>How can consent be theorised today? What, for instance, are the 
>contemporary means or conditions for manufacturing consent? What is the 
>role of media rhetoric and practice in the formation of consent? What is 
>the place of consent in advanced liberal democracies, or in other 
>non-liberal geo-political contexts? What are the relations between consent 
>and consensus in political or governmental processes? How essential is 
>consent or consensus to the operations of contemporary politics and of 
>global politics in particular? Can consent be gained on a supra-national 
>level? Or must it be conceived, at every level, as unstable and 
>ineffective, as no longer relevant to the study of democracy in its many 
>forms?
>
>And what of past theories of consent and consensus, such as the one bound 
>to a notion of hegemony? In what ways do contemporary events  
>September 11, Iraq, Tampa, Madrid  invite us to return to and to 
>reconsider such theories and their place (or otherwise) within 
>communication studies, as part (or not) of the history of the discipline?
>
>Southern Review invites theoretically informed discussions (4000-6000 
>words) of the contemporary forms, places, functions and possibilities of 
>consent for the 2004 special issue, Manufacturing Consent?. Papers may 
>be submitted as attachments to an email, and should be double-spaced in A4 
>format and accompanied by an abstract (maximum 100 words). Referencing is 
>author-date (notes for contributors and full details of house style are 
>available on request).
>
>The general aim of Southern Review, an interdisciplinary journal, is to 
>focus on the connections between communication and politics. Southern 
>Review is interested in communication and cultural technologies, their 
>histories, producers and audiences, policies and texts. Articles are 
>welcomed which connect these either to arenas of legislative or 
>parliamentary politics, or to broader negotiations of power.
