Voices of Challenge in Australia’s Migrant and Minority Press: Counter-Hegemony in Ethnic Media:... [Ethnic media have long been involved in debates on issues that involve the very nature of liberal democratic politics: integration, cultural identity and relationships between diverse social and political groups. This chapter seeks to explore the relationship between ethnic media and democracy by engaging with Chantal Mouffe’s theory of agonistic pluralism. Mouffe’s post-foundational approach rejects the consensus politics associated with liberal universalism, and instead argues for the necessary re-articulation of ineradicable differences between political identities. Drawing on the history of migrant newspapers in liberal democracies, and on my own research into African-Australian media, I use Mouffe’s counter-hegemonic approach to examine the contested terrain of journalistic professionalism, and to interrogate the ways in which a rationalist approach to public debate can marginalise ethnic minority voices.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Ethnic media have long been involved in debates on issues that involve the very nature of liberal democratic politics: integration, cultural identity and relationships between diverse social and political groups. This chapter seeks to explore the relationship between ethnic media and democracy by engaging with Chantal Mouffe’s theory of agonistic pluralism. Mouffe’s post-foundational approach rejects the consensus politics associated with liberal universalism, and instead argues for the necessary re-articulation of ineradicable differences between political identities. Drawing on the history of migrant newspapers in liberal democracies, and on my own research into African-Australian media, I use Mouffe’s counter-hegemonic approach to examine the contested terrain of journalistic professionalism, and to interrogate the ways in which a rationalist approach to public debate can marginalise ethnic minority voices.]
