The International History of Communication Study maps the growth of
media and communication studies around the world. Drawing out
transnational flows of ideas, institutions, publications, and
people, it offers the most comprehensive picture to date of the
global history of communication research and education. This volume
reaches into national and regional areas that have not received
much attention in the scholarship until now, including Asia, Latin
America, Africa, and the Middle East alongside Europe and North
America. It also covers communication study outside of academic
settings: in international organizations like UNESCO, and among
commercial and civic groups. It moves beyond the traditional canon
to cover work by forgotten figures, including women scholars in the
field and those outside of the United States and Europe, and it
situates them all within the broader geopolitical, institutional,
and intellectual landscapes that have shaped communication study
globally. Intended for scholars and graduate students in
communication, media studies, and journalism, this volume pushes
the history of communication study in new directions by taking an
aggressively international and comparative perspective on the
historiography of the field. Methodologically and conceptually, the
volume breaks new ground in bringing comparative, transnational,
and global frames to bear, and puts under the spotlight what has
heretofore only lingered in the penumbra of the history of
communication study.

«Strictly speaking, James Carey wrote, «there is no history of mass
communication research. This volume is a long-overdue response to
Carey's comment about the field's ignorance of its own past. The
collection includes essays of historiographical self-scrutiny, as
well as new histories that trace the field's institutional
evolution and cross-pollination with other academic disciplines.
The volume treats the remembered past of mass communication
research as crucial terrain where boundaries are marked off and
futures plotted. The collection, intended for scholars and advanced
graduate students, is an essential compass for the field.
Larry Gross is one of the most influential figures in the history
of media studies. In this collection of original essays, his former
students reflect on his groundbreaking contributions to three major
developments: the emergence of visual studies as a distinct field
of media theory and research; the analysis of media fiction as a
symbol of power structures and a perpetuator of social
inequalities; and the growing scholarly attention to the
relationships between mass media and sexual minorities.
Pierre Bourdieu's ideas have had a major impact on a number of
fields of inquiry. As scholars of media and communication begin to
think more frequently and more carefully with Bourdieu's ideas,
this book offers a wealth of points of contact between Bourdieu's
ideas and research topics concerning media and communication. This
book addresses how Bourdieu's ideas can be used to raise questions
concerning: media production, media audiences, symbolic authority,
and the history of communication study. The result is a compact but
comprehensive volume that gives the reader a sense of the scope and
relevance of Bourdieu's ideas to a wide range of domains of study
in communication research.
This volume examines the role of history in the study of new media
and of newness itself, discussing how the 'new' in new media must
be understood to be historically constructed. Furthermore, the new
is constructed with an eye on the future, or more correctly, an eye
on what we think the future will be. Chapters by eminent scholars
address the connection between historical consideration and new
media. Some assess the historical descriptions of the development
of new media; others hinge on the issue of newness as it relates to
existing practices in media history. Remaining essays address the
shifting patterns of storage at work in media inscription, as they
relate to the practice of history, and to the past and contemporary
cultural formations. Together they offer a ground-breaking
assessment of the long history of new media, clearly recognizing
that the new media of today will be the traditional media of
tomorrow, and that an emphasis on the history of the future sheds
light on what this newness can be said to represent.
Communicating Memory & History takes as its mission the job of
giving communication history its full due in the study of memory.
Taking three keywords-communication, history, and
memory-representing related, albeit at times hostile, fields of
inquiry as its point of departure, this book asks how the
interdisciplinary field of memory studies can be productively
expanded through the work of communication historians. Across the
chapters of this book, contributors employ methods ranging from
textual analysis to reception studies to prompt larger questions
about how the past can be alternately understood, contested, and
circulated. Communicating Memory & History is ideal for
teaching, including case studies that elaborate different ways to
approach issues in memory studies. While some foundational
knowledge would be useful, it is possible to use the text without
extensive knowledge of the literature. This book is of particular
interest to professors, graduate students, and advanced
undergraduate students of communication and media studies, as well
as scholars and students in cultural studies, history, and
sociology-disciplines where one finds steady consideration of
issues related to communication, communication history, and memory.
