‘The censor’s ellipsis’ in printed books of the time of religious reform in 15th–16th century England
In this study devoted to book censorship in the time of Henry VIII the author tries to supplement general knowledge about political censorship by analyzing its forms, methods, and aims characteristic of a specific historical period and situation. A combination of linguistic (syntactic, grammatical), contextual and bibliographical approaches is used to show the interrelation between political agenda, text semantics, language and text structure, an…
Introduction
Weaving intimacies
This special forum was convened to honor the memory of Dr. Daniel C. Brouwer, who died in May 2021. Each contribution is coauthored to specifically honor his commitments to collaboration as a key form of scholarly inquiry, co-mentoring, ethical relationships, and community building. Each essay focuses on an aspect of Brouwer's scholarship, exploring topical, methodological, and theoretical interventions to generate insights and reflections for th…
Casus belli. Ivan the Third’s Declaration of War to Aleksander Jagiellończyk, June 24th, 1500
The paper presents a missive from the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III declaring war to the Grand Duke of Lithuania Aleksander Jagiellończyk on June the 24th, 1500. The missive, so far unaccounted in scientific publications, survives in a Middle Low German translation kept in the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. The declaration of war is motivated by alleged injustices done to Ivan III, to his subjects and to his daughter Elena Ivanovna, who…
Remembering in the Second Shift
they want me to remember their memories and I keep on remembering mine. —Lucille Clifton1My essay is composed of five memories and a reflection. These memories illustrate my experience of the second shift, and echoes those of many other Black women in Communication Studies (see #BlackInTheIvory and #CommunicationSoWhite2): the misogynoir working twice as hard to earn half as much.3 My essay is in the form of memories, told as stories, because my …

The Color of Money or How to Redesign a “Monument in Your Pocket”
In 2016, the Treasury Department announced that the redesigned $20 bill would feature Harriet Tubman on its front, sparking jubilation from women activists who had campaigned for female representation on paper currency, which leaders referred to as a “monument in your pocket.” But the redesign also brought sharp rebukes from white conservatives, including Republican presidential candidates, who accused the Treasury of capitulating to “political c…
Who are we working for? Recentering black feminism

The Post-Racial Mystique
Despite claims from pundits and politicians that we now live in a post-racial America, people seem to keep finding ways to talk about race—from celebrations of the inauguration of the first Black president to resurgent debates about police profiling, race and racism remain salient features of our world. When faced with fervent anti-immigration sentiments, record incarceration rates of Blacks and Latinos, and deepening socio-economic disparities, …
Race/Ethnicity in Media History
Media historians and scholars who utilize historical comparison in their work have drawn upon critical race theory to guide their interrogations of the past, and have structured important, complex renderings of media histories that debunk simple timeline and “great individual” approaches to historical inquiry. Attending to race/ethnicity in historical inquiry enriches scholarship, regardless of whether the subject is explicitly recognized as part…
Coloring in the Bubble
Historically, people of color have turned to alternative "ethnic" media to fill in gaps in the record presented by dominant media. However, it is necessary to assess whether these alternative media provide sufficient counternarratives. Such an assessment is even more important now, as media consolidation and multicultural marketing present new opportunities for and pressures on ethnic media, often under the sign of neoliberal and "postracial" pro…
We Are What We Pretend to Be
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, currently a member of the African National Congress's National Executive Committee, is most widely known as the former wife of Nelson Mandela. While she continues to be a popular politician in South Africa, she has essentially disappeared from the U.S. imagination. A rhetorical analysis of the U.S. popular press about Winnie Mandela reveals that although she was primarily seen as Mother of the Nation in South Africa, in…
What Is This “Post-” in Postracial, Postfeminist… (Fill in the Blank)
The events of the 2008 election continue to spark prognostications that we live in a world that is postracial/feminist, and so on. At the 2009 NCA (National Communication Association) convention, a panel of communication scholars discussed how to approach questions of identity and communication over the next 5 years. Participants suggested ways to be critical of assertions of “post” and elaborated ways to encounter new dimensions of identificatio…
Reducing Race
This article presents a content analysis exploring how racial issues were addressed in newspaper and news magazine coverage of the 2008 Democratic primaries. Despite the presence of Latino and biracial candidates, discussion of race was limited by binary racial frames, resulting in the construction of racial groups as competing voting blocs (including frequent references to white voters) and few references to Barack Obama’s biracial heritage. The…

Re-framing the National Family
SINCE THE INCREASED VISIBILITY of the movement during debates over racial categorization for Census 2000, discourses concerning interracial relationships and individuals have multiplied. Images and stories about celebrities, such as Tiger Woods and Halle Berry, best-selling Oprah book picks, such as Slaves in the Family; and statistics on rising interracial marriage rates provide mainstream media with regular opportunities to discuss identity.

Rethinking the Black Public Sphere
Many theorists propose that there are multiple, coexisting “subaltern” counterpublic spheres. However, most discussions of these subaltern counterpublics rely on group identity markers to differentiate between these spheres and do not provide alternative means for distinguishing between subaltern public spheres. This essay presents an alternative vocabulary for multiple public spheres through an exploration of the history of the African American …

Black Talk Radio
This article presents research concerning the relationship between media and public spheres through an investigation of an African-American-owned and -operated talk-radio station in Chicago. The article concludes that, contrary to some scholars' pessimistic view of commercial media's role in the decline of the public sphere, the radio station portrayed here is an integral and useful institution for the Black public sphere in Chicago. The study re…
