Book Erased: Print Word Censorship and US National Identity
RSAJournal no.35
From canonical masterpieces to the latest bestseller, the history of US literature is punctuated with books that have been banned from classrooms, libraries, and bookshops because they are considered harmful or inappropriate by a reactionary minority. By exposing the most profound fears of the US hegemonic powers and the way these have evolved or persisted, unchanged, over time, banned books mirror, and therefore provide insights into, other politically motivated acts of censorship throughout US history. This special issue of “RSAJournal” invites contributions that examine the ongoing nationwide “Ed Scare” in US public education in the context and as part of a wider, conservative political agenda aimed at maintaining the status quo by restricting and policing (among other things) the promotion and exercise of critical thinking, especially among young people.

Two post-doctoral positions for the projet "Decoding Antisemitism"
In the three-year pilot project "Identifying the Real Dimension of Antisemitism 2.0 in Europe", an international research team will investigate antisemitic language and image use on news websites and social media platforms of the political mainstream in three European countries (Germany, Great Britain and France). First, the object of investigation is analysed in detail. In the second step, all of the examined phenomena are investigated in their breadth by means of quantitative analyses. Main tasks of the post-doctoral positions will be, on one hand, the qualitative linguistic content analysis of social media comments and analysis of image material and text-image relationships in relation to antisemitic content; on the other hand, the application of quantitative linguistic methods to the social media corpus.

Africa narrates itself: media, opinions, influential figures
These days communication and information are characterized by immediacy, speed, and interactivity. Facebook and Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, and blogs transmit a perpetual flow of information, shared videos, pictures, and other content which creates networks and incentivizes sharing in a constantly evolving language. Contemporary mass media therefore ensures that, today more than ever, people in African countries are at the same time autonomous producers and users of a debate, through partly traditional, partly innovative channels, about life in Africa and African communities’ identity, with a tale that travels across the borders of individual countries and the continent itself.

Structure and Dynamics of Media Flows
This workshop is the closing event of the ANR Corpus Géomédia project, which has had geographs, media specialists and computer scientists working together since the end of 2012. It reflects the aims of the project, ie. to create a tool to capture RSS feeds concerned with international news for a number of newspapers in the world (French-, English- and Spanish-speaking), before using it to answer some research issues: what is an event? how to explain the sub/over-representation of some spaces or actors? can the flow of information be modelised at global scale?
