potential crossposting), hopefully also inspiring some debate: two
publications out today, one on scholarly group weblog Culture Digitally
(http://culturedigitally.org/) and one at open access journal Digital
Humanities Quarterly (http://digitalhumanities.org/dhq/) on the Media
Life Project.<br>
<br>
in this work and ongoing research (we're always looking for
collaborations btw) we explore the consequences of considering our lives
as lived not with, but in media.<br>
<br>
the Culture Digitally piece focuses on the link between global activism
and worldwide political clampdowns as these relate to (social) media:<br>

<br>
the DHQ article, coauthored with Peter Blank (BlankMediation, Chicago)
and Laura Speers (Kings College, London), looks more broadly at life
lived in media as an ontological turn in media studies:<br>
