‘Citizenship and media’
Special Commentary Section of Media and Cultural Politics
Issue 3.2

This is a call for short essays on the relationship between citizenship and media for the commentary section of the International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics (MCP). We invite essays that address any of the following questions or others not covered here. Do the media in our spectacle-laden, consumerist society trigger an ‘evaporation of politics’,or do they reinforce new forms of mediated citizenship? Can, and to what extent, particular media forms encourage a sense of political or social agency? Are we dealing with the inevitability of political atrophy (on a
mega-level), or are we faced in our post-9/11 era with a different
understanding of citizenship? Is this the way towards a global civil
society?

Essays should be no longer than 2.000 words.

MCP addresses cultural politics in their local, international and global
dimensions, and promotes critical, in-depth, engaged research on the
intersections of sociology, politics, cultural studies and media studies.
MCP aims to provide a forum for debate arising from findings as well as
theory and methodologies, so a range of research approaches and methods is
encouraged.

Deadline : 20 December 2006
