ABSTRACT This study investigates how Canadian journalists view dark participation and respond to it. Based on interviews with 15 journalists, it explores their concern about dark participation practices especially in relation to the issues of hate speech, dis/misinformation, and trolling. Combined with the ripple effects of social media in delivering news content, the respondents indicated that there are multiple challenges and concerns when dealing with dark participation such as attacks on women and different minority groups which might threaten social cohesion. The majority of respondents highlighted the psychological toll of dark participation and ways of dealing with it.

ABSTRACT This study is based on an undergraduate course on intercultural conflict and community building, which was grounded in critical intercultural communication pedagogy (CICP) and included a two-day, over-night, off-campus retreat. Three themes were critically analyzed and problematized in student retreat reflection paper discourse: celebrating difference and plurality, emphasizing similarity over differences, and building community: tools and tensions. Students praised individuals’ pluralistic cultural identities and differences, described spaces of connection primarily through the identification of similarities, and described communication practices such as sharing culturally-based visions and narratives in community building and intercultural conflict management. Bringing together frameworks for critical reflexivity and critical communities within CICP, the conception of critical intercultural communities becomes an important way to define, orient, and teach intercultural communication, conflict and community building.
本研究以跨文化冲突和社区建设本科课程为基础,该课程以批判性跨文化交际教学法(CICP)为基础,包括为期两天的校外静修。在学生静修反思论文的论述中,对三个主题进行了批判性分析和质疑:庆祝差异和多元化,强调相似性而不是差异,以及建立社区:工具和紧张关系。学生们赞扬了个人的多元文化身份和差异,主要通过识别相似性来描述联系空间,并描述了交流实践,如在社区建设和跨文化冲突管理中分享基于文化的愿景和叙述。在CICP中,批判性反思和批判性社区的框架结合在一起,批判性跨文化社区的概念成为定义、定位和教授跨文化交流、冲突和社区建设的重要方式。

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has become a partisan political issue instead of purely a public health issue in the U.S. Partisan media bias leads to conflicting messages and drastic differences in preventive behaviors and risk perceptions between Democrats and Republicans. Guided by partisan media bias literature and framing theory, this study examined partisan media bias in the U.S. national and local newspapers regarding COVID-19 using computational methods. It visualized the trends of COVID-19 news articles published by left-leaning, least biased, and right-leaning media as well as revealed frames that were used in partisan media to report COVID-19. Findings demonstrated that partisan media covered certain COVID-19 frames more frequently than others. Even though left-leaning, least biased, and right-leaning media did not differ in the likelihood of publishing COVID-19 articles and they did not publish a significantly different number of COVID-19 articles, partisan media used each COVID-19 frame significantly differently. Specifically, least biased media was more likely than left-leaning media and right-leaning media to discuss the stay-at-home order. Other frames were not significantly differently applied by different partisan media. Implications for COVID-19 news reporting and message design as well as the lessons for politics and health policy are provided.
摘要新冠肺炎疫情已经成为美国的一个党派政治问题,而不是纯粹的公共卫生问题。党派媒体偏见导致民主党和共和党之间的信息冲突,预防行为和风险认知存在巨大差异。在党派媒体偏见文献和框架理论的指导下,本研究使用计算方法研究了美国国家和地方报纸对新冠肺炎的党派媒体偏见。它可视化了左翼、最少偏见和右翼媒体发表的新冠肺炎新闻文章的趋势,并揭示了党派媒体报道新冠肺炎时使用的框架。调查结果表明,党派媒体报道某些新冠肺炎框架的频率高于其他框架。尽管偏左、偏少和偏右的媒体发表新冠肺炎文章的可能性没有差异,他们发表的新冠肺炎文章数量也没有显著差异,但党派媒体对新冠肺炎框架的使用显着不同。具体而言,偏见最小的媒体比左倾媒体和右倾媒体更有可能讨论居家令。不同党派媒体对其他框架的应用没有显著差异。为新冠肺炎新闻报道和消息设计提供了启示,并为政治和卫生政策提供了经验教训。

ABSTRACT Providing home care to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can be challenging in the best of times. Communication and relationships, which are both critical to the care provided by Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), were impacted significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using interpretive research methods with DSPs at a Midwestern agency, this study identifies communication and relationship challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and strategies used to manage those challenges. COVID-19 protocols like masking, cleaning procedures, and cared-for individuals’ home confinement created significant relational challenges including misunderstandings, changing routines, and fluctuating roles. DSPs also discussed how those challenges were overcome, including communication adaptation, creativity, and empathy. By examining the strategies DSPs used to negotiate the challenges and their changing roles, insight can be gained into how organizations might best support direct care workers in times of significant stress and uncertainty. This study builds on the growing scholarship exploring the impact of COVID-19 on health care communication.
摘要在最好的情况下,为智力和发育障碍患者提供家庭护理可能是一项挑战。沟通和关系对直接支持专业人员(DSP)提供的护理至关重要,在新冠肺炎大流行期间受到了重大影响。本研究使用中西部机构DSP的解释性研究方法,确定了新冠肺炎大流行带来的沟通和关系挑战,以及用于管理这些挑战的策略。新冠肺炎协议,如口罩、清洁程序和个人家庭隔离护理,带来了重大的关系挑战,包括误解、日常生活的改变和角色的波动。DSP还讨论了如何克服这些挑战,包括沟通适应、创造力和同理心。通过研究DSP用于应对挑战的策略及其不断变化的角色,可以深入了解组织在面临重大压力和不确定性时如何最好地支持直接护理人员。这项研究建立在不断增长的奖学金基础上,探索新冠肺炎对医疗保健沟通的影响。

ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 pandemic, health experts emerged to deliver crisis messaging to a public that needed information to understand the nature of the mega-crisis and to know how to mitigate the risk of infection. Some of the public health experts were immigrants who drew attention to healthcare disparities in the U.S. and called for systemic reform of healthcare delivery. This study critically examines the health equity discourse of immigrant public health leaders (IPHLs). Employing a critical application of the IDEA Model of crisis messaging, the study interrogates how three IPHLs navigated and disrupted their stereotyped identities as “model minorities” who were medical experts and advocates of equitable healthcare.
摘要在新冠肺炎大流行期间,卫生专家涌现出来,向公众传递危机信息,这些信息需要了解特大危机的性质,并了解如何降低感染风险。一些公共卫生专家是移民,他们引起了人们对美国医疗保健差距的关注,并呼吁对医疗保健服务进行系统改革。本研究批判性地考察了移民公共卫生领导人(IPHLs)的健康公平话语。该研究采用了IDEA危机信息模型的关键应用,询问了三位IPHL是如何驾驭和打破他们作为医学专家和公平医疗倡导者的“模范少数群体”的刻板身份的。

Owning the Libs: Symbolic Negation of #mybodymychoice as a Conservative Rhetorical Strategy 拥有Libs:#mybodymychoice作为保守修辞策略的象征性否定
IF 1.6 Q2 COMMUNICATION Pub Date : 2023-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/10510974.2022.2163675

ABSTRACT The anti-vaccine movement’s appropriation of the reproductive rights mantra #MyBodyMyChoice has been remarkably successful despite overwhelming evidence in favor of vaccines and the historical precedent for vaccine requirements. I argue that this appropriation of #MyBodyMyChoice constitutes a symbolic negation which is indicative of a new conservative rhetorical strategy of Owning the Libs. This strategy emphasizes affective resonance over political reason and operates through three rhetorical moves. It first paints liberals as hypocrites while blaming them for conservatives’ own skepticism about the COVID-19 vaccine. It then elicits an affective response which manifests via right-wing arrogance and superiority on Twitter. Finally, it reconstitutes conservatives as the “true” patriots who are uniquely able to see through government corruption. This research speaks to a new form of right-wing advocacy that forefronts emotion and personal experience as the basis for group formation and sidesteps traditional political and deliberative norms.
摘要尽管有压倒性的证据支持疫苗以及疫苗要求的历史先例,但反疫苗运动对生殖权利口号#MyBodyMyChoice的挪用取得了显著成功。我认为,这种对#MyBodyMyChoice的挪用构成了一种象征性的否定,这表明了一种新的保守修辞策略“拥有自由”。这种策略强调情感共鸣而非政治理性,并通过三个修辞动作来运作。它首先把自由主义者描绘成伪君子,同时指责他们是保守主义者自己对新冠肺炎疫苗的怀疑。然后,它引发了一种情感反应,这种反应通过右翼在推特上的傲慢和优越感表现出来。最后,它将保守派重塑为“真正的”爱国者,他们独特地能够看穿政府腐败。这项研究谈到了一种新的右翼倡导形式,它将情感和个人经历作为群体形成的基础,并避开了传统的政治和审议规范。

ABSTRACT While vaporwave musicians create surreal soundscapes from under the cover of anonymity, they also engage in complex and humanizing identity work processes. We applied a communication theory of identity (CTI) lens to semi-structured interviews conducted with 18 self-identified vaporwave musicians. Grounded in the experiences of vaporwave musicians, our iterative qualitative analysis revealed that participants constantly contend with friction between personal, enacted, relational, and communal identities. This study’s contributions include extending CTI literature into a new realm of music subculture, suggesting new avenues for understanding identity within digital communities, and emphasizing the importance of lived participant experiences.
摘要蒸汽波音乐家在匿名的掩护下创造超现实的音景的同时,他们也参与了复杂而人性化的身份工作过程。我们将身份传播理论(CTI)镜头应用于对18名自称蒸汽波音乐家的半结构化采访。基于蒸汽波音乐家的经历,我们的迭代定性分析表明,参与者不断地与个人身份、制定身份、关系身份和公共身份之间的摩擦作斗争。这项研究的贡献包括将CTI文献扩展到音乐亚文化的新领域,为理解数字社区中的身份提出了新的途径,并强调了生活参与者体验的重要性。

A Scene from the Borderlands of Translation, Transcendence, and Communicability 翻译、超越与共有的境界
IF 1.6 Q2 COMMUNICATION Pub Date : 2022-12-23 DOI: 10.1080/10510974.2022.2159998

ABSTRACT This article presents an autoethnographic account of a scene that unfolds at the airport. In the scene, a practical problem is solved despite limitations in communication, and the scene plays out in front of a waiting area full of travelers. It centers around an elderly couple who are confused and disoriented in the midst of a predicament, and who are not fluent in English. A gate agent and another traveler who both speak Spanish help the couple manage the situation and find a solution, but there remains mystery and confusion when the scene ends. The account demonstrates communication as translation, transcendence, and communicability, showcasing the ability to bridge differences through communication and solve practical problems despite being inherently divided. It also occupies a space that can be considered borderlands, and overall offers a critical and reflexive cultural translation that reflects upon the way we perceive the other.
摘要本文介绍了一个在机场展开的场景的民族志描述。在这个场景中,尽管沟通受到限制,但一个实际问题还是得到了解决,这个场景在一个挤满了游客的等候区前上演。故事围绕着一对老年夫妇展开,他们在困境中感到困惑和迷失方向,英语也不流利。一名登机口特工和另一名都会说西班牙语的旅行者帮助这对夫妇处理情况并找到解决方案,但当场景结束时,仍然存在着神秘和困惑。该叙述将沟通展示为翻译、超越和可沟通,展示了通过沟通弥合分歧和解决实际问题的能力,尽管存在固有的分歧。它还占据了一个可以被视为边界的空间,总体上提供了一种批判性的、反射性的文化翻译,反映了我们感知他人的方式。

(Un)wanted and (Un)sought Services: Exploring the Funeral Industry Positivity and Rural Funeral Directors’ Destigmatization (不)要(不)求服务:殡葬业的积极性与农村殡葬负责人的去污名化探索

ABSTRACT This study explores the positive nature of the funeral industry in rural communities and examines how rural funeral directors perform community services to destigmatize their profession. Analysis of interviews (n = 27) with rural funeral directors revealed that the funeral industry, although it is associated with death and dying, was needed and accepted in the community – a phenomenon the article labels (un)wanted and (un)sought services. This construct challenges the denial of death thesis and supports the contingent and discursive nature of death and dying. Moreover, rural funeral directors offer life enrichment programs, support local businesses, work as partial civic servants, and participate in community governance. This study argues that these supportive performances reflect the communicative mechanism of destigmatization, reinforcing the needed and acceptable nature and diminishing the unwanted and unsought nature of the profession. Lastly, the study advocates that urban funeral homes learn from rural funeral homes regarding communal characteristics to make a more supportive and cohesive urban life.
摘要本研究探讨了农村社区殡葬业的积极性,并考察了农村殡葬主管如何开展社区服务,以消除其职业的污名化。对农村殡葬主管的采访分析(n=27)表明,殡葬业虽然与死亡和死亡有关,但在社区中是需要和接受的——这是文章所称的(联合国)想要和(联合国的)寻求服务的现象。这一结构挑战了否认死亡的理论,并支持死亡和死亡的偶然性和话语性。此外,农村殡葬主管提供丰富生活的项目,支持当地企业,担任部分公务员,并参与社区治理。本研究认为,这些支持性表现反映了去污名化的沟通机制,强化了职业的必要性和可接受性,减少了职业的不必要性和不可追求性。最后,本研究主张城市殡仪馆在社区特征方面向农村殡仪馆学习,以创造更具支持性和凝聚力的城市生活。

Analysis of interviews (n = 27) with rural funeral directors revealed that the funeral industry, although it is associated with death and dying, was needed and accepted in the community – a phenomenon the article labels (un)wanted and (un)sought services. This construct challenges the denial of death thesis and supports the contingent and discursive nature of death and dying. Moreover, rural funeral directors offer life enrichment programs, support local businesses, work as partial civic servants, and participate in community governance. This study argues that these supportive performances reflect the communicative mechanism of destigmatization, reinforcing the needed and acceptable nature and diminishing the unwanted and unsought nature of the profession. Lastly, the study advocates that urban funeral homes learn from rural funeral homes regarding communal characteristics to make a more supportive and cohesive urban life.","PeriodicalId":47080,"journal":{"name":"Communication Studies","volume":"73 1","pages":"511 - 526"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48732704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT To evaluate the foundational propositions of a nascent theory of relational entropy, this manuscript reports a longitudinal investigation of friendship across the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants included 165 members of Greek-letter organizations (both current students and alumni), with data collected in Spring 2020 and again in Spring 2021. Results indicated that relationships exhibited greater entropy and less maintenance in Spring 2021 than in Spring 2020, with Spring 2020 maintenance predicting less entropy in Spring 2021. Although the personal impact of the pandemic predicted increased maintenance in Spring 2020, the direction of this effect was reversed a year later. These findings support key propositions of the nascent theory and identify directions for future refinement of it.
摘要为了评估关系熵这一新生理论的基本命题,本文报道了新冠肺炎大流行第一年友谊的纵向调查。参与者包括165名希腊字母组织成员(包括在校学生和校友),数据分别在2020年春季和2021年春季收集。结果表明,与2020年春季相比,2021年春季的关系表现出更大的熵和更少的维持,2020年春季的维持预测2021年春季熵更少。尽管疫情对个人的影响预测2020年春季的维护会增加,但一年后这种影响的方向发生了逆转。这些发现支持了这一新生理论的关键命题,并为其未来的完善指明了方向。
