Cultural studies and popular culture
The principal purpose of this list is to develop a robust understanding of different approaches to popular culture studies during the past century. Its foundation should include canonical readings of the Frankfurt and Birmingham schools complemented by a few key works from related areas (sociology, anthropology, and Marxist political economy.) This core should be accompanied by an exemplary sample of recent works dealing with whiteness, masculinity, and the internet. Finally, I'd like to include a small number of essays concerning the role of the cultural studies scholar in society and the academy.
Driving questions
- What is "the popular"? How is it different from "pop"?
- How have different scholars mapped out the roles of audience, consumer, and producer?
- How has the "straight white man" been historically constructed and explored by cultural studies scholars?
- How has cultural studies, as a discipline, responded to the diffusion of communication technologies?
Keywords
- Cultural studies
- Popular culture
- Pop, creative industries, consumerism
- Textual analysis, audiences, reception
- Power, hegemony, resistance
- Class, Marxism, political economy
- Gender, sexuality, feminism, masculinity
- Ethnicity, whiteness, race

Comparative media studies and media history
The purpose of this list is to systematically explore key theoretical and historical studies of media since the mid-19th century with special attention to popular communication networks. In a sense, it should be as much about the history of the study of media as it is about the history of media itself. The list should draw on interdisciplinary literature that includes: media studies, history of science/technology, and science, technology and society (STS). More recent works should skew towards those that grapple with the internet and the concept of "new" media.
Driving questions
- What different approaches have been taken to historicize and/or "period-ize" the last century of media/communication technologies?
- How have different theorists and historians confronted (or contributed to) linear-progressive narratives of media technology, especially the "old"/"new" media dichotomy?
- What kinds of recurring patterns of social behavior have been observed during moments of media transition (e.g. moral panics, utopian/dystopian thinking)?
- How have theorists and historians trained in the social sciences/humanities learned to manage issues of expertise/experience when studying very specialized, highly technical fields?
Keywords
- Comparative media studies, media in transition
- Media, technology, medium specificity
- Media history, historiography, eventalization
- Social shaping, social construction of technology (SCOT)
- New media, residual media, (un)dead media, obsolescence
- Mass, corporate, state, public, independent, grassroots
- Professionalization, amateurs, hobbyists, tinkerers
- Broadcast, TV, radio, music, noise, sound
- Micro/personal/home-computing, programming, code

Infrastructure and its contexts
The purpose of this list is to understand the different circumstances within which media technologies and communication networks may be imagined, constructed, adopted, and abandoned. The readings here should focus on the economic, geographic, and regulatory dimensions of ICT development. Although culture and technology are explored in greater depth in other lists, special attention should be given here to studies (and narratives) of user-driven innovation, "hackers," and "disruptive" technologies, individuals or organizations.
Driving questions
- What different methodological approaches have been used to model and measure the economic impact of communication technologies?
- What types of labor are included and excluded in categories like "ICT" or "information worker"?
- What is the relationship between the "two guys in a garage" Silicon Valley narrative and the lived experience of a middle class "information worker" (e.g. a member of the Best Buy Geek Squad)?
- How have different scholars understood the role of the user in the development of communication technologies?
Keywords
- Economics of media, information economy, creative destruction
- Media policy, planning, regulation
- Labor, work, employment, entrepreneurship
- Co-production, free labor, fan labor
- User-driven innovation, hacking, hobbyist
- Intellectual property, ownership, free culture
- Communication networks, infrastructure, network analysis
- Political economy

Public sphere, public discourse, and social imaginaries
The purpose of this reading list is to map out an interdisciplinary literature concerned with publics and counter-publics. It should explore different uses of theoretical constructs like "publics" and "the public sphere" over the last few decades with special attention to the application of these terms to mediated communication. I am as interested in stricter definitions of the public sphere (e.g. democratic deliberation bound to outcomes) as I am with more loose interpretations applied to emerging communication situations (e.g. YouTube comment threads.)
Driving questions
- Which conditions have different scholars described as requirements for a public to form or emerge?
- Under what conditions do people feel differently enabled, invited, or empowered to speak?
- What sorts of expectations should participants in a public have regarding outcomes, reciprocity, and persistence?
- When private industries offer infrastructures for public discourse, what responsibilities should they have as stewards?
- Can a public emerge if neither the duration of the interaction is unstable and the total number of participants cannot be known?
Keywords
- Publics, counter-publics, public sphere
- Public culture, civic engagement, deliberation
- Semiotics, symbolic interaction, language games, naming
- Social imaginary, networked publics, simulation
- Discourse analysis, circulation, data
- Recursive publics, hybrid public/private spaces and infrastructures
- Anonymity, privacy, self-censorship, transparency
