Pravda Kid: July 2006
http://pravdakid.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to media research, theory, and criticism. Thursday, July 27, 2006. MEDIACOMMONS APPEARS ON THE HORIZON. The other day, my pal Jeff Pooley pointed out to me a new project that is being assembled by the good folks over at the Institute for the Future of the Book. And the online discussion boards have been filled with commentary ever since. Will the world be saved if only our insights could be distributed to a broader public? In essence: does the public want this? An audience does not mean ...

Midlevel intelligence professionals, State Department planners, scientists "in the bowels of the" EPA, and other clipboard-holding Bob Newhart types. What am I trying to say here?

Pravda Kid: August 2007
http://pravdakid.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to media research, theory, and criticism. Friday, August 31, 2007. My most recent post concerned the fact that the comic book 'renaissance' that has happened since the 1980s can be linked quite directly to the development of a comic book specialty market. Thinking with this, we can see how other media change when they are filtered through a specialty market. I A REPLY TO ARCHAMBEAU. My fellow blogger Bob Archambeau, in a comment on this very blog, says:. A: No, it doesn't. Those outs...

Pravda Kid: August 2006
http://pravdakid.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to media research, theory, and criticism. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. Critical Studies in Media Communication. Gets A Critical Forum, or "I Want To Get Critical". But the thing I want to talk about here is the critical forum that comes at the end of this issue of CSMC. After a short introduction by Jack Lule, Michael Schudson and Sari Thomas offer some critical insights about Carlson's article. Bloom and Kelly, by any conventional understanding of the term, were courageous. Without furth...

Pravda Kid: October 2006
http://pravdakid.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to media research, theory, and criticism. Monday, October 09, 2006. My brothers-in-arms (or, if you will, brothers-in-armchairs) Bob Archambeau. What can one do with this? It's not surprising that Adorno moved back to Germany. I suppose the first thing to say about the opening section of Aesthetic theory is simply to call attention to a tendency in the field of communication (and, I'm sure, in sociology, as well; perhaps in English? NO," says Theodor. "How 'bout this rock? Is often exper...

A blog dedicated to media research, theory, and criticism. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. THE PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL, AKA ONE OF THE WORLD'S MORE ANNOYING TOPICS (AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE). I mean, I get it. In one camp, you've got the intellectuals who chide other intellectuals for not being public enough. In the other, you've got some grumblers who problemetize this. It's like a double play: Benda to Gramsci to Said. What's Gattone's point here? Posted by pravdakid at 11:25 AM. Wednesday, June 21, 2006. My pal J...

Pravda Kid: November 2006

A blog dedicated to media research, theory, and criticism. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. DUCK HUNT: A METAPHOR TO HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW SCREENS ACT AS SENSORS. I've spent the last couple weeks thinking about the video game Duck Hunt. I think Duck Hunt makes for a pretty good metaphor for what some parts of the new media environment are all about. How does this screen know what is a hit and what is a miss? Is this some kind of special screen that can act as a sensor, as well as a monitor? Of course, the ...

Pravda Kid: December 2006
http://pravdakid.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to media research, theory, and criticism. Friday, December 29, 2006. A SUITE OF ADORNO-RELATED IDEAS/RIFFS. It's been a while since I've posted, and even longer since I turned my attention to Adorno here. Allow me please to shock myself back into Aesthetic Theory with a suite of ideas. I have (as has been ordained by the Gods of well-organized ideas, capricious though they be) three ideas to pursue here:. 1) "The Ugly, The Beautiful, and Technique". En Garde, Monsieur Scroggins! In an ea...
