Description: This series publishes critical scholarship that seeks to engage and transcend the disciplinary isolationism and genre confinement that now characterize so much of contemporary research in communication studies and related fields. It focuses on studies that address the broad intersections and hybrid trajectories that define the encounters between human groups in modern institutions and societies and the way these intersections are represented in contemporary popular cultural forms of knowledge.
Review Quotes: «This is a powerful, richly nuanced, evocative work; a stunning and brilliantly innovative pedagogical and methodological intervention. It provides ground zero - the starting place for the next generation of scholars who study the self and its technologies, the post-global citizen, ethnography in the mobilized field, humanizing technology in a world without borders or boundaries. [This is] a path-breaking accomplishment by a major new social theorist. In these pages McLuhan meets James Carey in a new performative space.» (Norman K. Denzin, College of Communications Scholar, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign).
