Critical Animal Media Studies: Challenging the hegemonic representations of oppressed groups through communication research
(2023)- Abstract
- In this chapter, we first review key concepts of the critical animal studies field such as oppression, intersectionality, and total liberation. From these ideas we consider the role of media in perpetuating the oppression of minoritized groups, particularly through cultural violence (Galtung, 1990), which legitimizes other forms of violence and injustice. We argue that communication research can contribute to challenging biased hegemonic representations and show how diverse methodologies and perspectives have been used empirically for the case of nonhuman animals. We briefly explore the potential of the ethics of representation, frame analysis, critical discourse analysis, (audio)visual analysis and the political economy of communication.
