Summary, Etc.  

요약There is almost no attention paid to those living in poverty in political communication research, much less research dedicated to understanding how the information ecologies of the impoverished are related to their political attitudes and participation. This dissertation analyzes the results of participant observation and interview data from a three-year ethnography of two deeply impoverished communities; one, a rural White Appalachian community and the other, a diverse urban unhoused community in the Midwest. This design tests the theoretical assertion that geographic location and social position are pre-conditions for understanding political identity by comparing how the daily lives of impoverished people are shaped by the economic, political administrative, and communication architecture of the communities in which they live. The findings explain how political geography and collective identity contribute to the loss of political voice and to the material and cultural reproduction of poverty. This dissertation presents the theoretical concept of "radical disengagement," a phenomenon among people living in poverty where a deep-seated distrust in media and government born primarily from negative personal interactions with the criminal justice system and other social institutions leads to a rejection of news media, intentional non-participation in politics, vigilantism, and divergent social norms and economic practices.Anchored in a meso-theoretical orientation, this work combines symbolic interactionism and the structural concept of the lifeworld to illustrate how the co-creation of meaning for communities is generationally constrained by social and economic inequality. In this process, it illustrates how shared stories born from lived experiences become narratives that foster collective identity, assign roles, and eventually influence behavior as they reshape the meaning of interactions with society and institutions. This dissertation advances theoretical understanding of how the interdependence between contingent systemic and phenomenological boundary conditions constrain what actions are available to individuals, and how those actions reinforce location in the social structure. Last, this dissertation locates social conditions that serve as thresholds for news consumption and political engagement. These findings have implications for government policy, non-profit organizational structure, journalism, and news production, and offer evidence-based suggestions for disrupting cycles of invisibility, subjugation, and exploitation of the poor.
