Automation Is a Myth Luke Munn

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
For some, automa�on will usher in a labor-free utopia; for others, it signals a disastrous age-tocome. Munn moves from machine minders in China to warehouse pickers in the United States to explore the ways that new technologies do (and don't) reconfigure labor. Combining this rich array of human stories with insights from media and cultural studies, Munn points to a more nuanced, localized, and racialized understanding of the "future of work."
Examines the role of video games in American culture, approaching games through the lenses of transpacific studies, queer historiography, cultural history, cri�cal race and ethnic studies, and border studies. These essays show how games can contribute to an expanded understanding of the United States and of the ways that cultural forms circulate na�onally and transna�onally.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
Traces climate engineering from the early twen�eth century to the present, showing how a range of Japanese scien�sts, technicians, architects, and ar�sts developed technologies to monitor, condi�on, and modify climate. Furuhata’s transpacific analysis offers a novel take on the elemental condi�ons of media and climate change. 1
Proposes the concept of "cultural ne�zenship"—internet ci�zenship and its aesthe�cocultural dimensions—as a way of being on the social web and ar�cula�ng counter-hegemonic selfpresenta�ons through viral popular images. A fascina�ng look at the intersec�on of social media and popular culture performance, this book reveals the logic of remedia�on that is central to both the internet's remix culture and the genera�ve materialism of African popular arts.

Videogames conjure new worlds for those who play them, human or otherwise: they’ve been played by cats, orangutans, and pigs, and they let gamers experience life from the perspec�ve of a pet dog, a predator, or a prey animal. Tom Tyler provides the first sustained considera�on of videogames and animals and demonstrates how thinking about animals and games together can prompt fresh thinking about both.
Image by image and hashtag by hashtag, Instagram has redefined the ways we relate to food. Emily J. H. Contois and Zenia Kish edit contribu�ons that explore the massively popular social media pla�orm as a space for self-iden�fica�on, influence, transforma�on, and resistance.

Medieval books that survive today have been through a lot: singed by fire, mo�led by mold, eaten by insects, annotated by readers, cut into fragments, or damaged through well-inten�oned preserva�on efforts. In this book, Michelle Warren tells the story of one such manuscript— an Arthurian romance with textual origins in twel�h-century England now diffused across the twenty-first century internet.
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS

We regularly touch and handle media devices. At the same �me, media devices, such as smart phones scan and touch us. Schmidgen reflects on the dynamic phenomena of touch in media, analyzing works by ar�sts, scien�sts, and philosophers ranging from Salvador Dalí to Walter Benjamin, who each explore the interplay between tac�lity and technological and biological surfaces.
Constructs a genealogy of the legal concep�ons of what counts as “speech” within free speech law, showing how changes in media technology influenced changing legal defini�ons of speech. The legal category of speech has varied considerably, evolving from a narrow category of oratory and print publica�on to a broad, abstract concep�on.

How Technologies Mediate Crisis and Normalize Inequality Elizabeth Ellcessor
Slavery and the Visual Culture of Domestic Violence Kelli Moore
A much-needed look at the growth of emergency media and its impact on our lives. The first book to develop a typology of emergency media, this book opens a much-needed conversa�on around the larger cultural meanings of “emergency,” and what an ethical and care-based approach to emergency could entail.
Traces the poli�cal origins of the concept of domes�c violence through visual culture in the United States, showing how it is rooted in the archive of slavery. By posi�oning tes�mony on contemporary domes�c violence prosecu�on within the archive of slavery, Moore demonstrates that domes�c violence and its image are haunted by black bodies, black flesh, and black freedom.

Explores how 1970s feminists took up the figure of the lesbian in broad a�empts to reimagine gender and sexuality by studying feminist film, video, and science fic�on literature. Throughout, Samer embraces the perpetual reimagina�on of “lesbian” and the lesbian’s former futures for the sake of con�nued, radical world-building.
Wri�ng at a cultural moment in which data has never been more ubiquitous or less convincing, Cecche�o theorizes sound, communica�on, and data by analyzing them in the contexts of computa�on, wearable technologies, and digital artwork. Cecche�o demonstrates that data is never quite what it seems. 3

Amid fervent conversa�ons about an�racism and police violence, Media and the Affec�ve Life of Slavery delivers vital new ideas about how our feelings about race are governed and normalized by our media landscape.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
The history of projected images at the turn of the seventeenth century reveals a changing percep�on of chance and order, con�ngency and form. Väliaho maps how the leading op�cal media of the period—the camera obscura and the magic lantern—developed in response to, and framed, the era's key intellectual dilemma of whether the world fell under God's providen�al care, or was subject to chance and open to specula�ng.

Drawing on methods in media and literary history, this book offers new perspec�ves on the transna�onal aspects of Cold War media. Contributors analyze countries around the world, including Cuba, Finland, Italy, and more, to provide a fuller picture of a significant and complex media culture.

Year a�er year the crisis churns: gra� and corrup�on, violence and murder, riot cops and armored vehicles claim city streets. Despite promises of reform, police operate with impunity, unaccountable to law. Travis Linnemann asks why, with this open record of violence and corrup�on, policing remains for so many the best, perhaps only means of security in an insecure world.
