Audience and Its Landscape
Afterword: The Place of the Audience: Beyond Audience Studies
"Audience", as semiotics would remind us, is a subject and concept that is the product of convention. Discussions about audiences contribute to the spatial organization of places people inhabit and are in turn conditioned by a world that is spatially organized and practiced. Audiences get defined from particular sites, in relation to particular places, and within particular contexts. Audience analysis may lead to the recognition of everyday life,…
The automated states, automated government, and self-automation of the 'smart' appliance: Three Questions About Refrigerators

Rethinking Convergence/Culture: An introduction
Over the first decade of the twenty-first century there has been a growing perception that we live in an era of media ‘convergence’. There are at least four ways that the expression ‘convergence’ h
‘Popular Culture’ in a Critique of the New Political Reason
Since the US presidential campaign of 2004, references to a new political 'populism' abound. Sometimes the politics of populism has been waged over the claim, by the Left and the Right, to populism. Although there is a long history of political movements representing themselves as populist, the struggle over the claim to populism has certain recent inflections, and matters differently than in the past, and in the USA differently than in other par…
Too Good to Fail: Managing Financial Crisis Through the Moral Economy of Realty TV
This article thinks about citizenship and media in the context of the recent “financial crisis,” and the role of a collapsed real estate market in the crisis. Specifically, the article examines the transformations and recent legacy of what the author refers to as realty TV, a vein of Reality TV programs oriented toward the virtues, pleasures, and rewards of capitalizing on home improvement and investment during the first decade of the 21st centur…
Undressing the Death Scene, and Other Puzzling Communication About Culture That James Carey Bequeathed Me
This essay chronicles four lessons (or puzzles) that James Carey 'left’ to the author. These lessons pertain to Carey's account of communication as culture, the salience of that account with respect to the changing meanings and objectives of the 'liberal arts’ and sciences, Carey's view of the relation between time and space (history and geography), and the suggestiveness of Carey's interest in the relation between communication and transportatio…

This article is about a contradiction in writing about television: the tendency either to assume that TV is synonymous or interchangeable with other media (e.g., the “mass culture ” thesis, the “economic determinism” thesis, the “postmodernism ” thesis) or to assume that TV is a relatively discrete object and a distinctive sphere of practice (with its own past, present, and future). The former tendency clearly generalizes TV; both tendencies gene…
