We're (Joss Hands and Jussi Parikka) having a book launch event at Anglia Ruskin University next week, room 251 at 5PM, for our new books, respectively: @ is For Activism and Insect Media - all are welcome, see more details below. Also if you can't make Cambridge we'll be doing the same thing at Lincoln University the day before, also at 5PM
New Directions in Media Studies: Questioning The Digital Turn'.
In their new books Anglia Ruskin lecturers Joss Hands (@ is for activism) and Jussi Parikka (Insect Media) address some of the pressing new issues in Media Studies emerging from the digital revolution in communication technology. This event will act as a book launch, but also offers the chance to address the relevancy of innovative cross disciplinary themes in contemporary Media Studies.
Both books are characterized by distinct theoretical and political perspectives on issues such as the impact of digital networks on collective action, the ontology of politics, economic production, the 'post-human' subject and science-arts interdisciplinarity.
Hands and Parikka will offer short introductions to key themes in their books and welcome questions and discussion over wine and nibbles.
The event is sponsored by CoDE – Cultures of the Digital Economy research institute at Anglia Ruskin, and the campus bookshop John Smith's is offering both books to be purchased at a discount during the event.
All welcome!
