Acknowledgements

The editors thank the following for permission to include the essays
collected in this book: for articles which originally appeared in the Journal
of Communication Inquiry (1986), vol. 10 no. 3, we would like to thank
the Iowa Center for Communication Study, School of Journalism and Mass
Communication, University of Iowa, and especially Professor Hanno
Hardt, for his generous support; David Tetzlaff, without whom the 1986
project would never have been completed, and Larry Grossberg, who
helped tremendously in putting the original project together. For Jorge
Larrain’s article from Theory, Culture & Society we thank the editors and
Sage for permission to reprint it here; for Kuan-Hsing Chen’s article from
Media, Culture and Society we thank the editors and Sage; for Stuart Hall’s
‘What is this “black” in black popular culture?’ we thank the Dia Arts
Centre; for Hall’s ‘The meaning of New Times’ we thank Lawrence &
Wishart; for Hall’s ‘For Allon White: metaphors of transformation’ we
thank Oxford University Press; for Hall’s ‘New ethnicities’ we thank the
Institute of Contemporary Arts; for Isaac Julien and Kobena Mercer’s ‘De
Margin and De Centre’ we thank the editors of Screen and the John Logie
Baird Centre.
We would also like to thank those contributors to the original JCI project
who either updated or rewrote their contributions for this volume (Ien Ang
and Jon Stratton, Charlotte Brunsdon, Iain Chambers, John Fiske, Angela
McRobbie, Jennifer Daryl Slack and Colin Sparks). Kuan-Hsing Chen
wishes to thank the National Tsing Hua University, especially the former
Acting President C.T.Lee, for his generosity and constant warm support
and for providing funding for necessary administrative assistance, and he
would also like to thank Naifei Ding for her patient help with transcribing
and editing the interviews. David Morley would like to thank Charlotte
Brunsdon for her help with the compilation of the material in Part V of this
volume and Jessie Cartner Morley for one particularly complicated piece of
copy-editing. Finally, we would both like to thank Stuart Hall for giving
his time and thoughts to the project: clearly, without his intellectual and
political commitment, this book would not exist.
