Style
"Style: A Queer Cosmology considers artists and critics whose work defines style as that which eludes paraphrase or social scientific categorization; rather, they show style to be the attributes that make us all more like ourselves and less like each other"--
News, Inc.
Taking a critical historical approach, this book examines the convergence of journalism and advertising industries that has led to the blurring of commercial and editorial functions within news organizations. This book considers the rise of brand journalism as it is broadly conceived across multiple genres and media forms, from brand-produced interactive documentaries such as Google’s “Beyond the Map” to sponsored multimedia features, videos, and podcasts made by news- and non-governmental organizations. Focusing on cases in North America and Europe, Dowling traces the origins of brand journalism and addresses key debates and disruptions brought about by the widespread adoption of the ...
Making the University Matter
Making the University Matter investigates how academics situate themselves simultaneously in the university and the world and how doing so affects the viability of the university setting. The university stands at the intersection of two sets of interests, needing to be at one with the world while aspiring to stand apart from it.

Adcreep journeys through the curious and sometimes troubling world of modern advertising. Mark Bartholomew exposes an array of marketing techniques that might seem like the stuff of science fiction: neuromarketing, biometric scans, automated online spies, and facial recognition techno...
Quiet Defiance

The Authenticity Industries
In recent decades, authenticity has become an American obsession. It animates thirty years' worth of reality TV programming and fuels the explosive virality of one hot social media app after another. It characterizes Donald Trump's willful disregard for political correctness (and proofreading) and inspires multinational corporations to stake activist claims in ways that few "woke" brands ever dared before. It buttresses a multibillion-dollar influencer industry of everyday folks shilling their friends with #spon-con and burnishes the street cred of rock stars and rappers alike. But, ironically, authenticity's not actually real: it's as fabricated as it is ubiquitous. In The Authenticity Indu...
