Learning and teaching on Screen: Mediated Pedagogies (edited by Mark 
Readman)
http://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9781137578716
What stories are told about teaching and learning on TV and in film? And 
how do these stories reflect, refract and construct myths, anxieties and 
pleasures about teaching and learning? This collection looks at how 
pedagogy is represented on screen, and how TV programs and films 
translate pedagogic ideas into stories and relationships. International 
in scope, with case studies and analysis from the UK, US, Australia, 
Turkey and Brazil-the book adopts a critical stance in relation to the 
ways in which theories of learning and myths about education are 
mobilized on screen. Teaching and Learning on Screen: Mediated 
Pedagogies provides a stimulating addition to the field of media and 
cultural studies, while also promoting debate about particular pedagogic 
models and strategies that will contribute to the professional 
development of educators and those involved in teacher education.

Popular Culture and the Austerity Myth: Hard Times Today (edited by Pete 
Bennett and Julian McDougall)
https://www.routledge.com/Popular-Culture-and-the-Austerity-Myth-Hard-Times-Today/Bennett-McDougall/p/book/9781138942943
Contemporary popular culture is engaged in a rich and multi-levelled set 
of representational relations with austerity. This volume seeks to 
explore these relations, to ask: how does popular culture give 
expression to austerity; how are its effects conveyed; how do texts 
reproduce and expose its mythic qualities? It provides a reading of 
cultural texts in circulation in the present 'age of austerity'. Through 
its central focus-popular culture-it considers the impact and influence 
of austerity across media and textual categories. The collection 
presents a theoretical deconstruction of popular culture's reproduction 
of, and response to, mythical expressions of 'austerity' in Western 
culture, spanning the United Kingdom, North America, Europe and the 
Middle East and textual events from political media discourse, music, 
videogames, social media, film, television, journalism, folk art, food, 
protest movements, slow media and the practice of austerity in everyday 
life.

Doing Text: Media After the Subject (edited by Pete Bennett and Julian 
McDougall)
https://cup.columbia.edu/book/doing-text/9781911325024
This collection re-imagines the study of English and media in a way that 
decentralises the text (e.g. romantic poetry or film noir) or media 
formats/platforms (e.g. broadcast media/new media). Instead, the authors 
work across boundaries in meaningful thematic contexts that reflect the 
ways in which people engage with reading, watching, making, and 
listening in their textual lives. In so doing, this project recasts both 
subjects as combined in a more reflexive, critical space for the study 
of our everyday social and cultural interactions. Across the chapters, 
the authors present applicable learning and teaching strategies that 
weave together art works, films, social practices, creativity, 'viral' 
media, theater, TV, social media, videogames, and literature. The 
culmination of this range of strategies is a reclaimed 'blue skies' 
approach to progressive textual education, free from constraining 
shackles of outdated ideas about textual categories and value that have 
hitherto alienated generations of students and both English and media 
from themselves.
