Background: This article explores the “scientific blackpill,” used by those in contemporary digital incel communities to describe living as involuntarily celibate. To take the scientific blackpill is to both see and develop a rigid social hierarchy that attempts to explains the incel’s sexual and social lacks. Analysis: Through a discourse analysis of the largest web forum for self-identified “incels,” this article finds that the “scientific blackpill” acts as a Foucauldian “technology of the self,” designed to both explain and reverse the incel’s perceived social oppressions. Conclusion and implications: Designed in an attempt to emulate the objectifying behaviour of masculinity under neoliberalism, the blackpill legitimates the very social behaviours that devalue the incel’s social existence.

Background: The conspiracy community known as QAnon rose to prominence in the mainstream media over the last several years. To curb its spread, social media platforms have blocked QAnon-related activity. Analysis: This article demonstrates why QAnon cannot be addressed as a problem of information. Instead, it argues in favour of an ecological approach, which highlights the forces that make people vulnerable to QAnon-related conspiracies and other types of misinformation. Conclusion and implications: This article demonstrates why QAnon cannot be addressed as a problem of information. Instead, it argues in favour of an ecological approach.

Background: Newspaper op-eds are an underexplored mode of communication that frame social, cultural, and political issues. Analysis: This article uses an unsupervised machine-learning approach called structural topic modelling to map changes in the content of a corpus of Canadian newspaper op-eds on freedom of information (FOI) law spanning a 20-year period. This makes it possible to investigate changes in the content of newspaper op-eds over time and to decipher trends in the kinds of topics that national, regional, and local newspapers publish. Conclusion and implications: Computational approaches to analyzing news texts are used, and recommendations are offered for future research on FOI and political communications.

Le Guide de visionnement critique des médias d’Ina Motoi s’ouvre sur cette question : « Vivons-nous dans un monde où le temps passé devant les écrans peut facilement dépasser, pour de plus en plus d’individus, le temps écoulé sans écrans ? » (p. 1). Selon la professeure en travail social au Département de développement humain et social à l’Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, les individus passent de plus en plus de temps à utiliser des plateformes médiatiques. Ce phénomène tend à s’amplifier, notamment avec la crise sanitaire de 2020-2022 qui contraint une grande partie de la population à travailler, à se divertir et à communiquer avec ses proches à l’aide d’écrans. Cette surexposition médiatique ne serait pas, selon l’auteure, sans impact sur les individus.
ina Motoi的《媒体评论指南》以这样一个问题开始:“我们是否生活在这样一个世界里:对越来越多的人来说，花在屏幕前的时间很容易超过没有屏幕的时间?”根据universite du quebec en abitibi - temiscamingue人类和社会发展部社会工作教授的说法，人们花在媒体平台上的时间越来越多。这一现象有增加的趋势，特别是随着2020-2022年的健康危机，这迫使很大一部分人口工作、娱乐和通过屏幕与家人交流。根据作者的说法，这种媒体过度曝光对个人并非没有影响。

Background: The failure of Sidewalk Labs’ smart city initiative in Toronto provides insight into the imperatives and contradictions of platform capitalism. Analysis: A political economy analysis reveals why this Alphabet subsidiary sought to expand the project beyond the parameters of the initial plan, stepping into a vacuum created by neoliberal forms of governance. Ultimately, the company’s expansionism resulted in a political backlash that scuttled the plan. Conclusion and implications: This case study highlights the political contradictions of platform capitalism, emphasizing the diversification of corporate strategies characterized by the extraction of data, enclosure of platforms, and accumulation of rentier profits.

Background: Political environments shaped by ascendant populism and growing anxieties over globalization have been compared to the early twentieth century, including concerns about the power of state-sponsored propaganda. The revisiting of propaganda analysis as a tool for analyzing government campaigns is thus warranted. Analysis: This article applies propaganda analysis to populist Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Federal Carbon Tax Transparency Act. Canadian journalism’s response is then measured through a comparative frequency analysis alongside the premier’s sensationalized “buck-a-beer” campaign. Conclusion and implications: The applicability of a reinstated propaganda analysis is solidified in the current Canadian context, and journalism prioritizing profit over democracy is discussed.
