of the Freedom Charter and the struggle to save it from auction in London and secure its safe passage to the National Archives of South Africa. Finally, questions of meaning and ideological significance are asked in relation to the role of a National Archives in the current dominant historical narrative.

A history of the development of black radio networks in the United States

This study examines and documents the history and development of black radio networks in the United States.

The findings of this article reveal that although these networks are similar to other networks in the country, their mission and philosophy is very different in that black radio networks go a step further by attempting to target the specific needs of the black community.

反美学观照:广告文化对艺术审美价值的消解

广告与艺术各自有着不尽相同的审美规范和不能互容的审美价值,广告的存在根据并不在广告文化内部,广告的商业属性决定了其他在他为的特征,广告文化的当下性和功利性构成了对艺术普遍性和超越性的消解。我们这里对广告文化的反美学关照并非要进行优劣的价值判断,因为我们不认为审美价值应该定于一尊,艺术本质不能代表所有的审美价值。当然,广告的反美学观照也不表明我们要举双手赞成广告对艺术美学规范的冲击,我们的立场是人本主义的理性审视,即对人类健全精神的关注。
