The CCC Editorial Collective: A statement on the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Communication, Culture & Critique (2025) 18 (1), 3-8.
Communication, Culture and Critique has been the leading venue for critical approaches to communication and media studies since its inauguration in 2008. In January 2025 a newly formed international and interdisciplinary Editorial Collective took over responsibilities. Their first issue combines a sharp protest with a programmatic editorial statement and an analysis of how technology provision for targeted killings and media censorship go together. The Editorial Collective sees as „the glaring epicenter of the prevailing global order’s efforts to reproduce itself: the State of Israel’s ongoing campaign of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and its gradual expansion into the West Bank.“ But it welcomes „critical anticolonial analysis of ethno-nationalist and extractive violence and opposition” from all scenes of these reproduction efforts, „including the Chinese state’s targeting of the Uighur minority; the Indian state’s occupation of Kashmir and ongoing dehumanization of Muslims and oppressed religious and caste communities; the Turkish state’s repression against the Kurds; the Ethiopian ethnic cleansing of Tigrayans, and so on.“
The statement, as an ↗ article of the journal, is now behind a paywall. While we are waiting for the Canadian website we are providing a pdf here:
