This volume examines communicative justice from the perspective of the pluriverse and explores how it is employed to work towards key pluriverse goals of environmental, cognitive, sociocultural, sociopolitical, and political economy justice.
The book identifies and explains the unequal power relations in place that limit the possibilities of communication justice, the challenges and difficulties faced by activists and communities, the ways in which communities and movements have confronted power structures through discourse and material action, and their successes and limitations in creating new structures that promote the right to, and facilitate a future for, communicative justice. The volume features contributions based on experiences of resistance and transformation in the Global South—Bolivia, Ecuador, India, Malawi, and collaborations between the continents of Latin America and Africa—as well as notable studies from the Global North—Japan, Spain, and the United Kingdom—that defy hegemonic models.
This book is essential for students and scholars interested in media and communication activism, media practice for development and social change, and communication for development and social change, as well as those actively engaged with activism and social justice.
"Communicative Justice in the Pluriverse powerfully demonstrates why decolonizing communications is essential to all pluriversal politics. Methodically organized around the cogent concept of communicative justice, each chapter brilliantly disrupts dominant practices of communicative violence while creatively illuminating multiple paths towards a media ecology indispensable for the flourishing of the pluriverse and a renewed ethics of interdependence and care. The volume’s approach is decidedly transnational and inter-epistemic, making it eminently applicable to many fields, from communications, global, and development studies to political ecology and cutting-edge ontologically oriented pursuits."
Arturo Escobar, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA
"Valuable studies from across the planet of the material and cultural dimensions of communicative justice, putting in dialogue theories of the pluriverse with studies of everyday practices, ranging, for example, from the embodiment of women’s knowledge and solidarity in Aymara textile-making and Spanish popular music, to post-neoliberal development struggles in Okinawa, Malawi, and Ecuador. Useful for students in both the global south and north. "
