hat is Cultural Studies!? Oh, we know all
about Stuart Hall and his landmark work and we are hip
to the tune of Marshall Blonsky, Marshall McLuhan,
Susan Sontag, Henry Louis Gates Jr., and John Berger.
But what will Cultural Studies look like after AI,
after COVID, after the next new wave of
next-generation developments in computer science. 
One
might think: “The algorithms will write future
essays.” But that means tenure for algorithms? Surely
not! In our newest book, Cultural
Studies in the Digital Age,
you will find essays on Disney, video games, fashion
photography, and more—the traditional fodder of
cultural studies; but you will also find deep
meditations on memes, Instagram, social media, the
border, Mexico, and more. 
Sit
back and get ready to read some of the more
provocative musings on both sides of the Atlantic by
up-and-coming stars of Ethnic Studies, Literature,
Linguistics, and more. Contributors include: Frederick
Aldama, Brian Frastaci, Federico Tarquini, Antonio
Rafele, Tito Vagni, Gwendolyn Kurtz, Kristal Bivona,
Luca Acquarelli, William Nericcio, Katie Waltman,
Massimo Cerulo, Lorenzo Bruni, Alberto Abruzzese,
Jennifer Carter, Ralph Clare, Nello Barile, Katlin
Marisol Sweeney, Bonnie Opliger, Matteo Treleani,
Vanni Codeluppi, Guerino Bovalino, Agnese Pastorino,

Hyperbole Books, Our Backstory Buy the Hype |
 HYPERBOLE Books maintains the "scholarly" editorial quality associated with major U.S. University Presses, while advocating as well, a brasher, harsher, more strident editorial policy: think of a rant with footnotes; a harangue with a bibliography; a scream with an index. Hyperbole Books volumes will be available in print in special trade paperback editions.
