Background: People cannot be an idea without also occupying a body and being the embodiment of competing expectations. For a person of colour (POC), contortions of self-erasure accompany these expectations, more so in semi- and non-urban academic and social spaces. Analysis: Using a social construct of invisibility, marginality as a minority communication scholar is discussed as magnified by geography, class, reproduce-ability (training graduate students who potentially join the field versus primarily undergraduate or career-minded students), among other precarities. Conclusion and Implications: Living at the geographic margins as a minority Canadian communication studies scholar requires constantly navigating present absences.

Background: This Research in Brief documents preliminary work toward a larger study entitled “Race and Canonicity in Canada: Communication Studies so White?” It was presented as part of a triple panel on “#CommunicationSoWhite: Canadian Style” at the 2021 annual meeting of the Canadian Communication Association. Analysis: Mobilizing this rationale earlier in the research stage ties its work to the discursive interventions in this issue. Conclusion and Implications: This preliminary work gets people thinking about how their syllabi might shake up staid structures.

The current conjuncture is marked by a multitude of global crises that include the COVID-19 pandemic;global warming;conflicts in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Palestine;growing global poverty and food scarcity;the exponential increase of forcibly displaced people;the escalating use of incarceration to manage migrants, including children;land conflicts with Indigenous peoples;and the persecution and genocide of religious, ethnic, and sexual minorities around the globe, from the Rohingya to the Uyghurs. In Canada, we nessed the of hundreds of unmarked graves of Indigenous children forced to attend residential schools;court rulings in favour of pipelines that violated the constitutional rights of Indigenous peoples;the global mobilization of Black Lives Matters;the escalation of anti-Asian racism;the heightened Islamophobia that resulted in the killing of members of the Afzaal Salman family;attacks on mosques and synagogues;and the ongoing criminalization, incarceration, and violent police murders of Black, Indigenous, and people of colour across the country. The recent occupation of Ottawa and other cities and towns highlights the rise of right-wing extremism that, along with the failure of the state to act swiftly to protect the rule of law, brings up the intersection of misogyny, racism, colonialism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and populism (Karim, 2000;Mirrlees, 2021;Neville & Langlois, 2021). Drawing on their experiences working with the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC) as scholar-activists, King and Odartey-Wellington argue that the canon of Canadian communications scholarship must be expanded to include Canada's history of colonialism and discrimination against ra- cialized people.

Background: This article revisits a 2008 complaint brought against the Canadian magazine Maclean’s for its publication of excerpts from Mark Steyn’s 2006 book America Alone, a complaint whose dismissal was seen as affirmation of the principle of freedom of speech. The authors refute this claim, invoking the moral principles that underpin free speech, interrogating the notion of an ideal speech situation and an equitable public sphere in a case that involves racism and unequal power relations, and commenting on the pressures placed upon academics and activists who seek to counter anti-Muslim discourse. This article is a co-written analysis that includes the personal recollections of one author who was involved in the case.

Background: This article is a response to #CommunicationSoWhite—Canadian style. It probes what articles about Black Canadians have been published in the Canadian Journal of Communication’s (CJC’s) history, and what has been the focus of these articles in terms of race, racism, and colonialism. Analysis: Using critical discourse analysis, this article examines language and voice in seven articles that focus on media representation of Blackness and/or Black visibility/invisibility. Conclusion and Implications: Over a 20-year period, the CJC’s corpus on Black Canadians changed. The articles moved from simplified or stereotypical representations of Black culture to giving agency and voice to a heterogeneity of Black experiences. This article asks readers to consider how and when Black Canada will move from the margins of Canadian communication studies to the centre.
背景:这篇文章是对# CommunicationSoWhite-Canadian风格的回应。它探讨了《加拿大传播杂志》(Canadian Journal of Communication, CJC)历史上发表过哪些关于加拿大黑人的文章，以及这些文章在种族、种族主义和殖民主义方面的关注点。分析:使用批判性话语分析，本文考察了七篇文章中的语言和声音，这些文章关注黑人和/或黑人可见性/不可见性的媒体表现。结论和启示:在20年的时间里，刑司委关于加拿大黑人的语料库发生了变化。这些文章从对黑人文化的简化或刻板的描述转变为对黑人经历的异质性给予代理和发言权。本文要求读者思考加拿大黑人将如何以及何时从加拿大传播研究的边缘走向中心。

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.
