“…The Quebec women's movement has a network of large, established organizations and interest groups that emerged at the turn of the second wave of feminism in the 1960s and 1980s. This wave was marked by demands for reproductive rights, equality in employment (pay equity) and representation in public spheres [11,12]. Despite a significant loss of funding since the 2000s, the Quebec feminist movement remains organized and among the best funded in Canada and remains an important source of influence in the political sphere [13].…”

The research has two objectives: (1) to document the mediatization of feminism by the Quebec media and (2) to identify the uses of social-digital media by Quebec feminist interest groups to make their demands heard in the traditional media. It is in line with the work on digital advocacy and the mediatization of feminism. The analysis is based on the media discourses produced by three Quebec newspapers in the context of International Women's Day (March 8) between 2017 and 2021 and the Facebook and Twitter publications of the Collectif 8 mars in 2020 and 2021. The results show that the Quebec media pay more attention to issues of women's under-representation in the public space and sexism than to the political dimensions behind the inequalities. For its part, the feminist group uses social and digital media more to cultivate and promote a feminist solidarity network than to disseminate information about its demands and women's equality issues.

“…Although Hanson's work underlines international communication, she offers useful insights on how technological advances and political changes have influenced the content and scope of communication discipline across time and space. The interplay between communication and power is also examined by other critical approaches such feminism (see Bellerive and Yelle, 2016), and more broadly, the study of creative and cultural industries within the Franco-Quebecois literature (see Bouquillon, 2014;George, 2014;Miège, 2012;Moeglin, 2012). Scholars such as Bouquillon (2014) argue that, as the notion of culture becomes increasingly fragmented and decentralized, "new" socio-economic agencies (e.g.…”

Communication Studies, Interdisciplinarity Debates, and the Quest for Knowledge

This article focuses on interdisciplinarity as a “future field” and what it means for the communication discipline. It argues that, whereas interdisciplinarity has the potential to produce “high-risk, high-reward” research outcomes, communication studies has more to gain refining the vast body of knowledge that has shaped its conceptual and institutional particularities across time and space. Whereas this argument is not anything new, I contribute to these debates by emphasizing anthropological questioning, epistemological formulations, ethical reasoning, and the quest for meaning as potential modalities of consolidating the epistemic and political views that have guided the intellectual impetus of communication studies. The proposed refinement is predicated on the assumption that communication studies is already a boundary-crossing discipline; the very reason it arguably lacks coherent historical roots and scientific rationality. The article contributes to the debates on how to operationalize communication studies as a scientific domain without losing its unique boundary-crossing appeal.
