This is a field that for several reasons finds itself at a crossroads. This is reflected in this issue that is diverse and global, with 15 articles covering studies from 9 countries from across both Asia,…
The Laboratory as Pedagogy for Social Change: Innovation for Research and Education
This article develops an original pedagogical model, a Lab(oratory) for training and scientific practice in the field of Communication for Social Change. The proposal arises from the practical experiences achieved through the collaborative work of the Kaleidoscope Network, which is an international epistemic and practical community for the study of digital culture and human development. The case studies used by the Kaleidoscope Network are derive…
Unlearning Communication for Social Change—A Pedagogical Proposition
We have in recent years seen growing calls for pedagogies for social change amongst communication and development scholars, identifying resistances, critiques, and emerging practices in the field. This review article addresses this ‘pedagogical turn’, suggesting that it is in these pedagogies we can see the pathways to unlearn and relearn communication for social change. Offering a decolonial analytical lens, this article asks two questions: What…
Knowledge production and epistemic injustices: The use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence
This article explores the complexities emerging from the knowing subject engaging in knowledge generation through artificial intelligence and digital technologies. By exploring a recent literature review as our case study, the possible existence of biases that may distort the studied reality and generate epistemic inequalities is investigated. A reflexive approach drawn from decolonial and feminist perspectives is applied. Findings underline the …
Emancipatory Communication: A Critical Reflection on Communication Sciences in the Post-Pandemic Era 1
In an era of uncertainty, where epistemic freedoms are challenged and where many people feel excluded, how can communication – both as a discipline and a practice – serve to combat these uncertainties and feelings of exclusion? What epistemology can guide us and orient our communication science to ensure the right of all to produce knowledge on equal terms? What communication practice ensures inclusion and participation for all? Based upon a revi…

A visão de desenvolvimento e mudança social de Freire: Experiências do passado, desafios do presente e perspectivas para o futuro
Este artigo propõe tomar o pensamento de Freire como um modelo ou mesmo paradigma de comunicação, desenvolvimento e mudança social. Para tanto, primeiro delineamos a dimensão ontológica de Freire, apresentando e discutindo seus cinco princípios subjacentes. Em seguida, percorremos seu legado, apresentando e discutindo como ele inspirou três importantes pensadores ibero-americanos, Augusto Boal, Juan Díaz Bordenave e Boaventura de Sousa Santos. Fi…

Freire’s vision of development and social change: Past experiences, present challenges and perspectives for the future
This article proposes to view Freire’s thinking beyond a pedagogical method and rather as a model or even paradigm of development and social change. To build this as an original argument we firstly outline Freire’s ontological call, presenting and discussing his underlying five principles, of which one in particular, dialogue, situates Freirean thinking within communication theory. Secondly, we trace Freire’s legacy by presenting and discussing h…

Findings suggest that the…
Communication, Social Movements, and Collective Action: Toward a New Research Agenda in Communication for Development and Social Change
The growing emphasis on collective action raises new questions for research and practice in communication for development and social change. What actors drive processes of collective action? What are the communication features of their interventions? What type of social change processes do they enhance? What evidence demonstrates the impact of collective action processes? What theoretical frameworks inform our understanding of collective action a…

Desde aquí se propone una aproximación teórico-metodológica al análisis del proceso de construcción de sentido de las audiencias, sugiriendo nuevas formas de evaluar cómo las intervenciones de tipo E-E influyen en aquellas. El abordaje propuesto se ilustra a partir de un estudio …

Civil society sphericules: Emerging communication platforms for civic engagement in Tanzania
This article explores the communicative practice of a Tanzanian NGO, Femina. Based on a tripartite model of engagement (Madianou, 2012) integrating speech, action and understanding, and drawing on fieldwork on the communication practices of Femina, I critically assess the forms of civic engagement the organization strategizes about and seeks to articulate amongst Tanzanian youth. Situated in the 'perverse confluence' ( Dagnino, 2011 ) between neo…
Introduction: Civic mediations
It is with great pleasure that we introduce this special issue of Ethnography on ‘Civic Mediations’. The two of us have long felt that the time is ripe for a deeper conversation about what it means to do an ethnography of the public sphere. In this issue we seek to problematize what public sphere ethnography means as an epistemological problem, as a matter of ethnographic engagement, and as a mode of ethnographic writing and re-presentation. The …

Cultural Fields, Communication and Ethnicity: Public Libraries and Ethnic Media Supply in a Neighbourhood of Copenhagen
This article is a cultural analysis conducted in a neighbourhood of Copenhagen, Indre Nørrebro, where approximately 20 percent of the population is of other than Danish ethnic origin. It sheds light on the structural characteristics of two strategic sites, or cultural fields, within which everyday life and identity formation of ethnic minorities take place. We deliberately explore how ethnicity works or does not work as a marker in the configurat…

Hverdagsliv og telenovelaer - et etnografisk studie af brasilianske kvinders brug af telenovelaer
I den internationale medieetnografiske diskussion står begrebet om hver- dagslivet (everyday life) centralt, men er sjældent teoretisk defineret eller begrundet. Ud fra kulturteoretiske teorier om hverdagslivet og egne em- piriske undersøgelser beskriver Thomas Tufte telenovelaen, som er Syd- amerikas svar på soap-operaen. Han analyserer, hvorledes genren ind- går i brasilianske kvinders organisering af tid, rum og sociale relationer. Undervejs u…

Aids, globalisation and ontological security
The working hypothesis of this article is that many of the root causes of AIDS are intrinsically tied to the processes of globalisation. To develop efficient responses to AIDS requires more than conveying a clear message about sexual behaviour. It will often require broader strategies to empower the audiences to handle difficult conditions of everyday life. By drawing on post-colonial theory on the interrelation between media and migration, moder…
