Ana Knežević explores the intersection of internet memes and art history, analyzing how memes appropriate classical artworks and redefine their meaning in digital culture. Read her study in the INSAM Journal: https://doi.org/10.51191/issn.2637-1898.2022.5.8.150
Also by her:
“Writing and Reading Digital Art History” by Ana Knežević examines the evolution of art history in the digital age, highlighting changes in media while arguing that core methodologies remain unchanged. It explores authorship, collective writing, and distant reading in digital projects.

In 1973, a brilliant critic named Stuart Hall created a diagram that changed the way we study media, and could help you survive this moment. Just dropped: the second letter in my series about how to analyze the media in a time of crisis. It's all about codes. https://buttondown.com/thehypothesis/archive/the-man-who-discovered-media-codes-and-how-to/ #media #stuarthall #mediastudies #discourse
TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY - 2/6/1982
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: This is what passed for gay-themed humor in 1982, back when mentioning queer people at all counted as a joke. Mary Gross and guest star James Coburn teach us how to spot a homosexual, and there's news about a beloved children's TV duo.

We're kicking off our #conference "Urban Speculations" tonight @CDCLeuphana! If you're trying to grapple with #BigTech's influence on politics, futures, and #city worlds atm you're right with us! The best strategy right now seems to build alliances and get together. Hope to see you there or online!
I'm (hopefully) finishing my book manuscript this semester and have started a blog where I'll informally post ideas I'm working through. If you're having a particularly boring Saturday night, here's the first post (which gives a big nod to @ftripodi ).

TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY: Jan. 21, 1993
The OPRAH WINFREY SHOW explored what happens when a homosexual meets their partner’s family. (I don’t know... They eat peanut butter sandwiches and play backgammon???)
As late as the 90s, queer lives were unfamiliar territory for enough viewers that shows like OPRAH and DONAHUE and SALLY JESSY RAPHAEL could get a whole hour out of this sort of topic. The airdate probably varied by city, since OPRAH was a syndicated series.
For anyone bringing #AI into their teaching this term, Tom Haigh just shared the syllabus for a new course titled "A Short History of Artificial Intelligence" (based on his forthcoming book). The supplemental readings offer a nice slice through the literature, from subject area experts to popular perspectives.
The paper also attempts to popularize(?) the term "slothwashing", coined in a Twitter discussion of #California oil lobbyist behavior!
Out now in Communication, Culture & Critique

That link is open access right now but I don't know if it's limited in how many clicks, etc. If it's not working & you want to see the paper, lmk!
TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY
MY SO-CALLED LIFE: "Resolutions" - 1/5/1995, ABC
Teenaged Rickie (Wilson Cruz), whose family kicked him out for being gay, makes a New Year's resolution to move out of the Chases' home. But where can he go?
"What makes this a cultural event isn’t that somebody killed a CEO, but that millions of people refused to respond the way they were supposed to respond."
"What happens when the news is no longer a thing that flows from an authority figure’s televised lips the way clean water flows from a faucet, but instead a kind of game you participate in?"
