Title |
'It Won't Go Viral': Documenting the Charter of Québec Values and Talking Theory on YouTube
|
Abstract |
The authors, students at Concordia University in 2013-2014, reflect upon how postsecondary resources were used by them to create a feminist, free, online, and pedagogical documentary (Tout Cela Est... : Communicating the Charter of Quebec Values/Communiquer la Charte des valeurs quebecoises) about the Charter of Quebec Values. Their objective was to intervene in the mediated story of the legislation and to influence public policy. The authors discuss the scholarly context that influenced their documentary-making approach, as well as their process as first-time producers, and argue for the use of online tools to insert communication studies into a field of debate. In the documentary, the authors turned their camera onto faculty and students in Concordia University's Department of Communication Studies, engaging in lengthy on-campus interviews focused on critiquing the Charter, how it was presented to the public, and how it was covered by media.
