What Audience, What Labour? A Review of the 2015 Dallas Smythe Memorial Lecture by Oscar Gandy
Get PDFIn Dallas Smythe’s old stomping grounds of Simon Fraser University, Dr. Oscar Gandy delivered the 2015 Dallas Smythe Memorial lecture. Arguing that inequality deserves state action, he linked financial inequality to capabilities and then to inequalities in political capital. He proposed this problem can be solved by linking the interests of those who are benefiting from the current system to those who are being marginalized by it. This can be done by framing messages to elites with the intention of making political use of their labour as audiences. While political audience labour is an important take away, it is difficult to divorce his understanding of how it can be exploited from his presentation of inequality as a domestic American problem rather than a global problem in this lecture. Additionally, while Dr. Gandy’s definition of framing includes presenting solutions, he did not specifically address how the wealthy might react to understanding their interests as connected to the marginalized; ignoring current efforts of philanthropy and the rise of corporate social responsibility
Engaging the Worlds of Gender, Security and Culture Change: A review of SFU-CUC Global Communication Program 2015 Capstone Presentations
No full textSimon Fraser University’s motto is “Engage the Worldâ€. Few events are a better platform to see how this concept is put into action than at the year-end capstone presentations of SFU and the Communication University of China’s joint Double MA Degree program in Global Communication. This year’s presentations were conducted by the program’s second cohort of students who, having submitted their work to the library, are now beginning their second and final year in China. The vast array of places, issues and concepts touched upon in their collective work identifies how ‘the global’ is more than just geography in the way that communication is more than just what is said. These critical investigations hint at the ways in which the students move past merely engaging academic audiences by focusing on addressing the needs of the many communities that form our global village
