Communication, Culture, and Critique (CCC)

A journal of the International Communication Association, Communication, Culture and Critique (CCC) published its first issue in March 2008. Inaugural editor Karen Ross imagined CCC would develop into an outlet for critical scholars “working at the cutting edge of their particular subfields, undertaking research that nudges the boundaries of what we think we know, [and] a journal that promotes scholarship which might contribute to a better understanding of our increasingly complex and complicated world” (Issue 1.1, p. 1). Under Melissa Click’s editorship over the last four years, CCC has become more representative of historically marginalized communities and more international, while flourishing as a space for rigorous and impactful scholarship. Building on this tradition, the current editor, Paula Chakravartty, has formed a new Editorial Collective of interdisciplinary scholars to work collaboratively towards developing politically-engaged thematic issues. We are committed to feminist praxis and scholarship that substantively addresses the material, colonial, and racial lineages of modern capitalist media, culture and information infrastructures. We have a capacious understanding of Communication as a field and recognize that, especially outside the context of the Global North academy, such disciplinary boundaries may be less meaningful. CCC’s Editorial Collective welcomes contributions from adjacent fields that approach questions of media, culture and technology with a critical orientation. The journal continues to feature scholarship from communication, media studies, cultural studies and science and technology studies with orientations towards political economy; critical race theory, Black studies, Indigenous studies and critical ethnic studies; feminist, queer and trans studies; postcolonial, decolonial and anticolonial theory and praxis; and other fields of critical inquiry engaging with questions of power.
