Fan studies have mostly ignored this most moralized form of fandom, as a stigmatized Bad Other in implicit tension with the field’s successful campaign to recuperate the broader fan category. Yet serial killer fandom, as Judith May Fathallah shows in the book, can be usefully studied with many of the field’s leading analytic frameworks. After tracing the pre-digital history of fans, mediated celebrity, and killers, Fathallah examines contemporary fandom through the lens of textual poaching, affective community, subcultural capital, and play. With close readings of fan posts, comments, and mashups on Tumblr, TikTok, and YouTube, alongside documentaries, podcasts, and a thriving “murderabilia” industry, Killer Fandom argues that this fan culture is, in many ways, hard to distinguish from more “mainstream” fandoms. Fan creations around Aileen Wuornos, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and Richard Ramirez, among others, demonstrate a complex and shifting stance toward their objects—marked by parodic humor and irony in many cases. Killer Fandom ultimately questions—given our crime-and violence-saturated media culture—whether it makes sense to set Dahmer and Wuornos “fans” apart from the rest of us.} } @book{978-1-951399-03-0, title = {Liberty and the News}, author = {Walter Lippmann}, year = 2020, month = 11, day = 15, publisher = {mediastudies.press}, address = {Bethlehem, PA}, series = {Public Domain Series}, volume = 2, doi = {10.32376/3f8575cb.2e69e142}, isbn = {978-1-951399-03-0}, issn = {2770-2480}, url = {https://www.mediastudies.press/liberty-and-the-news}, copyright = {https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/}, abstract = {Liberty and the News was published a century ago, the young Walter Lippmann’s fifth book.

The approach taken is to treat the self on social media as suspended between authenticity and performance. The collection traces the roots of the popular demand for individual self-expression to the early twentieth century. The message, then as now, was that the best way to get ahead is to consciously cultivate an authentic persona. The task, if anything, is more onerous today, with our fingers hovering, and hesitating, over the post button. In a nod to the theatrical context, the collection is divided into “acts,“ five of them, followed by a handful of “encore” readings that speculate on the shareable future. Each of its component works already carries an open access license, or—in the case of copyrighted items—links to a web version. The collection will be updated with new material at least twice a year, in concert with the typical North American academic calendar.

The long essay was published as a chapter in Jansen’s Critical Communication Theory, a book whose wisdom and erudition failed to register across the many fields it addressed. One explanation for the neglect, ironic and telling, is that Jansen’s sheer scope as an intellectual had few competent readers in the communication studies discipline into which she published the book. “What Was Artificial Intelligence?” was buried treasure. In this mediastudies.press edition, Jansen’s prescient autopsy of AI self-selling—the rhetoric of the masculinist sublime—is reprinted with a new introduction.

His 1953 dissertation is published here for the first time, on the hundredth anniversary of his birth. The remarkable study, based on fieldwork on a remote Scottish island, presents in embryonic form the full spread of Goffman’s thought. Framed as a “report on a study of conversational interaction,” the dissertation lingers on the modest talk of island “crofters.” It is trademark Goffman: ambitious, unconventional in form, and brimmed with big-picture insight. The thesis is that social order is made and re-made in communication—the “interaction order” he re-visited in a famous and final talk before his 1982 death. The dissertation is, as Yves Winkin writes in a new introduction, the “Rosetta stone for his entire work.” It was here, in 360 dense pages, that Goffman revealed, quietly, his peerless sensitivity to the invisible wireframes of everyday life.} } @book{978-1-951399-11-5, title = {Creativity: Process and Personality}, author = {Larry Gross}, year = 2023, month = 1, day = 15, publisher = {mediastudies.press}, address = {Bethlehem, PA}, series = {Public Domain Series}, volume = 4, doi = {10.32376/3f8575cb.60b97b6f}, isbn = {978-1-951399-11-5}, issn = {2770-2480}, url = {https://www.mediastudies.press/creativity}, copyright = {https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/}, abstract = {Before arriving in the field of communication, Larry Gross was a psychology student at Brandeis University; Creativity: Process and Personality was Gross’s undergraduate thesis at Brandeis, completed in 1964.

Creativity: Process and Personality finds Gross exploring the nature of creativity by interviewing some of the era’s most noteworthy experts in psychology, including Herbert Simon, Milton Rokeach, Abraham Maslow, David McClelland, Jerome Bruner, and B. F. Skinner. The result of Gross’s interviews is a nuanced and multi-perspectival set of interlocking chapters, each of which probes the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of creativity. Creativity: Process and Personality remains a provocative consideration of how creativity takes form, while also operating as a revealing snapshot of mid-twentieth century psychological thought.} } @book{978-1-951399-26-9, title = {Early Media Effects Theory & the Suggestion Doctrine: Selected Readings, 1895–1935}, shorttitle = {Early Media Effects Theory & the Suggestion Doctrine}, author = {Patrick Parsons}, year = 2024, month = 4, day = 1, publisher = {mediastudies.press}, doi = {10.32376/3f8575cb.f1e0489e}, isbn = {978-1-951399-26-9}, url = {https://www.mediastudies.press/early-effects}, abstract = {While much has been written on the history of media effects research in the United States, a casual review of the literature could reasonably lead one to believe that little if any such work was conducted until the 1940s. The anthology, consisting of over 30 public domain works originally publishing from the late 19th century to the mid-1930s, demonstrates the rich and varied study of media effects before mid-century—much of it centered on the concept of “suggestion.” What media scholars know today as “persuasion,” social psychologists of the early 1900s would have understood as the process of suggestion. The works collected in Early Media Effects Theory & the Suggestion Doctrine include the original statements on the subject from many of the leading social theorists of the age, among them figures such as Gabriel Tarde and Gustave Le Bon in France and James Baldwin, Edward Ross, and Floyd Allport in the United States.} } @book{978-1-951399-19-1, title = {Franklin Ford Collection}, editor = {Dominique Trudel and Juliette De Maeyer}, year = 2023, month = 7, day = 15, publisher = {mediastudies.press}, address = {Bethlehem, PA}, series = {Public Domain Series}, volume = 5, doi = {10.32376/3f8575cb.80aee30a}, isbn = {978-1-951399-19-1}, issn = {2770-2480}, url = {https://www.mediastudies.press/ford-collection}, copyright = {https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/}, abstract = {The American journalist Franklin Ford (1849–1918) is remembered for his ambitious (and stillborn) Thought News periodical, hatched with philosopher John Dewey.

The collection includes nineteen documents—letters, leaflets, editorials, and treatises—with critical annotations from Trudel and De Maeyer. The works, many unpublished or rarely circulated, illustrate the core themes that animated Ford's career, including his sweeping program of press reform and his thoughts on the interconnected flows of money, transportation, and communication.} }
