As It Is
An “American lifestyle” was understood by some prominent voices in the Polish People’s Republic as a possible, and even a likely, future for their compatriots. The West supplied compelling images of material affluence and technologically driven modernity which were accepted, though not without question, as prospects for all modern societies, even those which declared their ideological objection to capitalism. A number of neo-avant-garde Polish ar…
Introduction. Visual Ethics after Communism
This special issue problematizes the often-uncritical use of images in publications and displays about communism. It poses a number of questions for anthropologists, historians, museologists and others: when does an image or a museum display present itself as problematic and for whom? Under what circumstances is it ethically justifiable to exhibit or publish such images or, conversely, to put images aside, leaving them undisplayed? When do argume…
How to Look Natural in Photos
In this interview with the authors of How to Look Natural In Photos, a 2021 photobook featuring images from archives containing secret police records from Poland before 1989, Beata Bartecka and Łukasz Rusznica outline their approach to the republication of this material. They reflect on the nature of images which represent violence or trauma alongside the seemingly banal photographs of mundane scenes and objects recorded by the security forces, a…
Communication in History
Updated in a new 6th edition, Communication in History reveals how media has been influential in both maintaining social order and as powerful agents of change. With revised new readings, this anthology continues to be, as one reviewer wrote, "the only book in the sea of History of Mass Communication books that introduces readers to a more expansive, intellectually enlivening study of the relationship between human history and communication histo…
Memory in Pieces
Memory in Pieces: The Symbolism of the Ruin in Warsaw after 1944 In this essay I explore the political symbolism of the ruin in the Polish capital from 1944 to the present. The question of what a war ruin might represent was deeply problematic for the communist authorities, not least because fragments of buildings and streets could be used to remember prohibited and unsanctioned aspects of Warsaw's history. Viewed in this light, the reconstructio…
Pleasures in Socialism
Seeing Japan, Imagining Poland
Socialist Spaces
What were Socialist Spaces? The Eastern Bloc produced distinctive spaces, some of which were fashioned from ideological templates, such as the monumental parade grounds and Red Squares where communist leaders could receive tributes, or new factory cities with towering chimneys and glittering palaces of culture. But what of the grimy toilet in the communal apartment or the forlorn ruins left after the Second World War? This book explores the repre…
Where Are We Now? Contours of the Internet in Canada
The rise of a global Internet poses a diversity of opportunities and challenges for Canadians. Predictably it also elicits rhetorical excess: that the Net will annihilate the barriers of geography and historical circumstance, or that the Net’s borderless architecture manifestly plays into the hands of global actors; that the messaging capabilities of new media will make the Internet a seamless part of enhanced social life, or that it marks the ri…
A Strange Nostalgia
Communication Theory Today
Doing Things Electronically
There is a tradition of inquiry in Canada focused on the wider questions of technology and society. This set of themes may again be relevant as we are drawn away from the form of monopoly practices associated with mass media and we begin to deal with the resurgence of social and technological activity centred around contemporary transformations of the book, the newspaper, and the broadcast. More often than not, the instrument of this challenge is…
