The claustropolitan society
The imperative of this article is to develop the trope of the ‘lockdown imaginary.’ To enact this project, a diverse array of theories and theorist are summoned, including the tropes and trajectories from Jean Baudrillard, Benedict Anderson, and Steve Redhead. This – seemingly – odd intellectual combination is both timely and appropriate. It is necessary – as with the Matryoshka Dolls – to commence with a theorization of hyperreality, then we cra…
Occupying London
Shut your cake hole, you over-educated whore
The (higher) education of women is a pinball in the arcade game of contemporary masculinity. Andrew Tate, while often proclaiming the irrelevance of university degrees, has deployed their nomenclature through his Facebook page, titled the Tate University. One of his ‘courses’ was described as a PhD (Pimpin’ Hoes Degree). Why is the education of women discredited, yet the language of education summoned and activated to build the ‘alpha male’? This…
Thinking Dangerously in an Age of Political Betrayal
Minutes to Hell. Time to Tell the Truth. The Disintermediated Doctoral Student
It's probably always been true that you have to find your way through or around formal education in the search for what really matters (2011, 190
Socrates in Earpods? The iPodification of Education
From Bad Apples to Zombies? Walking Dead Leadership in the Contemporary University
Leadership remains an open sewer of assumptions, ego, platitudes and potential. When contextualized within an international university sector struggling and grasping to find a purpose, leadership becomes toxic and dangerous. This article reactivates, challenges and then transforms Ulrich Beck's zombie concept and applies it to university leadership, management and administration. I probe the renegotiation of power and identity, with particular at…
Panic learning off (and on) the Covid Campus
Online learning has been flooded with platitudes, promises and possibilities for twenty years. Oversold and undertheorized, online learning reached its "moment' through the Covid lockdown. Underprepared staff and underfunded universities implemented online learning in a crisis. This was a zombie apocalypse of a context in which to summon innovation. This article activates Paul Virilio's University of Disaster to explore the COVID campus and class…
Mayhem, Magic, Movement, and Methods
This is an article about a course, but shadows a much wider history of online education, media literacies and sonic media.[1] Teaching research methods is difficult.[2] Students hate it. Staff tolerate it. Occasionally, there is a comrade or sister who demonstrates as much commitment to Marxist and feminist research methods as Paris Hilton does to shopping, but most of the time it is hard to summon enthusiasm. Students approach these often mandat…
Herpes for the Information Age
Go to Darwin and Starve, Ya Bastard
Family stories weave in and out of sanitised, reified national histories.Colonized nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada and Aotearoa / New Zealand are built on a pioneering myth of white 'settlers' and 'explorers' moving through a landscape and 'discovering' mountains and rivers.The 'other side of the frontier'[1] -of genocide, sickness and institutional racism against indigenous peoples who were not granted the right of citizensh…

Trump Studies
This book addresses the seismic political events of Donald Trump’s presidency and the British vote to leave the EU. It explores why citizens vote against their own best interests, and demonstrates the role and value of universities in a time when evidence, expertise and facts often dissolve into opinion, emotion and fake news.
Braving the bull
Global neoliberalism is allowing manifold social inequalities to intensify under the ‘fair’ and neutral language of the market. On the eve of International Women's Day 2017, the statue Fearless Girl was installed facing Wall Street's iconic Charging Bull, drawing to attention the ongoing gendered nature of these dynamics. Similar relations are transforming the field of higher education giving us pause to question implications for academic women. …
Trump Studies
This article builds on the embryonic inter/trans/anti/disciplinary Trump Studies to generate a theoretical framework for understanding the Brexit outcome and Trump's victory. The consequences of researchers operating in a post-expertise political sphere means that new theories are required to create innovative interdisciplinary solutions to difficult, defiant and troubling social and economic problems. Using Jean Baudrillard's theorization of ban…
Recession, Recovery, Regeneration and Resilience
This article aligns theories of city imaging and physical cultural studies to probe the city of Newport. This 'new' city shares many cultural and economic characteristics with the rest of Wales, but also reveals some signicant differences. We focus on and probe the movement policies and cultures in the city, understanding the relationship between bodies and economics, cities and health. Through this discussion, we weave analyses of resilience thr…
Facing Off
This article offers a distinct rendering of Facebook. The social media giant is framed by Harold Innis’s late masterwork, The Bias of Communication. Probing what happens with media for leisure transform into educational media, this article explores how the speed and muddled intimacy of Facebook provide distinct challenges for the development of information literacy and information management in higher education
The pushbike song
This article explores how small cities use cycling for both residential transportation and active tourism. While cycling may be child's play, and indeed a part of childhood socialization, the 'pushbike' has a role in regional development. Our work investigates cycling and cycling policy. We then focus on one small city at the southern tip of Western Australia. Albany is attempting to transform itself into a cycling city and an international capit…
Colonial control or terroir tourism? The case of Houghton's White Burgundy
Is Burgundy more than a region in France, or could it refer to a style of wine making? Food and wine are not only derived from a place. They make a place. Other industries are enabled through food and wine, particularly tourism. 'Region' has a distinctive role in framing the brand and prole of a wine bottle. 'Region' mitigates risk for a consumer. Region is a proxy for quality. This article investigates the impact of the legal protection and cont…

Playing on the Periphery
Part of the Sport in the Global Society series, this innovative and creative text explores collective history, memory, and sport culture, tracking the passage of sports away from England. The author investigates why 'elite' English sports - such as rugby and cricket - became national sports in New Zealand and Australia, and asks why 'working class' English sports - such as football - have travelled less well to these areas. Focusing on these spor…

Britain's last line of defence
What have you ever done on the telly?’
Cultural studies theorists have neglected two topics: the changes to the workplace and innovations in comedy. This article reconnects cultural studies with both work and comedy through attention to one of the finest British satires ever made: The Office. I track this programme by situating it in the three intertwined ‘crises’ of our era: in television, work and masculinity

He Lies like a Rug
With most critical and historical interpretations of the Internet trapped between the ideologies of technophilia and the progress, little attention is being placed on the digital future of the analogue past. This paper evaluates contemporary notions of cataloguing, preservation and memory. However, most stress is placed on how the passions and enthusiasm of popular culture are tempered through digitisation
Internet teaching and the administration of knowledge
Settle down people. Welcome to ERE 102. This course, colloquially known as Selling Silicon Snake Oil, provides an introduction to an Economically Rationalist Education. I teach you how to use the Internet, not for the purposes of critical thinking or creative mobilisations of hypertext, but to administer knowledge. For those of you with busy lifestyles, you are encouraged to leave the lecture theatre right now, and buy yourself a long black at th…

Buff Puffing an Empire
Robbie Williams
This article presents a history of Robbie Williams. However, the meaning of that word — history — does not convey a seamless narrative of linear, normalizing truths of a great man. Instead, the recent past is fractured, severed and then quilted. Four keypads of culture are pressed. First, an exploration of boy bands is enacted, followed by a survey of masculinity theory, Generation X and dance culture. These four snatches of myth and memory are s…
Pay and Scroll
Libraries are one of the great institutions of the last millennium, but they are frequently politically decentred and intellectually marginalised. The recent Double-Fold crisis, triggered by Nicholson Baker's book, has again raised questions about the function of libraries. Is access for readers to information the primary task for librarians, or should preservation be the over-riding goal? This article - which is actually a thinking piece - affir…

From Eleanor Rigby to Nannanet
The proportion and number of wired seniors is small. A grey gap punctuates in the digital divide. The World Wide Web is not a panacea or salve for the isolation and ageism that confronts senior citizens. Yet a proactive and political desire to wire those who are living, dancing, talking and thinking in God’s Waiting Rooms around the world provide one more safety net and social safeguard to collectivize the dispersed and dispossessed. This article…

Popping the museum
This article excavates the ‘problem’ of popular culture in museums, with particular attention to Sheffield’s National Centre for Popular Music and Preston’s National Football Museum. In both cases, profound issues are raised for information and knowledge experts who must manage and negotiate the contradictions of the popular. These two case studies are contextualized through both urban regeneration policies and sports tourism strategies. Both ins…
