Der Beitrag versucht durch die "Vornahme begrifflicher Probebohrungen" die in der Literatur auffindbare Vielfalt der Begriffsangebote für "Governance" einander gegenüberzustellen. Diese Sichtung kommt zu einem großen Konsens über unverzichtbare Grundbausteine eines zumindest als Arbeitsinstrument tauglichen Governancebegriffs. In einem weiteren Schritt werden diese "Begriffsbausteine" in folgende Abfolge gebracht: Actors - Interaction - Communication - Coordination - Zusammenwirken staatlicher und gesellschaftlicher Akteure - Social Ordering. Aus dieser Übersicht geht hervor, um was es bei Governance eigentlich geht: es geht um die Koordination von Handlungsbeiträgen miteinander interagierender und kommunizierender staatlicher und nicht-staatlicher Akteure, wobei als Koordinationsmodus die so genannten Regelungsstrukturen deutlich im Vordergrund stehen. Aus diesen Grundbausteinen des Governancebegriffs wird dann der Kommunikationsaspekt herausgegriffen, um Governance als Kommunikationsprozess zu thematisieren. (ICA2)

In den letzten Jahren haben sich die Cultural Studies innerhalb des anglo-amerikanischen Raumes zu einem wichtigen Ansatz der Medienforschung entwickelt. Mit dem nun in der erweiterten, zweiten Auflage erschienenen Sammelband "Kultur - Medien - Macht. Cultural Studies und Medienwissenschaft" sollen einerseits grundlegende Konzepte der Cultural Studies vorgestellt, andererseits anhand exemplarischer Analysen das Potential dieses An-satzes aufgezeigt werden. Hierzu werden wichtige Texte von Ien Ang, John Fiske und La-wrence Grossberg erstmals in einer deutschen Übersetzung zugänglich gemacht. Daneben enthält der Sammelband Artikel zur Formierung der Cultural Studies, der Rezeption des Cultural Studies-Ansatzes im deutschsprachigen Raum - sowohl im wissenschaftlichen Bereich als auch in populärkulturellen Magazinen - und eine Vielzahl von kulturwissen-schaftlichen Analysen der Fernseh-, Zeitungs- und Netzkommunikation

"This volume discusses the development of cultural studies in India. It shows how inter-disciplinarity and cultural pluralism form the basis of this emerging field. It deals with contemporary debates and interpretations of post-colonial theory, subaltern studies, Marxism and post-Marxism, nationalism and post-nationalism. Drawing upon literature, linguistics, history, political science, media and theatre studies, and cultural anthropology, it explores themes such as caste, indigenous peoples, vernacular languages and folklore and their role in the making of historical consciousness. A significant intervention in the area, this book will be useful to scholars and students of cultural studies and theory, literature, history, cultural anthropology, sociology, and media and mass communication."

This report explores the history of alternative communication technologies and networks ("alternets"). It focuses on three historic formations of alternets: 1) the community telephone networks of the late 19th and early 20th century, 2) the Free Radio movement of the 1960's and 1970's, and 3) the first generation of community networks providing Internet access in the 1990's. For each of these movements, the deliverable offers case studies of specific alternets in various countries, mostly in Europe but also in North America. For each of them, we focus on key issues of the netCommons project such as the governance of networks, their long-term sustainability and technological aspects, as well as the political and legal hurdles they faced. The report concludes by drawing parallels and lessons that may be relevant to guide the actions of today's community networks.

AbstractIn the aftermath of the 7th July 2005 bombings in London, communication with those searching desperately for relatives and friends was one-way or non-existent. The authorities dealing with the processes of the identification of the bodies of those killed or the treatment of those injured adopted procedures and protocols derived from emergency or disaster planning that were framed in terms of an instrumentalisation or objectification of persons. This article traces how these procedures reflect biopolitical forms of global governance that involve the production of life as 'bare life' and details how inappropriate and brutal these forms of governance seemed both to those searching for the missing and to the London Assembly 7th July Review Committee. It concludes that attention needs to be paid to the proliferation of such forms of politics as administration and the objectification they entail before we reach a stage where all life becomes nothing more than bare life, life with no political voice as such.

With communication and relationships at the core of social work, this book reveals the way it is foremost a practice that becomes reality in dialogue, illuminating some of the profession's key dilemmas. Applied discourse studies illustrate the importance of talk and interaction in the construction of everyday and institutional life.This book provides a detailed review and illustration of the contribution of discourse approaches and studies on professional interaction to social work. Concentrating on how social workers carry out their work in everyday organisational encounters with se

"This book uses decolonisation as a lens to interrogate political communication styles, performance, and practice in Africa and the diaspora. The book interrogates the theory and practice of political communication, using decolonial research methods to begin a process of self-reflexivity and the creation of a new approach to knowledge production about African political communication. In doing so, it explores political communication approaches that might until recently have been considered subversive or dissident: forms of political communication that served to challenge imposed western norms and to empower African citizens and their histories. Centring African scholarship, the book draws on case studies from across the continent, including Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, media and communication in Africa"--
