Communicating Academic Knowledge Beyond the Written Academic Text : An Autoethnographic Analysis of the Mirror Palace of Democracy Installation Experiment
- 2020

Ingår i: International Journal of Communication. - : USC ANNENBERG PRESS. - 1932-8036. ; 14, s. 2120-2143

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article first discusses five approaches that aim to transcend, complement, or overturn the hegemony of the written academic text. These five approaches are (1) the cluster of science communication, science popularization, and knowledge dissemination; (2) the cluster of knowledge exchange, and participatory, transformative, and interventionist (action) research; (3) multimodal academic communication; (4) the cluster of visual anthropology and visual sociology; and (5) arts-based research. As each approach deals with (overcoming) the hegemony of the written academic text differently, the first part of the article details these approaches. In the second part, the Mirror Palace of Democracy installation experiment, which had the explicit objective of moving beyond the written academic text while still remaining in the realm of academic knowledge communication, is autoethnographically analyzed. The experiment allowed reflection on the integrated and iterative nature of academic communication, on the hybrid academic-artistic identity, and on the diversification of publics. Both the theoretical discussion on the five approaches and the Mirror Palace of Democracy installation are part of a call for more experimentation with, and theorization of, multimodal and/or arts-based academic communication.

Discourse-theoretical perspectives on class, populism and participation : An interview with Nico Carpentier
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Communications. Media. Design. - 2542-1395. ; :1, s. 201-221

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- An interview with Nico Carpentier, that took place in June 2019, at the Garage Institute of Moscow, during Carpentier’s visit to HSE-NRU. The interview starts with a series of issues related to the ontology of discourse theory, and the role of class in discourse theory. This is then connected with the issue of populism, which has been prominent in discourse-theory-related research. In a second part, the role of participation, in particular in the media, is discussed, with attention for recent positive developments, connected to the logics of decentralization. Part of the argument here is that participation has a normative dimension. The discussion then returns to discourse theory, with discussions on the limits of contingency, the translation of discourse theory into methodology, and the resistance against post-structuralist theory.

Putting a Non-Essentialist Ontology to Work : A Response to Peter Dahlgren’s Review of the Discursive-Material Knot: Cyprus in Conflict and Community Media Participation

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article is a response to Peter Dahlgren’s review of The discursive-material knot: Cyprus in conflict and community media participation. Dahlgren’s engagement with the DMK book consisted of four questions, with an invitation to respond to them. These questions were not so much critiques, but more like invitations to clarify, and – more importantly – to expand into a few territories that were insufficiently addressed in the DMK book. This article starts with explaining the platform structure of the DMK book and the strategy that was used to write it. This then allows to focus on the first platform, explaining the basics of the DMK, the supporting role of the structure/agency dimension, and the difference between the concepts of ideology and discourse. This is also a good opportunity to think through the opportunities for (hegemonic) discourse critique. In the next part, the issues related to high theory, ontology and metaphysics are addressed. The last part returns to the DMK book’s case study and the interdependence of the different platforms, arguing that empirical research can also feed into non-essentialist ontological reflections, while these reflections also provide support for the research itself.

The Militarization of a Public Debate : A Discourse-Theoretical Analysis of the Construction of War and Peace in Public Debates Surrounding the Books of Three Turkish Military Commanders on the “1974 Cyprus Peace Operation”
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Revista de Comunicação Dialógica. - : Universidade de Estado do Rio de Janeiro. - 2674-9246. ; :3, s. 107-139
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses on a particular type of public debates, namely those that are related to war, and that thus have the potential to disrupt and damage democracy. More specifically, using Laclau and Mouffe’s (1985) discourse theory, we analyse the construction of war and peace in the public debates surrounding the books of three Turkish military commanders who fought in the Cypriot 1974 war, and who wrote books to document their experiences: Muzaffer Sever (2012), Ali İhsan Gürcan (2013) and Haluk Üstügen (2015). In this article, we first organise an extensive discourse-theoretical re-reading of the literature on war and peace, which supports the construction of a theoretical model of war and peace discourses. While war discourses arguably have five nodal points (Enemy-Self dichotomy; army as war assemblage; destruction and death; legitimations and aims of war; spatially and temporally restricted arena of intensified reality), we distinguish between two types of peace discourses: the photo-negativistic articulation of peace and the autonomous articulation of peace. The former’s nodal points are the inverse of those of the war discourse, while the latter’s nodal points are social harmony, economic equity and social justice; and the desire for, and the desirability of, peace. This theoretical model is then deployed to structure a discourse-theoretical analysis of the public debates surrounding the three books. Here we firstly show the dominance of the war discourse (and its nodal points), which raises questions about the democratic desirability of these types of public debates. Secondly, our analysis also shows two significant nuances to this critical evaluation, as the public debates also provide space for dislocations of the war discourse and contain references to peace discourses (even though these are limited and often qualified).

The Construction of the Professional Identity of the TV News Presenter in Two Chinese News Programmes : A Discourse-Theoretical Analysis
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This PhD research project investigates how the professional identity of the Chinese TV news presenter is constructed in two news programmes, Guangdong News and TVS News, both based at Guangdong TV. The overarching theoretical framework of the project takes its inspiration from Laclau and Mouffe's (1985) post-structuralist discourse theory (DT). Drawing upon the DT ontological perspective in particular, the professional identity of the TV news presenter – labelled the subject position in DT – is seen to be discursively constructed, obtaining its meaning through the articulatory practice of nodal points.The study is set within the dual contexts of societal transformations of China, and its changing media industry. This research argues that the TV news presenter's professional identity is a discourse, constructed through the articulation of four particular nodal points, in the discursive field of Chinese news production. These nodal points are: 1) mastering professional knowledge; 2) holding journalistic values; 3) being a storyteller; and 4) being a Party’s ideologist. After analysing these four nodal points, the research then addresses their specificity, contingency, and complexity, and provides a normative evaluation of these four nodal points and their articulations into a discourse.Methodologically, the research adopts a qualitative approach through discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA, Carpentier and De Cleen, 2007). This approach is implemented through the empirical case study of the two TV news programmes (Guangdong News and TVS News) in a southern Chinese news centre, Guangdong TV. The collection and analysis of the research corpus involves two parts: The first part of the corpus consists of a one-year systematic sample of 50 news episodes from the two news programmes. The second part of the corpus results from ethnographic fieldwork (participant observations and in-depth interviews) in the Guangdong TV newsroom. The entire data analysis is driven by the use of DTA, which is supported by the procedures of qualitative content analysis and ethnographic analysis. The case study on the articulatory practice of the presenter’s subject position provides insights into the complexities of identity construction, but also allows reflection on the bigger picture of the societal positioning of the news industry in contemporary China.
