“Communication,” “Critical”

Despite the proliferation of critical studies of communication, the meanings of the words “communication” and “critical” remain deeply contested. Attending to the history of the use of these terms inside and outside of the academy offers a broader perspective on some of the most pressing issues confronting scholars of communication today.     

What's in a Name?

These words critique the ongoing tendency to create false dichotomies between different approaches in media studies. Delivered as part of a panel on the future of media studies at the 2013 Society for Cinema and Media Studies, I offer a definition of critique that all critical media scholars should share.

“互联网+”背景下档案公众参与融合探析——基于江苏省各级档案网站公众参与板块的调查分析

公众参与是新时期档案工作的典型特征,为了探究我国档案网站与社交媒体平台在公众参与领域的融合情况,笔者采用定量分析的研究方法对江苏省内可有效访问的36个县市区级档案网站进行调研,发现目前档案网站与社交媒体平台基于公众参与领域的融合并不充分,依旧存在公众参与定位不清晰,融合目的不明确、公众参与内容交叉重复,参与活动层次不高,以及两者运行独立,互动率低等问题。为此,笔者从思想观念、制度保障以及融合的内容和方式等层面着手,对各要素的地位、关系以及实现条件进行系统论述,尝试构建一个“互联网+”背景下以社交媒体平台与档案网站公众参与融合为基础的新型档案公众参与模式,从而提升公众参与的效率及质量。

英国文化马克思主义与二战后媒介研究的生成

\"媒介研究\"是英国文化研究发轫以降的一大核心旨趣,其兴起与二战后英国\"丰裕社会\"的来临、媒介文化的爆炸以及\"新左派\"诞生的特定历史情境紧密相关。\"文化马克思主义\"旨在破除教条主义对\"经济基础与上层建筑\"理论模式的机械阐释,强调从一种隐喻意义上理解二者之间的复杂交互关系,并且在社会历史总过程中将\"文化\"重构为一种\"日常的\"生活方式。霍加特、威廉斯以及青年霍尔的早期研究充分展现了\"文化马克思主义\"在媒介研究领域的理论特性。     

Meta-analysis of the relationship between Internet use and political participation: examining main and moderating effects

Although a growing number of studies are examining the relationship between Internet use and political participation, varying study characteristics make the overall effect size difficult to estimate. Using a meta-analysis, we estimated the mean effect size and tested whether the effect size was influenced by study characteristics. Data for this meta-analysis were derived from 56 papers reporting 63 independent studies. Results revealed that Internet use had a weak relationship with political participation (r_c?=?.22). Moderator analyses demonstrated that type of Internet use, Internet use measure, Internet use for news, type of political participation, sample origin, and survey year significantly moderated the relationship between Internet use and political participation. For instance, Internet use including news (r_c?=?.27) had a significantly stronger relationship with political participation than did Internet use excluding news (r_c?=?.19). European samples (r_c?=?.27) had the largest mean correlation followed by North American samples (r_c?=?.23) and Asian samples (r_c?=?.18) in decreasing order of strength of relationship. The theoretical and methodological implications of the findings are discussed.     

WHEN THE MEDIA MEET CROWDS OF WISDOM

In an increasingly digital world where many are predicting the demise of the traditional newspaper, the media are turning to the masses to report and help report through the power of Internet journalism. Taking their cues from other areas such as photography and science, news organizations are employing the increasingly popular concept of “crowdsourcing” where tasks traditionally performed by employees are outsourced to a large network of people, recruited through an open call. This paper examines five different cases of crowdsourced journalism, classified on the basis of type of coverage and audience demographic. The study explores the strategies employed in each case, analyzes the benefits and pitfalls, and offers suggestions and ideas for future ventures. Observations and insights from journalists in different organizations are used to evaluate how crowdsourcing is blurring the lines between journalists as reporters and citizens as consumers.     

阿里巴巴的进化史与小资本主义的平台化:对本土语境平台化的考察

针对数字平台在中国的迅速扩张,本文以阿里巴巴为例,反思西方平台化研究的局限,质询本土语境如何塑造了中国的平台化进程。以小资本主义为本土语境的切入点,本文搭建了一个集纳国家、中小企业、风险资本、平台运作机制的整合性框架,用以分析阿里巴巴的进化史。本文提出,阿里巴巴瞄准并利用了小资本主义传统中国家与中小企业的结构性张力,通过不断调整与国家、中小企业、风险资本、平台机制的关系实现了平台扩张。强调语境化、历史化和多元力量的整合性框架打破了西方平台研究的标准叙事,为平台研究提供了新的思路。
