Hi there,
I wonder if you could post details of a journal special issue to the ICA's 'public channel" notice board? The special issue has its origins in an ICA pre-conference – see further details below.
Many thanks
Sean and Simon
ICA members might be interested in this just published special issue of the open-access journal Media Theory. It has its origins in a 2022 ICA Paris pre-conference which was supported by the Philosophy, Theory and Critique and Race and Ethnicity in Communication divisions and includes an afterword from Rita Felski.
The new issue of Media Theory (7.1, 2023) is now available: a special issue on 'Critique, Postcritique and the Present Conjuncture', edited and introduced by Sean Phelan, Simon Dawes and Pieter Maeseele.
The issue features essays by Alan Finlayson and François Cusset, with a response from Natalie Fenton; articles from Robert Porter & Iain MacKenzie, Jonjo Brady, Nicholas Holm, Irina Kalinka, Phoebe Braithwaite, Kelly Diaz & Adetobi Moses & Jing Wang & Guobin Yang, Eugenia Stamboliev, Göran Svensson, Mandy Tröger & Marlen van den Ecker, and Natalie Fenton & Des Freedman & Gholam Khiabany & Milly Williamson; as well as a discussion piece with Gavan Titley & Sahana Udupa & Éric Fassin & Diana Mulinari; and an afterword from Rita Felski.
The issue is available open access here: https://journalcontent.mediatheoryjournal.org/index.php/mt/issue/view/12
