[Commlist] New TMG Journal Special Issue: Re/Presenting Europe and Europeans in Twentieth Century Media

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new issue of TMG - 
Journal for Media History. This special issue critically examines how 
historical practices of racialisation structured representations of 
Europe, Europeanness, and belonging in twentieth-century popular culture.

Mainstream media, including state-sponsored broadcasting, commercial 
radio and television, as well as newspapers and magazines, played a 
central role in shaping dominant ideas of who “belongs” in Europe. 
Despite the promise of popular culture as an egalitarian and democratic 
space, media coverage of sporting events and popular music often 
produced reductive or stereotyping portrayals of diverse groups that 
contribute to European culture.

Edited by Dr. Rachel Gillett, Dr. Gijs van Campenhout, Dr. Jacco van 
Sterkenburg, Dastan Abdali, Isabella Hall Allen, Jan Bant and Lis Camelia.

Re/Presenting Europe and Europeans in Twentieth Century Media - A 
critical examination

Cover imageThis special issue of TMG - Journal for Media History 
examines how historical practices of racialisation structure 
representations of Europe, Europeanness and belonging in the domain of 
popular culture. Mainstream media, by which we mean state-sponsored and 
dominant commercial and publicly accessible radio and television, and 
widespread print media genres such as newspapers and magazines, have 
produced and circulated dominant representations of who is European and 
has a rightful place in Europe. Although the domain of popular culture 
promises egalitarian and democratic representation, in practice, 
mainstream coverage of major sporting fixtures and popular music has 
historically offered simplistic or stereotyping portrayals of the 
complex and differentiated “othered” groups that contribute to European 
culture.
