[ecrea] New issue 1.3 of Interactions: Studies in Communication & Culture
Tue Dec 06 21:38:04 GMT 2011
Dear All,
the new issue 1.3 of *Interactions: Studies in Communication& Culture
*has been just published by Intellect Books.
Interactions aims to offer the broadest possible range of perspectives
on the relationship between communication, culture and society. A
central objective of Interactions is to foster critical debate about the
role of communications among readers and contributors from diverse
geographical locations and academic backgrounds. This debate involves a
highly extensive array of themes, approaches and contexts including
political economy, political communication, popular culture, media
institutions and practices and promotional culture.
As ever, this commitment to diverse critical debate is reflected in the
latest edition of Interactions:
- Shaun Moores adopts a phenomenological approach to the study of media
uses in daily living.
- John Corner, Kay Richardson and Katy Parry examine the ways in which
politics is mediated within civic and popular culture, using the United
Kingdom in February 2010 as a case study.
- Paul Booth looks at how the historical narrative of Doctor Who is
represented in a fan-created wiki, drawing out wider themes involved the
role of memory, culture and history within contemporary digital culture.
- Using Stanley Kubrick's The Shining as a primary example, Larrie
Dudenhoeffer considers how a film, through the cyborgist re-composition
of its characters, mise-en-scène and spectatorship, can operate as a
complex and intelligent machine.
- Michael Silk, Jessica Francombe and Faye Bachelor argue that the
successful reality TV format The Biggest Loser represents part of a
moral economy informed by neo-liberal ideology that brands the
overweight as personal and moral failures as a means of distinguishing
between 'good' and 'bad' citizens.
- Sakile Camara, Theresa White, Darlene Drummond and Ronald Jackson II
discuss their conclusions from a project involving the deconstruction of
popular film text Far from Heaven by 72 racially mixed students,
examining the student interpretation of otherness within the film.
