#PEC#PoliticalEconomy#MediaStudies: "Vincent Mosco (1948-2024) grounded and advanced the approach of the Political Economy of Communication (PEC). This paper discusses some aspects of his Critical-Humanist approach to the Political Economy of Communication. It engages with the foundations of Vincent Mosco’s thought; the roles that labour and communication play in it; his focus on Karl Marx and Marxian scholarship, culture, ideology critique, the digital sublime, democracy, the media, and the public good. Vincent Mosco’s life and work will be remembered. His approach will shape future generations of activist-scholars."

Ko-Leitung der Forschungsabteilung „#Zeitgeschichte der Medien- und Informationsgesellschaft“ am Leibniz-Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung #Potsdam (@ZZF) zum 1.10.2024 (unbefristet, TV-L 15).
On early-1960s American TV, the line between "camp" and "gay" was sometimes awfully thin. Here's the great George Rose playing a very campy, queer-coded pirate in a CBS production of TREASURE ISLAND (March 5, 1960). He almost sounds like he's channeling the British camp comedian Kenneth Williams.
Young Jim is played by Richard O'Sullivan, who 13 years later would star as Robin Tripp in the British sitcom MAN ABOUT THE HOUSE (the inspiration for THREE'S COMPANY) and later the sequel ROBIN'S NEST.
Hi everyone! I'm Detha, a new member of Beige Party-goers with #AuDHD from #Indonesia, #TootSEA.
I'm currently in my late-20s and a #polyglot — I speak three languages fluently: #Indonesian, #Javanese, and #English. I've also been learning #Japanese, currently trying to memorise Hiragana and Katakana letters.
Other than that, I love reading #manga a lot. Currently I'm making it my mission to read older mangas from my childhood, like #DetectiveConan and #Hellsing. I like reading in general, just not "actual books" haha — my attention span can't handle it.
I guess that's what I can think of for my #introduction for now. I have a lot more scattered interests though, so you'll be seeing more of it on my account.
Thank you to @theropologist for accepting my request to join this instance, and nice to meet you all! Beige-bless :bb:
At this anniversary time of Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, one of the best films ever made, I recommend this as the finest scholarship published on Strangelove as a film, as a social commentary, and as an ur text of nuclear culture: Reconstructing Strangelove by Mick Broderick. Essential reading.
"CNN‘s description (1/29/24) of Charles Littlejohn as someone who “stole” tax returns (he was actually convicted of “unauthorized disclosure”) is a framing that criminalizes much of what #CNN and other news outlets do."
After a successful search in the Fall we're hiring again! This is a wonderful department filled with colleagues I truly love. Please spread widely within your networks.

#MediaPolicy#CommunicationGovernance#TechnologyPolicy#MediaStudies: "The Global Media Policy Working Group is pleased to announce the publication of Global Communication Governance at the crossroads, the 20th title in the Palgrave/IAMCR book series Global Transformations in Media and Communication Research. Edited by Claudia Padovani, Véronique Wavre, Arne Hintz, Gerard Goggin and Petros Iosifidis.
The collection celebrates 20+ years of activity of the Working Group on Global Media Policy, addressing current challenges, trends and transformations in global communication governance. Exploring changes in the actors, issues, values and contexts of media and communications, it investigates the crossroads that media policy is facing and offers visions for the future. A diverse range of scholars and expert practitioners discuss what regulatory reforms and governing mechanisms are required to advance democratic participation and fundamental rights in platform societies.
Organized around five sections, the volume considers the geopolitics of emerging communication orders; the changing roles of actors and stakeholders; the challenge of embedding rights and values in regulatory arrangements; the intersection of technology and policy; and the need to rethink epistemologies and methodologies for researching this field.
Contributions from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds include provocative think pieces and longer analyses. All chapters are grounded in historically-aware understandings of contemporary transformations, while anticipating dynamics of our communication futures."
I'm still emerging from my search committee-induced fugue state, so I only just found out that @brianmerchant of the LA Times named a volume from the series I co-edit as one of the top ten tech books of 2023.
If you've not checked it out yet, Lee McGuigan's "Selling the American People" is a brilliant and essential pre-history of surveillance advertising. So fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him.
Calling all educators in journalism and media studies!
I'm a molecular biologist at #PennState. In the spring I am piloting a new general education course for non-science majors: "Science in Media."
The aim is to combine media literacy skills with hard science topics, through the lens of our shared experience consuming science media during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I am looking for introductory texts on "media" writ large. What has worked for you?
I've found Campbell, Martin, & Fabos; Ott & Mack; Long & Wall; and Deuze. Which do you like? What have I missed?
Any other effective, insightful readings you can recommend?
