Out of the Margins? Race, Racism, and Colonialism in Canadian Communication Studies
Founded in 1974, the Canadian Journal of Communication (CJC) aims to publish Canadian research and scholarship in the field of communication studies. The purview of the journal is the entire field of communication studies as practiced in Canada or with relevance to Canada
Putting Race at the Forefront of Communication Studies
On the Margins of the Margins
Canada is defined by its commitment to multicultural diversity, tolerance and liberalism that belie the dominant whiteness of our institutions, including academia. Canadian Communication Studies, despite its history of attending to the power dynamics of the center and the margins, is no exception to this rule. Studies of racism and colonialism are confined to the corners of the discipline, reflecting the lack of representation in communication de…
Family Photography and Persecuted Communities
This paper examines methodological challenges involved in conducting research on family photographs from persecuted communities, using Japanese Canadian photos as a case study. Approaching family photography as a social practice that instills dominant familial ideologies, the paper examines their "performative scripts" that arrange family members according to normative identities and roles. The paper argues that researchers are not immune to scri…
Transnational spaces of exclusion in Glasgow
In 2000, the city of Glasgow signed a contract with the British government to house up to 2000 asylum seekers a year in what were considered some of the most notorious council estates across the city. These estates have some of the highest levels of deprivation in the United Kingdom and have been abandoned as zones of violence, antisocial behaviour and crime and are viewed by many policymakers as beyond rehabilitation. This is where thousands of …

Asylum in the Margins of Contemporary Britain
This article examines Jan Dunn’s film Gypo in the context of a wider field of films referred to as home territory asylum films, which portray asylum seekers as figures of movement who transform the lives of those living in the economic and social margins of the British home territories. In these films, desire compels the characters to cross the boundaries separating asylum seekers and local residents, transforming the spaces of exclusion with the…
Virilio
In The Vision Machine (1994) Paul Virilio uses powerful imagery to warn us about the consequences of our increasing dependence on “vision machines.” With little use, he claims that our sense organs will atrophy and we will degenerate into neurologically simple organisms. This article examines his use of imagery, arguing (after Nicholsen, 1997; Saussy, 2006; and Taussig, 1993) that he mimetically replicates cultural anxieties as well as the destru…
Photographs of a Japanese Canadian internment camp
This article examines photographic representations of an internment camp where the Canadian government held thousands of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War. The photographs were illegally taken by internees from the Tashme internment camp and were subsequently donated to the Japanese Canadian National Museum. The representations of the camp are strikingly different. One set of photographs presents the harsh living conditions in Tashme…
Narrating Japanese Canadians In and Out of the Canadian Nation
During World War II the Canadian government implemented a systematic plan to rid British Columbia of over 22,000 Japanese Canadians. Forty years later, Japanese Canadians mobilized in a movement to demand redress. To make their case, they used realism with its objective research methods to prove that the government’s actions violated their rights. But while realism helped them win their case, this paper claims that there were ramifications. While…
