Blake, Modernity and Popular Culture
No full textA continuation of Radical Blake that sought to expand its themes and methodologies, this collected edition brought together international Blake scholars to consider the impact of Blake’s work on a wide range of media and cultural activity, including film, graphic novels, psychology, and drama, as well as literature and the fine arts. Its origin was a conference in 2002, Blake and the Popular, held at Strawberry Hill, Twickenham and for which I was co-organiser with Steve Clark (University of Tokyo).
Linking all the essays was the exploration of ways in which the first widespread appreciation of Blake as an artist coincided with the rise of Modernism, and how Blake may thus be considered an artist working within the scope of Modernism, but also the ways he has been picked up in a variety of pop culture formats and media. As well as co-writing the introductory essay, which outlined these considerations, the author's own contribution consisted of a chapter, entitled ‘From Hell: Blake and Evil in Popular Culture’, on the use of Blake in thrillers, films, and graphic novels
Online Journalism in Africa: Trends, Practices and Emerging Cultures
No full textVery little is known about how African journalists are forging "new" ways to practise their profession on the web. Against this backdrop, this volume provides contextually rooted discussions of trends, practices, and emerging cultures of web-based journalism(s) across the continent, offering a comprehensive research tool that can both stand the test of time as well as offer researchers (particularly those in the economically developed Global North) models for cross-cultural comparative research. The essays here deploy either a wide range of evidence or adopt a case-study approach to engage with contemporary developments in African online journalism. This book thus makes up for the gap in cross-cultural studies that seek to understand online journalism in all its complexities
You Want What We've Got: Big Tech v Big Journalism
No full textIn the past three decades, the battle between big tech and big journalism has reshaped how we consume the news. Jason Whittaker delves into how tech giants outmanoeuvred traditional media companies, siphoning off advertising revenue and audience attention. As journalism struggled to adapt, social media platforms evolved from utopian public spaces into breeding grounds for misinformation and fake news, eroding public trust. The influence of billionaires further complicated the digital ecosystem, swaying public opinion and exercising direct political power that previous media moguls could only dream of. More recently, AI has begun to revolutionize content creation, distribution and consumption. Whittaker provides an incisive examination of the frequently combative relations of these two industries and the uncertain future of the news in the digital age.</p

Jason vs GIJOE
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Jason vs GI JOE is partly an exercise in autobiography, an experiment in relational aesthetics, and an interdisciplinary artist project at the intersection of comic books, creative writing and performance art. This comic book, Jason vs. GIJOE, is a postmodern double erasure, based on the comic book GIJOE: Cobra II (Issue 1). The original pictures from the comic book have been removed, and replaced by a series of short narratives, describing autobiographical events from the life of the author: me, Jason. Speech bubbles from the original have been left to comment back over top of the stories, obscuring meaning but creating moments of unplanned dialogue. The comic is a readymade, twice erased: once to replace the drawings of the initial comic, and again when using the original dialogue bubbles to speak back to the narrative
