[ICTs-and-Society] An interview with Prof. Janet Wasko and an article on "A Seeping Commodification"

[Jernej Amon Prodnik]

Dear colleagues,

 

Some of you may be interested in two recently published pieces in the
journal tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique that I had a pleasure
to work on.

 

Some of you may already have noticed a recently published interview with the
current president of the International Association for Media and
Communication and Communication Research, Professor Janet Wasko. We talked
especially about the influences on her approach, about her position in the
IAMCR, her understanding of how the cultural and media industries work, the
political economy approach in media and communication studies, and issues
related to the film industry, which she mostly tackles in her own research.
Check it out in the current issue of 3C here:
http://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/issue/current (Vol. 12, No. 1,
2014, pp.: 14-27).

 

In the same issue of tripleC I have also published a paper entitled "A
Seeping Commodification: The Long Revolution in the Proliferation of
Communication Commodities"
(http://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/article/view/485), which can be
seen as a continuation of my work on commodification from the Marx is Back
special issue of tripleC, which was edited by Vincent Mosco and Christian
Fuchs in 2012 (see article "A Note on the Ongoing Processes of
Commodification: From the Audience Commodity to the Social Factory",
http://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/article/view/409).

 

I'll be happy to receive any critical observations on both papers from
prospective readers, as I intend to continue my work on the issue of
commodification somewhere in the future (you can, of course, send them to my
personal e-mail).

 

Best regards,

Jernej A. Prodnik
