Hot off the press
The special issue of Media International Australia I edited with Gerard Goggin arrived this week. Admire the beautifully Australian backyard aesthetic captured here by Kat! We are so happy to have her work on the cover because we think it symbolises our aims for the issue: to begin a rigorous local discussion about wireless infrastructure [...]
Done
So it actually took two weeks, but now it’s submitted. I’m looking forward to some feedback, because it’s one of the biggest things I’ve written since my book. I cite a bunch of you guys in it too, so best that you take a look at it at this stage. I really hope I’ve done [...]
Rates of writing
There’s been quite a bit of discussion going on in the comments of this post, which I’d urge people to take a look at if they haven’t for a while. I can’t help but read the various responses as themselves symptomatic of the difficulties junior scholars have at getting mobilised for a big cause. Lots [...]
An introduction to affect
With one project finally off my whiteboard for good, it’s getting to crunch time for The Affect Reader, as Greg and I try to get a full draft to Duke in time for peak commissioning season in the US. My most recent experience of academic presses in the States was frustrating, and as an Australian [...]

On Friday Home Cooked Theory was approached by the State Library of Queensland to be included as part of the National Library’s Pandora archive. This means the blog will now be available for the public to access in years to come. I feel incredibly humbled by this, and even more motivated to keep blogging in [...]
$55 000 to study social networking online
I’ve been keeping a big secret and now I’m finally able to spread the news. Last night my online intimacy project was given a UQ Foundation Research Excellence Award! You can read all about the study here, but if you are a regular reader you’ll already know that this is the spin-off project from my [...]
Affective labour on social networking sites
The discussion currently taking place on the cultstud list about self-branding on social networking sites bears interesting relation to the similar spate of posts on fibreculture recently. Both developed out of efforts on the part of some members to develop relevant discussion groups on Facebook, and my initial response has been to wonder why lists [...]
Mobile Media 2007
I promised to blog about last week’s conference, but in doing so I won’t be quite as comprehensive as Axel, so you should go there if you want specifics on lots of the papers. There are a couple more reports here too; plus hopefully Larissa will share her flickr account details with me soon, given [...]
