The Dangers of Disappearance, the Opportunities of Recovery
This essay considers two archives and their traces: the Banff New Media Institute (BNMI) and the Daniel Langlois Foundation (DLF). Both archives are the product of transitory but significant initiatives in the media arts and digital media context. Both suffered unanticipated project endings due to institutional and human agency and are now in varying stages of recovery and rediscovery. A third personal artistic, cultural, and social history colle…

In this context, this study was conducted to develop an integrated index through the use of the multi‐criteria decision analysis method. The method combines existing discrete indexes into one comprehensive evaluation of public transportation, resulting in the sustainable trans…

Degrees of Freedom
The author discusses three models of corporate partnership that support the creation of new-media art: directed altruism, skunk works (product development), and regulated self-interest.

The BRIDGES Consortium seeks to create a collaborative forum for the study and development of interdisciplinary collaboration as a practice. At the first Bridges Summit, held in June 2001, participan…

The book offers an illuminating perspective on the nationwide proliferation of evangelical talk radio programs, publi…

Encounters with the Contemporary Radical Right
Academic Freedom, Conspicuous Benevolence, and the National Association of Scholars
ASA President James Coleman has joined the National Association of Scholars (NAS) in its campaign against 'political correctness' in academia. In this article we examine the origins of the NAS, its sources of funding, and the nature of its activities. We show that the NAS is part of a broader 'neoconservative' network and argue that the organization, despite its deceptive rhetoric, poses a serious threat to academic freedom
