The social resonance of environmental media messages: A connectionist-inspired reception analysis
This study examines the reasons why certain environmental messages are received negatively by some social groups and not by others. In particular, the study provides insights into the influence of fear appeals in environmental communication and explores how communication strategies can be optimised to encourage environmentally friendly behaviour. In contrast to many studies that adopt a linear perspective on media effects, this study analyses the…
Fictional Frontlines: A Mapping Review and Research Agenda for the Study of Far-right Engagement with Films, Television and Video Games
With audiovisual fiction still largely overlooked in recent literature on the far right, this article turns its attention to research dedicated to the intersections between the far right and films, television series and video games. Based on a mapping review, we first identify main trends in existing literature, finding that it is mainly focused on (1) history and memory, (2) far-right regimes, and (3) film, and is (4) largely based in humanities…
Being and becoming in the culture of immediacy: An existential-ethical approach
In this article we employ an Interpretative Phenomenological Approach to explore online immediacy from an existential-ethical perspective. While existing literature already accounts for the socio-cultural and psychological impact of constant connectivity, we venture to reveal its underlying existential-ethical implications. Our findings show the often contradictory ways in which young adults cope with the allure of immediate-aesthetic experiences…
One city, different views: An analysis of cultural schemes on Brussels as a living environment
Brussels is struggling with a negative image as a living environment. This converges with an outward migration of economically better-off inhabitants, which has a negative effect on tax revenues. Improving the image of Brussels has thus become a policy priority. This paper investigates perceptions about Brussels within three subpopulations: Brussels residents, commuters and non-residents. By applying cluster analysis to 180 interviews, distinctiv…
Like the Oceans We Rise’: News Frames on Youth for Climate
In early 2019, following the example of the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, youth-led climate movements around the world demonstrated massively and persistently for a more ambitious climate policy. News media gave extensive coverage to the climate activists; given that the demonstrations were mostly on school days, public debates on young people’s rights, obligations and political agency were tense and polarized. In this article we take …
Perceptions as drivers of residential mobility: A resonance analysis
A sensemaking perspective on the roll-out of transdisciplinary learning communities in an academic environment from Bolivia
Through a sensemaking lens, this article investigates the concrete appropriation of the so-called transdisciplinary learning communities-approach (TLC for short) as part of a Flemish–Bolivian university cooperation project for development. The article has its empirical basis in ethnographic research conducted between 2017 and 2020 on four campuses of the Bolivian university UCB. The primary data is the so-called organisational talk, gathered thro…
The logic of formatting: A case study on transnational television production
The transnationalization of television production has been examined by studies on formats and multinational media companies, which have often highlighted the resilience of the local in the global. This article investigates transnationalization on the micro level of television production, drawing on participant observations in a Dutch production company that is partly owned by an American conglomerate. It explores the deep entanglement of the loca…
Berichtgeving in Belgische kranten over Brussel als woonplaats
L’image extrêmement négative de Bruxelles dans la presse, souvent citée comme un facteur expliquant le manque d’attrait de la ville en tant que lieu de vie, fait rarement l’objet de recherches. Cette étude porte sur la façon dont les journaux belges présentent la vie bruxelloise, ainsi que sur la façon dont ces représentations sont corrélées à des schémas culturels plus généraux qui influent sur les perceptions de la population. Une analyse des c…

Navigating Onlife Privacy: A Family Environment Perspective on Children’s Moral Principles
This article illuminates which moral principles children and their parents invoke to explain onlife privacy-related practices from a family ecological and narrative approach. It draws on a focused ethnographic study with 10 Flemish socially privileged families with a keen interest in digital technologies and at least one child entering their teenage years. We analyse our data through the analytical lens of a sociopsychological framework that cons…
Everyone Working a Little More Closely Together”: The Transnationalization of Creative Production in TV Production Conglomerates
To survive contemporary developments in the TV industry and as a result of international mergers and acquisitions, production companies often form transnational media corporations. In this article, we examine TV production groups as global-local networks that pursue competitive advantages of transnational integration. Combining a critical industry studies approach with management perspectives, and building on different data sources, this article …
That's My Art: A Case Study on Children's Views of Cultural Policy
How do children experience a participatory TV cultural policy project and, related to that, which views do they share on cultural policy matters? These questions guided a case study on a TV show aired on the Flemish children's public service channel, which staged children as cultural experts. Although the programme was presented as a participatory project, we found that the children's views were minimally involved in the production process. The c…
Exploring Types of Parent–Child Relationship and Internet use across Europe
This article explores internet-related parent–child relationships across twenty-five European countries. Parent–child dyads are analysed in terms of parental mediation, digital competence, and communicative proximity, in order to answer the following research questions: Which types of parent–child relationship with respect to internet use can be found? How do they coincide with developmental, social, and cultural patterns? And how are they distri…
A Shared Responsibility: Similarities and differences in the factors that shape online risk assessment for children in Europe
Children's growing use of the Internet creates both opportunities and risks. Collecting and comparing empirical findings on risks and opportunities experienced across 20 different European countries shows significant differences between them. Using Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), this article investigates which factors contribute towards a high degree of online risk experienced by children across these countries. The research shows that p…
Reflections of a Child. Depicting Healthy Childhood in the 1940s and 1960s
L’âge tendre a traversé plusieurs changements au cours du siècle passé. Les enfants se sont transformés d’adultes miniatures, travaillant dans des ateliers, dans des êtres avec des droits spécifiques. Ce changement a modifié la façon dont la société a considéré l’âge tendre et dont les enfants doivent être traités. Cette évolution a été étudiée sur un niveau macro, par exemple à travers l’industrialisation. Toutefois, l’histoire des enfants même …
Power to the People? The myth of television consumer sovereignty revisited
This article attempts to nuance the argument of consumer sovereignty put forward by both liberal thinkers and cultural studies. Although recognising the importance (hence existence) of consumer sovereignty, the article goes against the stream of cultural audience studies and liberal accounts that have studied the benefits, pleasure and empowerment associated with watching TV. Instead it focuses on the other side of TV experience, the losses, disp…
