Defining displaced publics
Public sphere scholarship has addressed the concept of “diaspora” in recent decades, thereby highlighting the fluidity of public movements and formations. However, in doing so, it often reinforces a false binary between movement and stasis. This article examines how assumptions about fixed territorial borders and mobility constrain more pluralistic understandings of how publics relate to space, time, and community, and asks how public formations …
News Inside: What Mainstream Journalism Can Learn From the Radical Humanism of Prison Journalism
What might we learn from mainstream journalism’s unfree counterpart in prison journalism? This research centers The Marshall Project’s News Inside , not as an antidote to the unfreedom of prison life, but as a space of significant (if censored) expression and collaboration between free and incarcerated persons. News Inside marks an alternative to the commercial-driven logics of the mainstream press, raising questions about normative notions of jo…
The symbiotic relationship between Volodymyr Zelensky and Western news: Authenticity and performance in Ukraine’s fight against Russia
A close reading of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s self-produced social media content alongside Western news outlets’ profiles of Zelensky from the first months of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 illuminates a symbiotic relationship of drama-making that is mutually beneficial for Zelensky’s military and the West’s journalistic interests. Performing as a scrappy underdog turned brilliant military mind, Zelensky provides the Wester…
Seen to be grieved: Queen Elizabeth II’s death and the unsettlement of the modern media event
With millions of viewers across the globe over more than 10 days’ time, media coverage of Queen Elizabeth II’s death appears to constitute a “media event” in the sense of its popularization by Dayan and Katz in 1992. But it also ignited an immediate synchronized effort at counter narration that criticized the Queen’s tenure and the institution of the British monarchy. Employing critical discourse and conjunctural analysis, I argue that the Queen’…
Race against time: “9/11: One Day in America” and the amnesia of America’s archive
I engage in a discourse analysis of National Geographic’s docuseries “9/11: One Day in America” to argue that the series’ multi-layered effort at commemoration, geared as a long-awaited “full” telling of the 9/11 story, but committed to honoring a specific group of victims and survivors, is enabled by a disorienting temporality that raises questions about the role of national memorials and archives at this moment. Temporality is essential to the …
