[Commlist] Published: Urban communication forum in Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies

Giorgia Aiello is pleased to announce the publication of a special forum 
I guest edited for the NCA journal /Communication and Critical/Cultural 
Studies/ on "(De)centring Europe in Urban Communication Research": 
https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rccc20/18/4?nav=tocList 
<https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rccc20/18/4?nav=tocList>

The forum includes six contributions by scholars affiliated with the 
European Communication Research and Education (ECREA) “Media, Cities and 
Space” Section. It focuses on “European” urban communication research as 
a way to explore what matters, both critically and theoretically, in 
media and communication studies of the urban. As a whole, the forum aims 
to “decentre” existing assumptions regarding the urban locales, critical 
questions, and conceptual outlooks covered in each contribution-both 
from pre-constituted notions of “Europeanness” and from dominant 
approaches to the relationship between communication, media, and the urban.

Here you can find the introduction I wrote for this collection:
