Immanence goes to Scoop.it

Posted in Blog stuff, Media ecology on January 7, 2013 | 1 Comment »

The latest piece I’ve added is the following bit of prescient (or perhaps eternally relevant) American humor: H/t to Jon Cogburn at […]

Post-Soviet riot grrls

Posted in Media ecology, Politics, tagged , , , , , on August 20, 2012 | 6 Comments »

While this doesn’t have much to do with the usual themes of this blog, it is an interesting case study of media culture and political protest (and one that my Ukrainian studies background qualifies me to comment on). It’s the case of Pussy Riot supporter Inna Shevchenko, an activist with the Ukrainian feminist protest group […]

Wendy Chun, “Imagined networks” I will read quickly and show you more than I read. (Warning to readers: so this trans/re/scription will not be adequate.)
