Engaging debates within cultural studies, media and communication
studies, and critical theory, this book addresses whether Gramscian
thought continues to be relevant for social and cultural analysis,
in particular when examining times of crisis and social change. The
book is motivated by two intertwined but distinct purposes: first,
to show the privileged and fruitful link between a "Gramscian
Theory of Communication" and a "Communicative Theory of Gramsci;"
second, to explore the ways in which such a Gramscian perspective
can help us interpret and explain different forms of political
activism in the twenty-first century, such as "Occupy" in the US,
"Indignados" in Spain, or "Movimento Cinque Stelle" in Italy.
This book argues for an inherent connection between Critical
Discourse Studies and Communication Studies. The volume begins with
a comprehensive introduction that documents the shift towards
Critical Discourse Studies in the study of socio-discursive
phenomena, as well as its implications in terms of theories,
methodologies, and objects of study within and beyond
Communication. The diverse selection of case studies further
demonstrates the possibilities located at the intersection of
Communication and Critical Discourse Studies, ultimately providing
solid ground for a firmer cross-fertilization between the two. The
chapters as a whole provide an insightful state of the art of the
kinds of research that emerge when we consider the traversing
trajectories of Critical Discourse Studies and Communication,
advancing our understanding of self-reflexivity, journalism
production and social media, discourses of neurodiversity, the
environment, autism advocacy, and national memory. They also
provide promising emergent venues that speak to the value and the
need of interdisciplinary theory building. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the journal, Review of
Communication.
