Thoughts on Lazarsfeld’s New York “Radio Studies” from the Perspective of 2010
This chapter explores three topics: Lazarsfeld’s departure for the United States and his attempts to re-establish his academic career; another group’s (Frankfurt Institute) necessity to leave Nazi Germany and its relationships with Columbia’s Bureau of Social Research; and an exploration of the unacknowledged intellectual contributions of Lazarsfeld’s female staff to the theoretical development of U.S. radio and mass communication studies. Among …
The Katz/Lowenthal Encounter
This article traces the scholarly contacts between two important intellectual traditions: the historically based, Marxist Frankfurt school and the Lazarsfeld/Merton Bureau of Applied Social Research in New York between 1934 and 1956. In this account, the focus will be on the differential career stages of Leo Lowenthal and Elihu Katz and what that meant for their understanding of the mass culture critique. Three interrelated questions will be addr…
Constructing the Quebec Referendum
Remembering Our Past
Doing a historiography of the field of Canadian communication studies is very much a work in progress for which many of the building blocks are not yet known. Three types of information are needed. Information on the sociohistorical setting in which our field emerged, on the founders who conceptualized it in different universities (French and English), and on the theoretical emphases of our field. This paper brings together some of this contextua…
Constructing the Quebec Referendum
The 1980 Quebec Referendum was a momentous event that redefined Canada's nationalist ideologies. While the political implications of the referendum have been widely analysed, this is the first sustained study of the role played by the media in shaping and interpreting the referendum campaign.Robinson takes an in-depth look at three separate issues. She first pinpoints the ways in which federal and provincial nationalist rhetorics were constructed…
Monopolies of Knowledge in Canadian Communication Studies
This paper analyzes the reasons for the marginalization of feminist thought in the interdiscipline of communication studies and elucidates the potential contributions of this approach to social communication theorizing
Forging War
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
Media in Transition
Canadian Communication Studies
The four essays contained in this volume were all presented within days of each other either a t the 1987 Learneds or at the Montreal meetings of the Canadian Communication Association (CCA), the Association de recherches en communication du Quebec (ARCQ), or at the conference of the US based International Communications Association (ICA). The collective forum lent itself to a reconsideration of two questions occupying scholars for at least a dec…
The Media Revolution in America and Western Europe
This wide-ranging and informative volume has two purposes, according to its editors, (Intro XI). They are: To familiarize North American communication researchers with European work; and to further the intellectual merger of empirical and critical approaches to communication studies. While these are admirable goals, the volume contributes to the former, but it not as convincing in championing the latter. It seems safer to assume with Steven Chaff…

There are a few perfect settings still to be found in this world. They are the 'apples of gold in pictures of silver' of the Wise Man.Most golden things have quite another setting- like the jewel of gold in a pig's snout to which the same Wise Man likens the beauty of a foolish woman.A perfect picture in a perfect shrine, or a beautiful Cathedral in a beautiful City would find a fitting symbol in the first. For the second . . . . ! Quite lately w…
