How journalism forgets: On the journalistic representation of colonial biopower in Greenland
This article presents a postcolonial and feminist analysis of 44 newspaper articles published between 1965 and 2022 about “the coil campaign” in Greenland, which fitted Greenlandic Inuit women with the IUD in the 1960s and 1970s, at times without their knowledge or consent. Using a media archive search and conducting a discursive analysis, we explore how journalistic reporting and debates enabled a discourse of colonial virtues and modernization …
Postcolonial Publics: Art and Citizen Media in Europe
Postcolonial Publics: Art and Citizen Media in Europe presents a collection of sixteen chapters that explore the themes of how migrants, refugees and citizens express and share their political and social causes and experiences through art and media. These expressions, which we term ‘citizen media’, arguably become a platform for postcolonial intellectuals as the studies pursued in this volume investigate the different ways in which previously exc…
The Boy, Who Wanted Broccoli: Alternative News and Acts of Citizenship within New Mediascapes
This article explores how acts of citizenship are negotiated across populist, political, and networked mediascapes. This is done through a discursive analysis of rights-claims originating in a YouTube video depicting a young boy, who is denied broccoli at a refugee detainment and repatriation centre in Denmark. Besides the video the data consists of digital views and comments, texts sourced from citizen media publications, social media sites, dig…
The Practices and Positionings of a Postcolonial Counterpublic: An Analysis of Black Lives Matter in Denmark
Drawing on postcolonial critique to analyze the work and political purpose of activist groups on social media, this article asks the question: How do digital media communications simultaneously reinstate binary oppositions and invite rhizomatic relations? While the concept of counterpublics is helpful when it comes to understanding the voices of opposition in public discourse, it is also necessary to introduce postcolonial critique and geopolitic…

Postcolonial studies and citizen media
Although there has been no explicit scholarly or artistic relationship between citizen media and postcolonial studies so far, this entry will demonstrate that an implicit dialogue between the two fields operates on several levels, including the level of critiquing power, practices and ambiguities in the context of potential commercialization and cooptation. Postcolonial studies is primarily concerned with issues of knowledge production and the po…
On political street art as expressions of citizen media in revolutionary Egypt
This article traces the intersecting and interstitial spaces of political aesthetics in political street art featuring key activists of the Egyptian uprising of 2011–13 as well as the following struggle. We argue that the complex political expressions displayed in the images as recontextualized and embodied afford the images different roles in citizens’ political and social struggles. We develop three modalities of political street art – emplacem…

Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice: Postcolonial Archives and Embodied Political Acts of New Media
Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice provides a conceptualization of citizen journalism as a political practice developed through analyses of an historical and postcolonial case. Arguing that citizen journalism is first and foremost situated, embodied and political rather than networked and technology-based, the book offers a grounded analysis of the colonial newspaper, The Herald, published in St. Croix (Virgin Islands) 1915-25 by a descend…
Citizen Journalism As Conceptual Practice: Postcolonial Archives and Embodied Political Acts of New Media
Networking the political: On the dynamic interrelations that create publics in the digital age
This article argues that the definition of the political and its role in on- and offline public spheres calls for a conceptualization that takes into account the networked connections established between lay and professional political actors, mass media and mobile media. While acknowledging the importance of popular and mass media’s impact on participatory and democratic processes, this article focuses on the cultural citizen and proposes that a …
Cosmopolitan relations in the colonies: Redefining citizen journalism through a cultural historical reading of The Herald , St. Croix 1915–1925
This article tells the story of how the journalistic practices of David Hamilton Jackson (1884–1946), a local of St. Croix, in the newspaper The Herald (1915–1925) produced cultural and cosmopolitan bridges in (post)colonial times and how these connections were built on cultural and journalistic practices rather than on technological advancements. Based on a critical, discursive reading of The Herald, the article argues that despite the dominant …

Special Issue: The ethics of images
Post-human viewing: A Discussion of the Ethics of Mobile Phone Imagery
This article discusses the relationship between theories of photography and mobile phone footage. In doing so, it asks if theories of photography still apply in a technologically saturated world of imagery. Technology is an increasingly important part of viewing imagery today and enables imagery to become part of a global cultural flow, thus calling into question the physical connection between viewer and image. This article analyses what happens…
Shifting boundaries: Objectivity, citizen journalism and tomorrow’s journalists

The article discusses the process and ongoing struggle within journalistic practice of keeping up the idea as well as the practice of journalistic objectivity. Working on from Schudson (2003), Schudson and A…
Situated, Embodied and Political: Expressions of citizen journalism
This article brings together theories of journalistic objectivity and affectivity in order to discuss their relevance in light of the emergence of citizen journalism. The claim of subjectivity and bias in citizen journalism is discussed and an idea of journalistic subjectivity as affectivity is developed. The article discusses ways in which professional journalism is positioned in relation to engaging subjectivity of citizen journalism—as converg…
In the name of Europe
Though that [imperial and colonial] history remains marginal and largely unacknowledged, surfacing only in the service of nostalgia and melancholia, it represents a store of unlikely connections and complex interpretative resources.The imperial and colonial past continues to shape political life in the overdeveloped-but-no-longer-imperial countries.(Gilroy, 2004, p. 2) 'Europe' in a sense is a phantom of the past, a name that 'is history' rather …
Workings of whiteness: Interview with Vron Ware
In this edited interview, Vron Ware talks honestly about the political inspiration and personal engagement that flows through her entire body of work. From Beyond the Pale (1992) which introduced a new and challenging approach to the intersecting discussions on feminism and anti-racism, to Out of Whiteness (2001) which was written with sociologist Les Back and critiqued what the field of critical whiteness studies had become, to Ware's latest wor…
Whose freedom? Whose memories? Commemorating Danish colonialism in St. Croix
The article addresses the issues of cultural and archival historical representations as they are presented in Danish journalism about historical events taking place in the former colonies of Denmark, the current United States' Virgin Islands (USVI). The (post)colonial relationship between Denmark and USVI has been overlooked by Danish and 'western'-based scholars for quite some time. The article presents the case of a journalistically represented…
