[Linganth] Journal of Communication Inquiry CFP Reminder

[Paul Sutherland]

Hi all,


Apologies for cross-posting.


This is a reminder that the Journal for Communication Inquiry is accepting submissions for the 2017 theme issue, "Articulations of International Media and English". The revised deadline for submissions is February 19th 2017. Please see the attached PDF for full details. The following is a summary:


This issue will be devoted to the connections the global spread of English makes with media production and consumption in places where English is not the mother tongue. This includes, but is not limited to, countries where English was introduced via colonization or is treated as a foreign language. English and its global dissemination have been analyzed in terms that range from linguistic imperialism, to neoliberal hegemony, to audience uses of English to create new definitions of the local, national, and global. When approaching the spread of English from a media studies perspective, popular television shows in English, movies in English, and locally-produced English-language news and entertainment content all become objects of analysis. These contexts can include diasporic and indigenous media.

JCI is seeking input from scholars in a variety of disciplines who can find ways to wed theory from the fields of media and linguistics to examine the intersections of English and media production and consumption. We strongly encourage submissions from international scholars who can provide insiders' perspectives on the relationships between English language media and indigenous language media in places around the world.


Please contact JCI Managing Editor John C. Carpenter (john-c-carpenter at uiowa.edu) with questions.

Best,
Paul Sutherland
