  • The Nigerian Press and the Politics of Meaning

D) of the CODESRIAUNIVERSITY OF - IBADANLIBRARY Department of Political Science, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. August 2002. ABSTRACT One of the central problems facing many post-colonial states is defining the terms on which the various ethnie nationalities within the polities will co-exist. The mass media are pivotai to contestations over defining these political identities and constructing the narratives of the nations in these post-colonial states, as well as the grand narrative of the emerging nation-state itself. This role of the media has not received sustained--academic attention. This research examines the contending narratives on the Nigerian 'nation' as reflected in the Nigerian press within the context ofLIBRARY other narratives in the polity. lt studies how meaning is deployed or mobilized- in the press either to establish, nourish and sustain relations of domination/power or to counteract, subvert and deflect power within and among ethnie nationalities in the context of the evolving idea of the Nigerian nation. The study uses the depth-hermeneutical framework to investigate how the CODESRIA interpretation of ideo\ogy - recast as meaning in the service of power - in the press serves to stimulate critical reflections on the relations of power and domination in the grand narrative.
