An Anthology of Interdisciplinary Inquiries, Postulations, and Findings
Advance word on CULTURAL STUDIES IN THE DIGITAL
AGE:
"Cultural Studies in
the Digital Age is a remarkable collection that
defines the cutting edge of Cultural Studies. With
essays that range from photography to emotion,
from digitality to architecture, it should be
required reading for all students of
culture…Cultural Studies in the Digital Age
contains great work, and it suggests great work
lies ahead."
Michael Ryan
Professor Emeritus, Temple University
Author of Cultural
Studies: An Anthology
What
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.

VISIONS by
Mexican Cultural Critic, Naief Yehya
'Is our future a thing of the past?' asks a character in Sleep Dealer, Alex Rivera’s sci-fi premonition of neuro-jacked Mexicans who toil in maquiladoras of the mind. In Drone Visions, the Mexican film critic Naief Yehya excavates the nightmare logic of our times in the trash-heaps of Hollywood’s tomorrows. Reading between the frames of canonical cyberpunk texts like Blade Runner, Alien, and The Terminator; “video-game” footage of smart-bomb strikes in the Gulf War; and documentary interviews with cubicle warriors who call their long-distance kills 'bugsplats,' Yehya tracks the predatory technologies that
have stalked us in our dreams ever since Frankenstein."

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.
