Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This innovative volume critically examines the intersection between democracy, education and communication in African educational domains. Providing a platform for multidisciplinary research, it advances scholarship in democratic citizenship education in African higher education through methodological and theoretical innovation.The book discusses the extent to which explicit or subtle communication frameworks that underlie policymaking, institutional culture, teaching and learning experiences in African higher education significantly engender democratic mind habits and practices in students as citizens. Chapters in the book examine how communication frameworks in pedagogy ought to navigate power imbalances between students on the one hand and the institution and academics on the other. The book also examines how (dis)empowering higher education policies are and whether they contribute to democratic equality.This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of education, democratic citizenship education, communication, and African studies.

Extreme-Weather Disasters and Media Discourses in Malawi
Perspectives on Construction and Representations of Social Actors

This innovative volume provides a comprehensive critical analysis of global media discursive practices in constructing and representing social actors following extreme-weather disasters that caused massive destruction and loss of lives in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Malawi, South Africa and Mozambique.It contextualises the past five years' reports on the hydrometeorological disasters of tropical cyclones Freddy, Idai, Gombe, Baptista and Ana to investigate the discursive strategies that global (local and international) media typically used to present the selected content and what the overt and covert are that media texts put out to their respective implied audiences. Specifically, the book analyses the media construction and representation of the different social actors involved in the disasters, primarily focusing on varied ways that media foregrounded their situation while incisively examining gender inequalities and other stereotypical representations. The social actor construction is juxtaposed with the communicative power relations debates, the global hierarchies between the respective North-South communities, examining the specific interlocking humanitarian, hegemonic and expertise discourses from the purposively selected cases in the media. Informed by multimodal critical discourse analysis theories, the book contends that the media negatively represented the victims of the disasters and their respective local governments as underprepared, unresponsive and passive recipients of humanitarian aid. It also ascertains the generic portrayal of donor countries and non-profit organisations as compelling social actors with agency. The global media reports also uphold and perpetuate gender inequalities with minimal difference between the local and international news outlets. The book situates our understanding that the global media representation of extreme-weather disasters in Malawi is not neutral but socially constructed with various ideological perspectives.
