“…It contributes to the analyses of journalism as a domain of power (Barnhurst, 2016; Gutsche, 2014, 2019) by showcasing how chronotopes are an exercise of journalism’s power in a double sense. They simultaneously frame options for action available to protagonists in the events reported on (Jack, 2006) and propagate racist subjectivities among audiences (Applegarth, 2020).…”

“…As systems of knowledge that interweave time, space, and characters, journalistic chronotopes also shape audience responses to the events represented and their protagonists. They direct attention, frame and constrain perceptions, and construct relationships of temporal and/or spatial proximity, or distance, which render those events and people (ir)relevant, (dis)similar, and (in)consequential (Applegarth, 2020: 160). As such, chronotopes produce and transform subjectivities (Manderson, 2017: 167).…”

“…Although the homeland’s temporal aspect is less emphasised, the (white) Czech homeland is clearly temporally unbounded (see Ngo, 2019); the past cyclically informs, but does not limit, the present and potential futures (Neiger and Tenenboim-Weinblatt, 2016). In constructing Czechia as a country that is currently safe even while disaster looms, PL falls back on echoes of the Czech 20th century past, using past events as analogies for negative elements of the present (see Applegarth, 2020; Zelizer, 2008). Czechia’s present repeats a cycle of past events that PL casts as representations of hope (26 January 2020), disillusionment (2 January 2020), and betrayal (4 October 2019); currently, all of these are at play.…”

“…To this end, we borrow from literary studies the concept of a 'chronotope' (time-space): a discursive construct that fuses time and space, thereby ushering in the sphere of meaning (Bakhtin, 1981). While studies of media content occasionally apply 'chronotopes' (Applegarth, 2020;Brottman, 2005;Hutchings and Burchell, 2018), such investigations tend to privilege the temporal over the spatial dimension. To counterbalance this focus, we begin by spatially delineating the key chronotopes of migrationthe 'homeland', 'extended home', and 'outside'which we then unwrap from their different temporal layers.…”

Disentangling time-spaces of migration: Chronotopes and racist subjectivities in ‘identity journalism’ in Poland and Czechia

This article analyses the use of time and space in ‘identity journalism’ in Poland and Czechia. ‘Identity journalism’ is an emic term that valorises the construction of identities as journalism’s prerogative and enacts this by supplying news that amplifies views around which conservative communities coalesce. This article focuses on how identity journalism’s discourse on migration manufactures racist subjectivities. Theoretically, it employs the notion of a ‘chronotope’: a discursive construct that fuses time and space and, in so doing, produces subjectivities. By bringing together spatialities implied in the concept of ‘domopolitics’ with the ‘racialised temporalities’ of critical race theory, the article conceptualises three distinct chronotopes of migration: the ‘homeland’, the ‘extended home’, and the ‘(racialised) outside’. Empirically, it studies how these chronotopes figure in a corpus extracted from two online identity-journalistic media: the Polish wPolityce.pl (110 articles) and the Czech ParlamentniListy.cz (189 articles). The results of a Foucauldian discourse analysis reveal, firstly, that by defining the ‘homeland’ as a spatially fixed entity that persists through time, identity journalism reinforces racist subjectivities by limiting the community of ‘us’ mainly to those who share the same past and, therefore, ethno-racial characteristics. Secondly, by projecting the spatially fixed but demographically diverse ‘extended home’ into the dystopian future, identity journalism buttresses the racist presumption of incompatibility between ‘us’ and ‘them’. Finally, by casting the ‘(racialised) outside’ as spatially mobile but temporally affixed to the uncivilised past, it feeds into the view of racialised migrants as barbaric and threatening.

“…Following the seventeen lives taken in Parkland, and the culmination of several other mass shootings in the United States, young people quickly mobilized (Bent, 2019). Youth activists took to the streets to denounce gun violence and demand strict gun reform (Bent, 2019;Applegarth, 2020).…”

The United Nations' Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agenda ensures and demands the protection and recognition of young people's roles in peace and security. This article focuses on why domestic YPS implementation is needed with the rise of social justice activism by young people in North America. The rise of youth activism and youth leadership in social justice movements has given a space for the global political agenda to challenge traditional approaches to "peace and security" frameworks. This includes challenging pre-conceived notions of YPS - and its policy frameworks - as a 'foreign' agenda by North American and other Western countries. We argue that this global shift in youth social justice activism demonstrates the need for critical domestic implementation and policy priorities for the YPS agenda within traditional donor- or Western- States, using Canada and the United States as case studies.
