The uses of immortality
This article examines how popular culture and play deal with the fear of death and supersession of humanity by technology. Barbie is corporeal, but immortal. Her persona allows devotees to project wishful-thinking into the unknown, populating the world and the future with humanoid hallucinations. Barbie has not turned to religion; she supplants religion. If she becomes mortal, she’ll die. If she becomes digital, she’ll be coming for you
Remaking TV studies
Back to the Feudal? AI Technologies, Knowledge, and Humanism in a Time of Transition
This article is a reflection on the ramifications of externalizing knowledge, first to gods, then to machines, and now to computers. That process has already led to the mortality of humanity and the jeopardy of the planet. What can 'pan-humanism' mean or do in such a world
Policy is theft
Men must learn now with pity to dispense; For policy sits above conscience. (Shakespeare, Timon of Athens, III.ii.91-3). tech corporations and platforms, which see the global internet as a private market; state legislatures and regulatory systems, which advance national and sectional interests; consumer rights, where ‘consumer’ means individual shoppers, not creative citizens or classes acting at global scale. There is a limit to what piecemeal r…
Strategic stories
The deployment of strategic stories, that is, stories designed to prevail over adversaries, is at work in domestic politics as well as in diplomacy. In both cases, the strategy has two aims: to create a division between ‘us’ and ‘them’, and at the same time to ascribe moral supremacy to ‘our side’ while posing ‘their side’ as an existential threat. Strategic storytelling specialises in discrimination and foe creation, but the nature of the actors…
Cumulative effects of offshore renewables
To alleviate climate change consequences, the UK government is pioneering offshore renewable energy developments at an ever-increasing pace. The North Sea is a dynamic ecosystem with strong bottom-up/top-down natural and anthropogenic drivers facing rapid climate change impacts. To ensure the compatibility of such large-scale developments with nature conservation obligations, regulatory processes set out that all effects need to be evaluated thro…
"Epistemic justice" (a memoir)
This is a review essay, focussing on Emma A. Jane's (2022) memoir, Diagnosis Normal: Living with Abuse, Undiagnosed Autism, and coronavirus disease grade Crazy (2022
The physics of meaning
The ambition of this paper is to say that if “cultural science” accepts the need to rethink culture along scientific rather than just critical lines, then at the same time physics must rethink its own commitment to “culture-free” methodology. That has only yielded what we might call “meaningless universe theory,” without addressing ways that physics as a discourse is strongly marked by culture, with the usual signs of gender, race, and hegemony p…
‘Pathetic earthlings! Who can save you now?’ Science fiction, planetary crisis and the globalisation of Chinese culture
Chinese policy has turned to the globalisation of communication and stories. Beyond the diplomatic ‘voice’, one of the ways that Chinese culture is reaching out to the rest of the world is through science fiction. Sci-fi can be construed as a specialist thinking-circuit for cultures to build and explore experimental models of collective action at global and planetary scale. What do its stories tell us about the globalisation of Chinese culture? W…

The Foundation
A new model for understanding global media and China
The topic of this article and title of this journal are the same: ‘global media and China’. Although ‘global’ suggests a single universal unit, adding ‘China’ necessarily creates a difference, especially in the context of the ‘Great Firewall’, which creates a well-defined boundary between global media and China. Should our title read ‘Global Media versus China’, suggesting that the apparent universality of ‘global’ phenomena may be an illusion in…
Paris with snakes’? The future of communication is/as ‘Cultural Science’
What if communication has been pursuing the wrong kind of science? This article argues that the physics-based or ‘transmission’ model derived from Claude Shannon and criticised by James Carey does not explain how communication works. We argue instead for a model derived from the evolutionary and complexity sciences. Here, communication is based on dynamic systems of meaning (not individual ‘particles’ of information), and relations among knowledg…
Urban semiosis
This article has two aims. The first is to make the case that the ‘universe of the mind’ imagined by Yuri Lotman may be considered as a foundational model for cultural evolution (population-wide, dynamic, autopoietic, self-organising adaptation to changing environments). The second aim is to take forward a model of culture derived from Lotman’s work – a model I call ‘the clash of systems’ – in order to apply it to creative industries research. Su…
Housing cultural studies
Three globally significant figures in cultural studies died in 2014. They were Terence Hawkes (13 May 1932–16 January 2014), Stuart Hall (3 February 1932–10 February 2014) and Richard Hoggart (24 September 1918–10 April 2014). I miss them all. That personal feeling motivates what follows. But there’s a public aspect to it too. Not only did I watch and admire these three people building cultural studies; I know the buildings they built it in. Sudd…
DIY John Curtin
This article introduces some of the problems confronting the popularization of national, civic and cultural heritage in the era of complex digital systems and social networks. Taking contemporary knowledge of John Curtin (Australia’s wartime PM) as its point of departure, the discussion explores some of the broader transformations of the conditions of citizenship, communication, heritage and knowledge production, and considers their implications …
Cultural Studies and the urgency of interdisciplinarity
A maior parte da criatividade no universo digital passa despercebida nas políticas e práticas da indústria e não é levada em conta nas estratégias culturais ou econômicas das indústrias criativas. É preciso encontrar formas para catalisar essa produtividade criativa, mostrando como as inovações do usuário podem contribuir para a aprendizagem social e o progresso econômico e cultural. Para isso, é preciso saber o que é um sistema aberto criativo e…
Exposure to sexually explicit visual media and sexual debut at age 15
Background and aims Longitudinal studies in the US have demonstrated associations between viewing sexually explicit media and early sexual initiation in adolescence. Protective effects of parental co-viewing and regulation of adolescents' media use have also been reported. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no current evidence exists on the effect of media on adolescent sexual debut. This study aimed to examine whether such associations could…
Silly citizenship
This paper traces historical changes in the concept of citizenship, in order to show how it has shifted from a state enterprise to a form of self-organising, user-created, ludic association, modelled by online social networks in which children – formally non-citizens but crucial to the continuing and changing discursive practices of citizenship-formation – are active agents. The implications of ‘silly’ citizenship for communication scholarship ar…
Attack of the Creationist Reverberators! Or
This special issue of Popular Communication examines the impact of the global financial crisis and recession on differnt aspects of global and regional media and the cultural industries, changing practices of media production, as well as media consumption, and the interplay of economic challenges and technological change
Homo Nuntius – Messaging Humanity
This article analyzes the history and application of the term “the message” in communication, cultural, and media studies. It goes on to propose that conceptual coherence can only be achieved for this concept if it is considered historically and in evolutionary terms. The article then pursues recent changes in the status of “the message” through four phases of semiotic history — (1) the representative (modern), (2) the excessive (postmodern), (3)…
Journalism and Popular Culture
This chapter identifi es popular culture as the true origin of modern journalism, taking “origin” to refer both to empirical historical beginnings, in revolutionary France and industrializing Britain, and also to theoretical fi rst principles, where popular culture is the subject (source) of journalism, not its object (destination). Therefore, I argue, the relations between journalism and popular culture, and between journalism studies and cultur…
The History and Future of Ideas
The Supremacy of Ignorance Over Instruction and of Numbers Over Knowledge”
I argue that a divergence between popular culture as “object” and “subject” of journalism emerged during the 19th century in Britain. It accounts not only for different practices of journalism, but also for differences in the study of journalism, as manifested in journalism studies and cultural studies, respectively. The paper offers an historical account to show that popular culture was the source of the first mass circulation journalism, via th…
A `cover narrative
So get used to the duplicity of what we know to be true: modernity’s‘nightmare’ is now global ‘reality’. What stands between us is narrative. Cultural studies is poised in that not-so-innocent space between representation and reality, Gothic horror and real nightmare, part velina handing out stories, part maiden projecting reason’s fears and desires. We’re in the story but also standing outside the frame. This then is the continuing ‘cover narrat…
The public sphere on the beach
This article discusses the idea of a ‘cultural public sphere’ together with related notions of ‘the’ public sphere, ‘counterpublics’ and ‘discourse publics’. It argues that the cultural public sphere emerges from cultural sources (e.g. ethnic identity) rather than political ones and is organized through private pursuits such as music, domestic life and leisure or entertainment venues. The article investigates the formation of a cultural public sp…

Coauthorship, Social Structure and Influence Within Specialties
Citation and co-citation of research articles can be used to produce bibliometric maps of the intellectual, but not necessarily the social, influences within scientific specialties. In the common situation where papers have multiple authors, author order is not a reliable guide to influence. By examining patterns of coauthorship, however, we are able to identify the significant figures within two sample specialties, and to show that the specialti…
Radiocracy
The history of radio from the early pre-broadcasting period shows how transmitted music and talk have been caught up in the evolution of contemporary citizenship. The article discusses Bertolt Brecht’s experiments in public radio in the 1920s, and argues that commercial radio can also be seen to have contributed to the self-identification of ‘imagined communities’. Internationally, despite the ascendance of other broadcast and communications medi…
About a Girl
Corinne’s friend Rose is sprawled on an old couch in Corinne’s flat in London. Surrounding Rose on the beer-stained carpet are a few mugs, an ashtray and a telephone cord. The photo is a record of Corinne Day’s reality from a time when she was still on the dole and partying hard. Her bleak but intimate photography became famous in the fashion pages of magazines like The Face and Vogue, where her early photographs of an unknown young model called …
Documenting Kate Moss
In the early 1990s a new image of British national identity emerged on the pages of The Face, Dazed and Confused and Vogue. Fashion and style photography created an aesthetic out of the lives of young Londoners and the places they lived in, including second-hand markets, the rave scene and shared flats. Corinne Day's seemingly private photo-diaries became the basis for her fashion magazine work. In these pictures she featured her friends, her fla…
There are other ways of being in the truth’
After 50 years, what are the implications of The Uses of Literacy for educational modernisation, in the light of subsequent changes from ‘read only’ literacy to ‘read-write’ uses of multimedia? This article argues that a broad extension of popular literacy via consumer-generated digital content offers not only emancipationist potential in line with Hoggart’s own project, but also economic benefits via the dynamics of creative innovation
Television, Nation, and Indigenous Media
Broadcast television has most often been understood as a site for the narration of unified national identity. But at the same time, it has been associated with the development of diversified cultural citizenship. This article considers some of the issues arising from situations in which cultural identities have clashed with national ones, especially the case of Indigenous issues on Australian television. The evolution of new forms of citizenship …
