GlobalMedia: What are International Communication and Global Communication? (U1-P2)

They are activities (things that happen in the world) and they are fields of academic study.

International Communication: “simply defined, is communication that occurs across international borders, that is, over the borders of nation-states”(Fortner).

International Communication: “a field of inquiry and research that consists of the transfer of values, attitudes, opinions, and information through individuals, groups, governments, and technologies, as well as the study of the structure of institutions responsible for promoting or inhibiting such messages among and between nations and cultures”(Mowlana).


Global Communication: “the intersection of disciplines that studies the transborder communication of values, attitudes, opinions, information, and data by individuals, groups, people, institutions, governments, and information technologies, as well as the resulting controversial issues arising from the structure of institutions responsible for promoting or inhibiting such messages among and between nations and cultures”(Frederick). [Note: Frederick is a former student of Mowlana. I had the honor of being a student of bother Mowlana and Frederick in American University's School of International Service.]

What difference do you see between "international communication" and "global communication"?  Are they the same thing?  What is Frederick adding to the discussion?


One thing that Frederick stresses is that "global communication" is "an intersection of disciplines" or put another way it is an interdiscipline.

Interdiscipline: "a field of scholars who identify with various disciplines but share a common interest in a theme that crosses traditional [academic] boundaries“ (Littlejohn).

Disciplines which study GC: international relations, political science, communication, sociology, anthropology, electronic communication, etc.

Another difference that Frederick stresses is: 

• International Communication: 
• communication between nation-states
• Global Communication: 
• includes nation-states, but also acknowledges the growing importance of the role of the “non-state actors”

Examples of “non-state actors”

• Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs)
• private interest groups
• Grameen Bank 
• Greenpeace International
• (See Union of International Associations (UIA) - 44,000+ NGOs listed)
• Transnational Corporations (TNCs)
• Examples
• Microsoft
• Coca-Cola
• CNN

Mowlana acknowledges Frederick’s distinction and now uses “Global Communication” in later books.

Use the definition given above and determine if the following are examples of global communication.

• Transfer of funds from a bank in U.S. to a Swiss bank?
• CNN broadcasts around the world?
• An electronic journal produced in the U.S. read by a person in Argentina?
• Voice of America broadcasts in other countries?
• Television programming produced in New Zealand shown in Australia?
• Pres. Obama talking with German leader?

GlobalMedia: MLK and INC (U1-P1)

Martin Luther King, Jr., 1964
(Public domain/government photo)

Recently we celebrated Martin Luther King Day.

Are there any connections between what Dr. King did and the study of international (or global) communication?

What did Dr. King protest against?  What was he fighting for?
Short answer: Equal Rights and Peace.

When you think of communication between nations, do you think of some nations (e.g., "developing nations" or poorer nations) which do not have equal representation on the world stage.  Do you think of some nations that have a stronger media system and more media influence around the world?  Familiar with the phrase "cultural imperialism"?

Some of these nations attempt to fight back against the unequal flow of media/culture (via books, movies, music) coming into their countries.  Very often it is U.S. books, movies and music that are "conquering" other nations.  Example: Top Films in Brazil right now.

Do nations have rights?  What role does global communication play in this?

So, some countries fight back for equality and a right preserve their own culture.  Also,some scholars in the field of global communication fight back.  Sometime in their writings they address this issue.  See below.

How to Study a Course Reading

1. Start with an outline of the reading.  For example, below is an outline for the first chapter of McPhail’s Global Communication (3rd Edition).  Sometimes you may find an expanded/detailed chapter outline at the beginning of the book.  If not, like below, you’ll have to do it yourself.

Chapter/Reading Title: Global Communication (Background)

Introduction

Terrorism and September 11, 2001

Latin American Media

Left-wing Connection: Latin America

Chile: US Government Media Interaction

History of the War Correspondent

New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO)

Electronic Colonialism Theory (ECT)

Four Epochs of Global Colonization

History of Electronic Colonialism Theory

What is Electronic Colonialism Theory (ECT)?

World System Theory (WST)

The Connection: Electronic Colonialism and World Systems Theories

Communication Forces among Nations

Breadth of the Problem

Format for the Balance of the Book

With this outline you can see the big picture and how things are related.


2. Fill in he outline with words and lists.  Note that already in the outline there may be lists that you spot.  For example, in the outline above, there is already a short list of global communication theories (ECT and WST).  A possible quiz or exam question could be: Identify and explain two theories of global communication identified in the reading.

Below only some of the relevant words and lists are incorporated into the outline.  This is not complete, but serves as an example.  The few examples given are in italics and in blue in the example outline below.

Chapter/Reading Title: Global Communication (Background)

Introduction

Three Important Traits of the Cultural Dimension of Global Communication

How much foreign content....

How is this foreign content...

History of Electronic Colonialism Theory

What is Electronic Colonialism Theory (ECT)?

World System Theory (WST)

The Connection: Electronic Colonialism and World Systems Theories

Communication Forces among Nations

Breadth of the Problem

Format for the Balance of the Book

3. Now carefully study the expanded outline.  Maybe break it apart into flash cards or condense it and put it on one sheet of paper.  Do whatever works for you.  Now also, based on the expanded outline, try to anticipate possible quiz or exam questions.  For example, a question from the reading above could be:  Identify and briefly explain the four epochs of global colonization.

DigPhotog: Intro to Photography: The 4 Stages of Competence & Photography (U1-P4)

"Taking a Shot": The 4 Stages of Competence and Photography

In photography you are learning a set of knowledge/facts and a skill (or sets of skills)
How do you take a good photograph?  What's the process?  How do you do it?

Learning how to shoot a good photograph is like learning how to shoot a good foul shot in basketball.

Photo by mollyali (flickr.com).  
Photo used under Creative Commons license and embedded using  the Flickr share feature.

Whether we are learning how to shoot a basketball, how to study for an exam or how to take a good photograph, we go through some stages.

The Four Stages

1. Unconscious Incompetence - We don't know that we don't know.
We are unaware of what it takes to accomplish a task.  We don't know what it takes to make that foul shot.  We don't know what it takes to get the perfect photograph.

2. Conscious Incompetence - We know that we don't know.
We may not know exactly how to do the task, but we recognize there are things we need to learn.  We become aware that there are certain things we need to do to consistently make that foul shot.  We become aware that there are certain things we need to do to consistently make a good photograph.

3. Conscious Competence - We know that we know.
We are very consciously aware of the steps to doing a task and we can carefully work through the steps of the task.  We know what is needed to make the foul shot and we consciously think through those steps when taking the foul shot.  We know what is needed to make a good photograph and we consciously think through those steps when taking a photograph.

4. Unconscious Competence - We don't know that we know.
We know the task so well, we don't think about it any more.  It has become second nature. We take that shot with little conscious thought.


What was the last skill you remember learning in which you went through these stages?  Can you describe what happened in each stage and when?

When it comes to photography, what stage are you in now?  What's your goal?


Note: The Four Stages of Competence has been attributed to noted psychologist Abraham Maslow, Gordon Training International and William Howell in intercultural communication.

Thinking of Grad School? Undergraduate Research Grants

"Undergraduate Training Programs and Resources

REU Site Summer Institute 2012: Immigration, Geography, and Race/Ethnicity in the United States

Each year the Population Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin, in collaboration with the Department of Sociology, hosts the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. This eight-week summer program, which is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, offers eight very selective upper-division undergraduate students from both UT-Austin and from around the country the opportunity to study social demography through course work and a mentored research experience with senior PRC graduate students. The program pays for tuition, room and board, and computer expenses. Students also receive a stipend for participation in the program, which allows the selected students to fully concentrate on their REU experience over the 2-month program. Students register for a 3-hour summer course during the first half of the summer, then dedicate the second half of the summer to their own projects in collaboration with their graduate student mentor and under the overall guidance of the faculty co-directors. Student papers are then presented at the annual fall meeting of the Southern Demographic Association. This program is specifically geared toward students with junior standing who are seriously thinking about attending graduate school in the social sciences and, particularly, in sociology and demography.


We are now accepting applications for the summer 2012 REU program. The deadline for applications is February 17, 2012. Undergraduate student participants must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or its possessions. Click here for application information and instructions.

DigPhotog: Intro to Photography: Photo Criticism II - Andre Cabuche & Kevin Carter (U1-P3)

Photograph Criticism II

There are a variety of ways of critiquing a photograph.  Below is another way outlined by Andre Cabuche in a Canadian Camera article (2004). Cabuche divides his approach to three parts: technical quality, composition, and emotional appeal.

1. TECHNICAL QUALITY

• "FOCUS: Is the image sharp? If not, is it intentionally soft and successful?"
• "CLEANLINESS: Is it free of scratches, dust spots, stains, lens flare, etc?"
• "EXPOSURE: Is it too light, too dark or just right?"
• "LIGHTING: Is the lighting too contrasty, too flat or just right?"
• "COLOURS: Does it have neutral colours or a strange colour cast?"

2. COMPOSITION

• "BALANCE: Is the image aligned correctly or is it crooked?"
• "LOGIC: Is the arrangement of the visual elements effective?"
• "PURPOSE: Is there a strong centre of interest, pattern or design?"
• "CLARITY: Is it simple, yet complete and without distracting elements?"

3. EMOTIONAL APPEAL

• "DYNAMIC: Does it grab and keep your attention? Does it have the "wow" factor?"
• "PROVOCATIVE: Does it excite your imagination, or create a strong emotion in you?"
• "CREATIVE: Does it show a familiar subject in a new, unusual and yet effective way?"
• "UNUSUAL: Does it show a very unusual subject in an effective way?"

Use the above approach on Kevin Carter's Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of a starving girl in Sudan.  This photo definitely provokes emotional appeal and raises ethical issues in photojournalism.


Some closing questions:

• Any similarities or differences between Cabuche's approach and Barrett's approach?
• What is the relationship between critiquing a photograph and composing a photograph?

DigPhotog: Intro to Photography: Critiquing Photos (U1-P2)

Photography Criticism

When learning how to critique photographs, a good place to start is with Barrett's book, Criticizing Photographs: An Introduction to Understanding Images.

• “Criticism is informed discourse about art to increase understanding and appreciation of art.”
• “Criticism is not a coldly intellectual endeavor.”

Barrett's Approach

• Describe what you see.
• Consider the subject matter.
• Consider how form relates to subject matter.
• Subject matter + form (focus, contrast, etc.)= content.
• Let interpretation be communal.
• Who determines the meaning?  Photographer? Critic?
• Suggest photographer be silent.
• Interpret the photograph by questions it raises.
• Avoid hasty judgments.
• Consider presentational environments.
• Subject + form + context = content
• Ask how the photograph would be judged.
• Consider assumptions/theories.
• What are the photographer’s theories about the way the world works?
• Be honest and open.

Barrett's approach can be summarized as the DIET way of critiquing a photograph.

1. Describe
2. Interpret
3. Evaluate
4. Theorize

Below is a photo to critique using Barrett's approach.  

Gordon Parks' American Gothic. Portrait of government cleaning
woman Ella Watson. August 1942. (Public domain photo)   

If you like, you can post below your critique of American Gothic using Barrett's approach.

American Gothic, that sounds familiar.  What was Parks' inspiration for the title of his photo?

DigPhotog: Intro to Photography: Mentors - Gordon Parks (U1-P1)

Gordon Parks, 1963,
(public domain photo)

One way to begin your study of digital photography is start with a close study of photographs.  Before taking photographs, study photographs.  Be able to critique a photograph first.  Be able to say what is a good photograph and why and then go out and take good photographs based on what you learned in your study of good photographs.

Instead of studying just any photo though, it would be best to start with a study of photographs taken by some of the great photographers.

I'd suggest that you find two or three great photographers that can serve as your mentors.  Start by visiting the Masters of Photography site.  You may find other similar sites online.

I'd encourage you to consider Gordon Parks as one of your mentors. In addition to being a photographer, Parks was an artist, a composer, an author, and a film director (e.g., Shaft).
